Dead By Daylight board game announced, Kickstarter launching this month
Gamers will have a new way to play Dead By Daylight this fall.
Announced today, Level 99 Games will join forces with Behaviour Interactive for a board game based on the popular horror game. Much like the video game, the board game will find two to four players as survivors trying to escape without getting caught by the killer. A Kickstarter for the project, which can be found here, will launch on March 29.
Game designer D. Brad Talton Jr said this about the forthcoming board game:
“As fans of the original video game, we worked hard to capture the tension between the Survivors and the Killer on every turn. The moment when you commit to your move and then have to hold your breath while the Killer makes their play—to me that’s the essence of Dead by Daylight.”
Dead By Daylight game director Mathieu Côté spoke about the board game:
“I am probably the biggest board game nerd that I know and Dead by Daylight: The Board Game is just an amazing experience. Many of us, on the DbD team, are huge board game fans, so our expectations were high. When we were presented this project, we were all impressed and excited.
Level 99 have managed to perfectly adapt the Dead by Daylight experience to a board game: the Killers VS Survivors asymmetrical gameplay, the unexpected surprises, the game loops, everything is there. And with almost all original characters present, all the different perks there’s a lot to discover and love in this. I’m definitely ordering my copy, and I recommend our fans do too!”
Pre-orders for the board game will be made via the Kickstarter. Backers can expect the finished product to arrive at their doorstep by this Halloween.
