Behaviour Potentially Teasing New Killer For ‘Dead by Daylight’ in “Found Footage” Video? [Watch]
With Alan Wake already running around in Dead by Daylight, and the time-limited “Lights Out” event wrapping up earlier this week, Behaviour Interactive are already cooking up hype for what’s next. The developer has released a new teaser video in a “found footage” format that appears to tease a potential new Killer for Dead by Daylight.
Behaviour Interactive took to X earlier today and posted the following video, which echoes one of the more notable scenes from The Blair Witch Project, with the character whispering that someone is pacing around their tent. A cut in the footage then shows the flap being slowly unzipped before whatever it is outside of the tent rushes through and attacks the person. We get a few glimpses of whatever it is that’s attacking the occupant, but it’s frustratingly distorted.
Needless to say, this looks to be an original Killer for Dead by Daylight, and not a crossover from another franchise. As for when we’ll be getting more info on this Killer, we’ll sadly have to wait. However, Behaviour did tease the upcoming in-game event for March with a different image last week, but there’s a chance that the two are related.
Dead by Daylight, as well as Tome 18: Revision, which includes Alan Wake, is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store and the Windows Store.

Bloody Body Horror Revealed in ‘Stellar Blade: Blood Rain’, Currently in Development [Trailer]
Shift Up has shifted things dramatically from 2024’s action-adventure game Stellar Blade, offering up a body horror bonanza in the newly announced sequel, Stellar Blade: Blood Rain. The sequel is currently early in development, but if the trailer is any indication, players will be in for plenty of body horror.
Continuing the story from the original Stellar Blade, Blood Rain will star a new protagonist named Eve. Earth has been abandoned, and what is left of humanity has fled to a Colony in outer space.
Shift Up had mentioned during a Q&A following its latest earnings presentation last month that development on Blood Rain (which was still unannounced at the time) was progressing smoothly, and was on track to meet their targeted quality standards.
Shift Up stated that with this new title it would be transitioning to a first-party service model, effectively moving away from the restrictions the game experienced with original publisher Sony, which had the game under an exclusivity agreement for the PlayStation 5. “This will allow us to lead marketing strategies that fully reflect the distinctive identity of the Stellar Blade IP, and we expect to communicate the unique appeal of its universe to players more directly and effectively.”
Whether this means that Xbox Players will finally be able to play the original game (or its sequel) is still not clear. Meanwhile, Stellar Blade is reportedly being ported to the Nintendo Switch 2, but no official confirmation has been made.
