‘Dead by Daylight’ Beta Kicks Off Today

Published

on

Behaviour Digital is giving us a chance to try their asymmetrical multiplayer horror game Dead by Daylight before it releases on June 14th with a closed beta that kicks off today — as in it’s rolling out on Steam right now. And it’s not another one of those weekend-long betas, either. No sir, this beta will be around until June 12th, so you should have plenty time to see what the first entry in this exciting new wave of slasher games has to offer.

For now, access is limited. If you pre-ordered the game, you should see the key — or keys, as in there should be three of them, if you grabbed the deluxe edition — in your Steam inventory. If you registered for the beta at PAX, then you should get an email today with your beta key. And finally, if you played the alpha, there’s nothing for you to do, “your alpha key is becoming a Beta key as we speak. Just make sure the game gets updated.”

To everyone else, be patient. You might still be able to get in on this, as Behaviour confirms more “keys might be coming from different places. Our Twitch session, next Thursday, is a good place to try.” I’d also recommend keeping an eye on the game’s Steam forums.

Three horror powerhouses are coming together for The Monkey, an adaptation of the Stephen King story that’s being produced by James Wan and directed by Osgood Perkins.

The Monkey is a short horror story that appeared in Skeleton Crew, a 1985 collection that also featured The Mist, The Jaunt, The Raft, Survivor Type, The Reach, and more.

Deadline reports today that filming on The Monkey has wrapped, and the website has revealed the full cast for the upcoming horror movie. Read on for everything you need to know.

Theo James (The White Lotus) stars alongside Tatiana Maslany (SheHulkAttorney at Law), Elijah Wood (Maniac), Christian Convery (Sweet Tooth), Colin O’Brien (Wonka), Rohan Campbell (Halloween Ends) and Sarah Levy (Schitt’s Creek).

Osgood Perkins (The Blackcoat’s Daughter, Gretel & Hansel, the upcoming Longlegs) wrote the screenplay for the feature film adaptation and he also directed the upcoming movie.

“In The Monkey, when twin brothers Hal and Bill discover their father’s old monkey toy in the attic, a series of gruesome deaths starts occurring all around them. The brothers decide to throw the monkey away and move on with their lives, growing apart over the years.

“But when the mysterious deaths begin again, the brothers must reunite to find a way to destroy the monkey for good before it takes the lives of everyone close to them.”

James Wan is producing with Atomic Monster partner Michael Clear (M3GAN), and C2 Motion Picture Group’s Jason Cloth (Joker) and Dave Caplan (Babylon).
