Behaviour Interactive Squashes Rumour Regarding Leatherface Leaving ‘Dead by Daylight’

Published

Those of you fearing that everyone’s favourite chainsaw-wielding cannibal in Leatherface would be leaving Dead by Daylight over the next couple of months can rest easy. Developer Behaviour Interactive has responded to the rumour, saying that Leatherface is sticking around.

A member of Behaviour Interactive’s PR team issued the following statement regarding the rumour that Leatherface would be leaving Dead by Daylight within the next few months:

“I am glad to share with you that The Cannibal is indeed staying a part of the Dead by Daylight Experience. He’s hooked on us! See you in The Fog!”

The rumour over Leatherface’s departure was sparked by Twitter fan accounts that had been looking over Dead by Daylight‘s code from the recent Public Test Build. The fan accounts had noticed changes in Leatherface’s Perk strings that gave the impression that the development team was prepping for the license for Leatherface to expire. Coupled with the fact fans had previously experienced disappointment with  Stranger Things content leaving Dead by Daylight, and with Gun Interactive’s asymmetrical horror game The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is set to be released later this year, and fans were obviously concerned.

Meanwhile, Dead by Daylight is currently in the midst of their Lunar New Year event known as Moonlight Burrow, which sees the return of Red Envelopes, the arrival of Paper Lanterns, and several Outfits to unlock. The event kicks off today and lasts until January 24th.

The Dead by Daylight is currently available on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.

Netflix Brings Play-on-TV Thriller ‘Unhinged’ to the Service June 30 [Trailer]

Published

on

Netflix continues to venture into video games, announcing Unhinged, an immersive horror game that will launch on the streaming service on June 30. Developed by Night School Studio (the folks behind Oxenfree and its sequel), the play-on-TV game stars Zoë KravitzSadie Sink, and for video game fans, voice actor Troy Baker.

Unhinged centres around a woman named Ava (voiced by Kravitz), who is trapped inside her apartment building by a Category 5 Hurricane. Her only link to the outside is a call from her best friend Claire (voiced by Sink), who lives across the street.

Things however take a darker turn, as the suffocating uneasiness transforms her home into a hostile prison. The building’s stairwell is locked shut, and a wellness check on a neighbor reveals unsettling signs of life, but no answer. Ava soon realizes that she is no longer alone.

Playing Unhinged has you selecting the game from the Netflix Games row and scan the onscreen QR code to link your smartphone as a controller. From there, the real-world movements on your phone track with Ava’s hands in the game, allowing you to guide her flashlight through the shadows.

The immersion goes a step further with the game’s audio. When Ava receives a call or text, your actual phone rings, vibrates, and plays the audio directly through its speaker, while the rest of the environmental sound effects come through your TV.

If you want a pure narrative experience, Unhinged offers a Story Mode which features no timer, so it prevents you from dying and lets you just play through the story. In Standard Mode, you must exercise your reflexes. During high-stakes moments, a shrinking timer bar at the top of the screen forces you to quickly scan the room for an interactive object.

If you can’t find what you need before the time runs out, you will die.
