The Lights Out Modifier, which will drastically change gameplay, was made public by Dead by Daylight. Fans may expect to see more modifiers introduced in the future, but for now, Dead by Daylight will have its first of its type.
Throughout the year, Dead by Daylight publishes new updates that typically include new characters, events, or gameplay tweaks. The newest addition to Dead by Daylight will be a crossover starring Alan Wake, who will debut on January 30. Three special benefits are included with the new Survivor, which enhances flashlight performance, boosts the frequency of skill checks, and exposes cheats and generators. Nevertheless, Behaviour Interactive has more in store for the game than just Alan Wake’s entrance.
An exclusive trailer for Dead by Daylight’s Lights Out Modifier, which makes the game’s maps significantly darker, was released by ComicBook.com. This should make it considerably more difficult for players to identify one another and will likely have a big impact on how games go. Dead by Daylight did not release any further information on the new feature except a 30-second teaser, but they did guarantee that further information would be released on January 30.
What is the Lights Out Modifier for Dead by Daylight?
Dead by Daylight invited users to rank different concepts for possible new modes in a survey that was released in December. A question about the Disgustingly Scary mode—which would add thicker, deeper fog—was included in the survey. This proposal appears to have a successor in the Lights Out Modifier, and because it’s going to be included in the game shortly, Dead by Daylight may incorporate more ideas from this survey in the future. Other possible game modes included a 5v5 mode in which there is one murderer and four survivors on each team, as well as a perspective swap option in which the killers play in the third person and the survivors in the first.
It’s definitely too soon to tell how much the new feature could upset the standings of Dead by Daylight’s top killers and survivors until the Lights Out Modifier is described in more detail. Unless there are other improvements that assist balance that element, it appears that ranged murderers will be at a disadvantage.
In terms of the game’s future in 2024, fans of Dead by Daylight have a lot to be excited about. This year, the game intends to release frequent updates with modifications to the Killer, updates to the perks, enhancements to the quality of life, and more. This year, Supermassive Games’ new spin-off game, The Casting of Frank Stone, for the Dead by Daylight franchise will also be released.
