As spotted by VG247, the actual event will take place on August 3 at 1:30PM EST. Dead by Daylight fans can tune in to the event via the studio’s official YouTube or Twitch channels. Exactly what will be revealed during the showcase cannot be said at this stage, but a hint on Twitter suggests it has something to do with the W in Resident Evil: Project W, though it’s possible it could stand for Wesker. At the very least, it sounds like the next major update for DbD will be discussed during next week’s showcase.

Behaviour Interactive seems only too keen to have special events, which often treat fans or drop hints to upcoming content. Recently, Dead by Daylight had its Double XP Weekend, which helped players earn Iridescent Shards, one of the game’s currencies. Not to mention the fact that the developer is consistently rolling out patches, which implement a lot of new ideas and also add to its roster of killers and survivors.

Just a few days ago, Dead by Daylight received its Tome 12 update. For those who are perhaps less familiar with the game, Tomes add new challenges to the game. In this case, one such challenge is for the killer to damage six generators on a particular stage. The update also featured five maze tiles for the McMillan Estate map and also rolled out a bunch of bug fixes, tweaks, and quality-of-life improvements.

All this love and attention given to Dead by Daylight by the developer means that the game is still as popular now as it was when it released in 2016. It’s certainly a horror game with a lot of replay value, and it’s become a huge hit among the streaming community. No doubt many fans will be tuning in to the showcase on August 3. It will be exciting to see what the developer has planned for the game and what it’s looking to do next.

Dead by Daylight is available now on Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
