1 April 2024 - We've updated this article to reflect Dead by Daylight's latest roadmap information.
Dead By Daylight Roadmaps, Explained
DBD developers Behavior Interactive are arguably one of the best when it comes to sharing roadmaps for their games, allowing fans to know ahead of time what sort of content they can expect and when.
Aside from the annual Year overview, which is normally fairly topline and shared during their Anniversary celebrations, the developer has also taken to sharing regular monthly or quarterly roadmaps. These semi-regular roadmaps usually provide a bit more granular detail on what live updates players should expect in the near future. From new modes to events, and even collection DLC drops. They may even drop a teaser for upcoming Chapters or Tomes.
Further down this page, you can read up on everything you need to know, from a complete overview of Year 8 (as announced during the last anniversary event) as well as the most recent news.
Dead by Daylight 2024 Roadmap Overview
As we mentioned, Dead by Daylight will sometimes provide a roadmap for the month ahead, and sometimes they give us a little bit more, with a deeper overview of the upcoming 3-6 months. Below we've tried to break everything down into dropdowns for each month in 2024, so you have the full picture. Do note, some months are combined because its unclear when these features will roll out specifically. If more news is announced, we'll update the sections!
Important Note: Everything announced by Behavior Interactive is subject to change.

Developer Comments:
"Between April and June, we’ve got more updates in the pipeline. This includes improvements to the Bloodweb, which we can’t share quite yet. Rest assured that we’ve heard your feedback regarding the Bloodweb, and we look forward to making it a more enjoyable and immersive experience. Stay tuned (tm).
We’ve also got a few more Perk updates set to drop, and while we can’t reveal many details now, we’re closely monitoring the feedback surrounding Ultimate Weapon, Adrenaline, and Decisive Strike.
Lastly, we’re coming through with a rework to The Twins, something we originally teased way back when. Well, patience is a virtue as they say, and we’re hoping to see a new and improved version of everybody’s favourite grotesque siblings come summertime. Get your Victor-kickin' shoes ready.
We know this was a long one, so if you’re still with us – thank you. Sincerely. Dead by Daylight wouldn’t be what it is without you, and we hope you’re excited for another year with us in The Fog. In the meantime, check out Dead by Daylight: Alan Wake, now available."
