If you thought Behaviour Interactive was only focusing on new content for Dead By Daylight, think again. During the game’s 10th Anniversary Broadcast, the developers also announced that a major visual overhaul is in the works. This update is being planned to drop sometime in 2027.

So, what exactly is changing? According to the developers, the game’s character models are going to be rebuilt to look and feel far more lifelike, which means a noticeable visual upgrade to the cast.

However, the overhaul doesn’t stop there. The developers have also confirmed that new voice lines are going to be introduced with future updates. On top of that, Dead by Daylight is getting dynamic weather. The gameplay footage showcased systems such as dense fog, heavy rain, tornadoes, and other environmental effects, which means the game will feel more atmospheric than ever.

If that wasn’t enough, Behavior Interactive has also announced official modding support. Once it’s out, players will be able to create and share their own game modes, maps, and other custom experiences. This will open the doors to an entirely new level of community-created content.
