Dead by Daylight dev is hiring for people with generative AI experience

September 18, 2025 - Responding to a request for comment, Behaviour Interactive tells PCGamesN: "We have a very firm policy that prevents the inclusion of anything generated by AI in Dead by Daylight or any other game we're working on, including marketing assets. Yes, Behaviour is exploring the use of generative AI tools to improve internal workflows; not for anything that ships in our games. Our policy isn't changing, and these job offerings are not for roles on any game team."


Dead by Daylight developer Behaviour Interactive has raised some eyebrows among its player base with job listings that seek to hire programmers and artists who have "experience with generative AI." Gen-AI tools have been a hot-button topic in the game industry since their inception, raising questions around their use to replace human development work. Many players oppose games that employ generative AI in their development, standing in favor of hand-crafted art and animation. Naturally, then, these new listings, where Behaviour talks about "pushing the boundaries of what's possible with Generative AI and real-time graphics," have proved cause for concern.

Dead by Daylight's new killer "pops like a blister," and I hate it

It's always an exciting time of year when Dead by Daylight adds a new killer. While it's great to see familiar faces from pop culture have a turn at chasing players through grimy corridors and abandoned sheds, I prefer the original chapters where we see creatures of folklore take centre stage. It's no different in Sinister Grace, where the devs at Behaviour Interactive have cooked up a sinister baddie based on Thai mythology. This mysterious floating head could be the game's creepiest killer yet.
