Dead By Daylight Stalking its Way onto Consoles
I don’t think anyone will really be surprised by this news, but the multiplayer horror game Dead by Daylight will finally be released on consoles later this year, although a specific release date has yet to be announced. This was confirmed via a press release on publisher Starbreeze Studios’ website, which you can read in its entirety below.
Dead by Daylight was released on Steam back in June and went on to be both a critical and financial hit, with sales now exceeding 1.8 million. It proved to be so popular among horror gamers that Starbreeze were later given the license to officially include Halloween’s Michael Myers as a downloadable character. It’s won’t be too long before console owners can finally get in on some of the action.
From the Press Release:
Starbreeze AB and Behaviour Digital have agreed to bring asymmetrical multiplayer horror game Dead by Daylight to PlayStation®4 and Xbox One in digital format later this year. Released on PC in June 2016, Dead by Daylight has already sold more than 1.8 million copies on the digital distribution platform Steam and became an instant favourite with streamers on Twitch and other streaming platforms.
“We’re proud of Behaviour Digital’s success with Dead by Daylight and can’t wait to deliver it to consoles together.” said Mikael Nermark, Starbreeze CoO.
”Being able to share Dead by Daylight with console players, many of them counted among our loyal viewers, is very exciting” said Stephen Mulroney, Senior Vice President at Behaviour Digital.
Release date and pricing will be released at a later date.
Development costs relative to the console adjustments will be split equally between the companies and the revenue share model will follow the previous agreement in place between the parties.
