Dead by Daylight News

Dead By Daylight developer Behaviour Interactive has revealed that a colourblind mode is currently in the works for the popular survival horror game. The feature was revealed after the studio apologised for dismissive comments made by one of its developers regarding the community's demand for it.

In a clip uploaded to Twitter, the developer states that it's "really boring just blabbing about colourblind mode all the time," and that "continuing to badger us about it isn't going to change anything." The clip was brought to the attention of Able Gamers COO Steven Spohn, who swiftly reached out to the studio for a response. "If you're tired about 'being badgered' about it, imagine how tired people are of not being able to play your game because it's inaccessible to them," he says.

The DBD team subsequently thanked Spohn for bringing the issue to its attention, stressing that "this is not indicative of the views of the team, and we deeply apologise for any frustration or harm this may have caused." It then revealed that, contrary to the dev's statement that a colourblind mode would only materialise "if somebody decides that it's something that should be done," one was already well in the works.

New year, new Dead By Daylight matchmaking rewards. Developer Behaviour Interactive has posted the first developer update of the year, outlining the fresh ranking system, graphical update, and gameplay tweaks coming to the multiplayer game.

Starting next week on the Player Test Build, players will get rated based on their performance in matchmaking. These were tested last year, and now they're effectively entering into beta, before becoming a permanent fixture. When skill based matchmaking is properly integrated, we'll have rewards, too. A certain amount of bloodpoints will be given out at the end of each month, depending on how you did, and how many matches you played.

Two different kinds of graphical upgrades are coming. The HUD has been redone from the ground up, making it cleaner and more utilitarian than ever before. A hook symbol has been added for players that have been nabbed, and portraits will appear beside player names so you can distinguish exactly who you're looking at. Accessibility options have been increased, allowing you increase and decrease the size of the HUD to your sight needs. Gideon Meat Plant and the Crotus Prenn Asylum were the next maps up for a lick of paint, and they'll be rolled out looking grimy as ever.
