Summary
Dead by Daylightrevealed the Lights Out Modifier, which will significantly alter gameplay. The unreleased Modifier will be the first of its kind withinDead by Daylight, and fans might see additional ones added in the future.
Dead by Daylightreleases new updates throughout the year that usually implement new characters, events, or gameplay adjustments.Dead by Daylight’s newest additionwill be anAlan Wakecrossover, with the titular character set to arrive on January 30. The new Survivor comes with three unique perks that improve flashlights, increase the frequency of Skill Checks, and reveal generators and chests. However, Alan Wake’s arrival isn’t all that Behaviour Interactive has planned for the game’s future.
ComicBook.com shared an exclusive clip that showcasedDead by Daylight’s Lights Out Modifier, which alters the game’s maps by making them much darker. This will presumably make it much harder for players to spot each other and will probably have a significant effect on how matches play out. Other than the 30-second teaser,Dead by Daylightdid not share any additional information on the new feature but promised that more details would be shared on January 30.
In December,Dead by Daylightissued a surveythat asked users to rate various ideas for potential new modes. One of the survey’s questions asked about the Disgustingly Scary mode, which would implement thicker and darker Fog. It seems that the Lights Out Modifier might be a successor to this idea, and seeing that it’s being added to the game soon,Dead by Daylightmight add more ideas from this survey in the future. Other potential modes included a 5v5 mode where each team consists of four Survivors and one Killer, and a Swapped Perspective mode that sees Survivors play in 1st person while Killers play in 3rd person.
Until the Lights Out Modifier is explained in greater detail, it’s probably too early to say how much the new feature could shake up the rankings ofDead by Daylight’s best Survivorsand Killers. It seems likely that ranged Killers will be at a disadvantage unless there are additional changes that help balance that aspect.
As for the game’s future in 2024,Dead by Daylightfans have plenty to look forward to. The game plans on releasing regular updates this year that include Killer changes, perk updates, quality-of-life improvements, and more. TheDead by Daylightfranchise is also releasingThe Casting of Frank Stonethis year, a new spin-off game developed by Supermassive Games.
