‘Dead by Daylight’ Arrives on Next-Gen Systems With New Launch Trailers
With the Xbox Series X/S being unleashed to the masses on November 10, and the PlayStation 5 following for parts of the world on November 12, Behaviour Interactive are reminding fans that their hit asymmetrical horror game Dead by Daylight is coming to both systems as a launch title. Players who own an Xbox One or a PlayStation 4 version of the game will be eligible for a free upgrade to next-gen, as well as have their progress in the game follow them to next-gen, as well.
In addition, Behaviour is still at work overhauling the graphical capabilities of the title with their Realm Beyond Graphical update, which will allow Dead by Daylight to run at 60 fps and 4K on new consoles. Moreover, the team will continue to release regular content drops for free, as will be the case on all other platforms.
“Dead by Daylight continues to break records and we’re so grateful to our fans for their support. The future is coming to us in the shape of these amazing new platforms. Dead by Daylight will be there, bigger and better than ever to terrify people using the latest tech!” said Mathieu Côté, Head of Partnerships, Behaviour Interactive.
Dead by Daylight is also available on Steam and the Nintendo Switch.
The House of The Dead fans have a new rail shooter to dive into with Alex Rassloff‘s MEATHOOK, which will be launching on Steam on July 21. If you can’t wait that long, you can check out the demo, which features seven of the game’s 10 levels.
This survival horror FPS sees you being captured by a mysterious cult, which has killed your partner and suspended you from a conveyor mechanism like a piece of meat. Making matter worse, you’re now forced to partake in a collection of ritualistic challenges, collecting weapons and cleansing the tunnels of cultists that are looking to carve you up.
Sporting throwback PS1-style graphics and gore, MEATHOOK also features a tactile physics-driven weapon system as well as a unique manual reload feature. You navigate the small interconnected levels by selecting markers to move along the conveyor that takes you throughout the levels. You’ll be stocking up on resources such as food, ammo, keys and guns.
For added replay, there are multiple paths to discover, as well as a few shortcuts. There are also secret items to discover for the completionists in mind.
