Behaviour Interactive has revealed that it’ll be opening pre-registration for a new, revamped version of Dead by Daylight for mobile. For those who don’t know, Dead by Daylight is a multiplayer asymmetrical horror game that pits four survivors against one killer, and was later brought to mobile in 2020 with the help of NetEase Games.
The mobile version of the game was released just three years ago for free, and has certainly been popular, having amassed millions of downloads ever since. That said, there’s no denying that the mobile experience of Dead by Daylight feels lacklustre to that of consoles and PC.
Having pumped a few hundred hours into the game on both PC and Nintendo Switch, my personal experience with Dead by Daylight on mobile was poor. The game doesn’t look good, is slow, and pulling off those never-ending chase sequences feels impossible, but I can’t say I didn’t expect as much. That said, the overhauled version of the mobile game is to launch on March 15, with pre-registration available now. With an overhaul, the mobile version of Dead by Daylight might feel a little more playable.
