Eye see you

Having brought the likes ofResident Evil’s Nemesis,Silent Hill’s Pyramid Head,Stranger Things' DemogorgonandAlien’s Xenomorphto its one-versus-many game of deadly hide-and-seek,Dead by Daylightis digging back into the vaults for its next classic killer. This time, it’s nothorror video gamesor scary movies serving as inspiration for DBD’s next chapter, but 50-year-old tabletop fantasy RPG Dungeons & Dragons.

Developers Behaviour Interactive teased an upcoming collab with the venerated pen-and-paper game - you might’ve heard of it, or at leastBaldur’s Gate 3- by dropping a clip of what appears to be aBeholder(yes, it could perhaps be a Spectator, D&D nerds, but Beholder seems likely) banging against the bars of a gloomy dungeon cell.

That’s about all we have to go on for now, with Behaviour planning to reveal more about Dead by Daylight’s next chapter and upcoming development roadmap - including gameplay improvements - duringan eight-year anniversary streamon May 14th.
