Dead by Daylight dev says it feels "unstoppable," but knows change is needed

With the release of Chapter 37, Dead by Daylight has just introduced one of its most gruesome and intriguing Killers to date - The Krasue - alongside a brand new Survivor, too. However, as its roster of original and crossover characters continues to swell, DBD has started to show signs of strain, with Behaviour Interactive recently delaying its next licensed chapter to focus on improving the core experience and fixing a growing list of bugs and balance concerns.
