Dead by Daylight Adds 2027 Mod Support and Visual Overhaul as Scooby-Doo Joins 10th Anniversary Plans

Summary

  • Behaviour Interactive said Dead by Daylight will get official mod support in 2027, letting players create content such as custom maps and modes as the game enters its 11th year.
  • The anniversary reveal also outlined a visual refresh with dynamic weather, aimed at modernizing the horror title’s aging look rather than just adding another seasonal update.
  • Later this month, The Life Road chapter arrives, followed by original chapter Chorus of Sin in August, while Terrifier’s Art the Clown is scheduled for November and a liminal-spaces map for December or later.
  • Licensed content remains a major pillar: Friday the 13th’s Jason is coming, and cosmetic collaborations will include Scooby-Doo, Silent Hill, The Walking Dead, Diablo 4, Ice Nine Kills and Iron Maiden.
  • The roadmap stretches into early 2027 with an in-universe crossover tied to The Casting of Frank Stone, alongside recurring events and seasonal rifts.
