“END TRANSMISSION” Chapter Available Now for ‘Dead by Daylight’ [Trailer]
After Harrison’s heads up a few weeks back, Behaviour Interactive’s latest DLC for Dead by Daylight is out today in “END TRANSMISSION”. The Chapter 28 DLC introduces sci-fi horror to the asymmetrical horror game, complete with a new Killer, new Survivor, and a new map.
The new Map, Toba Landing, is composed of three areas. The first features buildings left from a greedy corporation named Huxlee whose goal was to explore and exploit new worlds. The second, an ominous jungle and the third, some remnants of an ancient civilization. Navigating this unknown world will prove as much of a challenge as evading the Killer.
Speaking of the Killer, The Singularity is an enlightened AI corrupted by alien technology that can spy on Survivors anywhere on the map. It’s an efficient killing machine of high intellect, able to spread its presence through restructured organic matter with the help of its BioPods. Placeable on vertical surfaces, The Singularity can transfer its consciousness to the BioPods to spy on Survivors and attempt to Slipstream them to reform itself at their location. The Slipstream effect causes The Singularity to be able to materialize behind a Survivor, and immediately begin chase. A fully Slipstreamed Survivor will spread the effect to other nearby Survivors.
Joining The Singularity is Gabriel Soma, a skilled technician, responsible for taking care of the ships’ lifepods and the people within, as well as the Huxlee hub on Toba Landing. In addition to his advanced dexterity and problem-solving ability, Gabriel can also use EMP, which will be randomly located around a Map when facing The Singularity. The EMP can be used to temporarily disable the Killer’s BioPods or remove the Slipstream effect from other Survivors.
END TRANSMISSION also brings with it two Outfits for The Singularity and Gabriel Soma. The Singularity’s Huxlee Hybrid Cosmetic showcases more robotic matter assimilated into its body, while Gabriel Soma’s E.V.A. Suit Cosmetic decks him in protective gear fit for a Toba Landing rescue mission. There will also be new Collections following END TRANSMISSION’s launch, ranging from new Waterfront Massacre Cosmetics, Twisted Masquerade Cosmetics and a daring futuristic collection.
Dead by Daylight: END TRANSMISSION is available today on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, the Windows Store and the Nintendo Switch. And keep an eye out next month for you-know-who.

‘Happy’s Humble Burger Cult’ Opens for Business Today on Steam [Trailer]
Previously known as “Happy’s Humble BURGATORY”, tinyBuild and developer Scythe Studios’ co-op horror cooking game Happy’s Humble Burger Cult is out today on Steam. And for added incentive, you can grab the game with a limited-time 20% launch discount from now until July 23.
Players in Happy’s Humble Burger Cult will once again return to the grill, and the potential nightmare that follows. You and your crew are hired to participate in an experiment run by the Paragon Corporation. It sounds like a standard fast-food gig: grill burgers, fry sides, pour drinks, work the register, hit your quota, and keep the customers happy.
However, every shift is a ticking clock – the kitchen always wins eventually. Once the simulation collapses, Asset Joy breaks containment and begins her hunt. The iconic mascot is back for blood – and you have only one chance to escape!
Making things even more interesting is the fact that the game reacts to what you say on the mic. Speak the wrong word, and Asset Joy will hear you. Speak the right incantation, and the kitchen warps. Learn how to use incantations to your advantage, and what to never say aloud if you don’t want to anger the beast.
No two shifts are the same. Happy’s Humble Burger Cult features 35+ modifiers to ensure each run goes off the rails in a unique way. Rush Hour brings additional customers for a more profitable yet more chaotic shift. Profanity Policy punishes the team every time someone swears on the mic, while Midmaxxing messes up the appliances’ cooking temperatures.
