Dead by Daylight’s new update remasters many of the game’s maps

Dead by Daylight is getting ready for the newest generation of consoles, and developer Behaviour Interactive is reworking a significant amount of the game with its “Realm Beyond” update. The update brings with it big visual changes to 21 maps, 12 objects that populate the maps (like totems), and a host of smaller changes to character animations and visual effects.

According to Mathieu Côté, game director for Dead by Daylight, Realm Beyond is a landmark. Behaviour is “halfway done with the graphical update process,” and the entire project will last until the middle of 2021, Côté said, although he was unable to pinpoint a specific release window. The new maps will continue to receive tweaks and changes as players play through matches and give feedback to Behaviour. The developer has already adjusted the lighting to keep things from getting too dark, and are ready to change the levels further for balance changes or bug fixes.

Killers like the Clown and the Nurse have already been visually updated, and those changes will continue. “We’re prioritizing the oldest models for the visual rework. Some of them were done in a completely different style of texture — we call it painterly, so they were more of a cartoony quality than realistic,” says Côté. “We’re making sure that you can recognize the silhouette and what makes the character stand out.”
