Dead by Daylightput Behaviour Interactive on the map in 2016, and it has consistently supported it with frequent new content. As a result, though, it’s been Behaviour’s main focus recently outside of a recently releasedJurassic Worldmobile game. That’s why I was quite excited to see what it had in store with Behaviour Beyond, a presentation highlighting several new upcoming games from the Canadian game developer.Digital Trends got an early look at the games featured in Behaviour Beyond games and saw a diverse lineup of multiplayer games (and a dating sim) that all felt very different fromDead by Daylight. If you missed the presentation or are just curious about what Behaviour Interactive showed, this is everything featured during Behaviour Beyond.
Meet Your Maker
Meet Your Makeris the next game directly developed and published by Behaviour Interactive. It’s a unique user-generated content game where players make massive trap-and-enemy-filled bases for other players to plunder in a post-apocalyptic world. Getting through a base seems quite hard, as players will have limited weapons, tools, and abilities at their disposal to take out enemies and traps as they attempt to obtain genetic material stored within each base.
The base-building system also looks pretty robust, as players can build and customize each part of their base. During a hands-off demo, I saw one base that looked like a Viking Ship. All bases have to have a traversable path to the genetic material before it can be posted online. However, basebuilders can still make their bases quite difficult and can even view other players’ plundering attempts to see what they can change to make it more challenging.
Hooked on You: A Dead by Daylight Dating Sim
Hooked on You: A Dead by Daylight Dating Simis out soon on Steam and lets you date fourDead by Daylightcharacters: The Huntress, The Trapper, The Wrath, and The Spirit. It plays out in typical dating game sim fashion, as players romance them on Murderer’s Island, and every dialogue choice influences what they think of you. Each relationship has multiple endings, whether that’s true love or a more spiteful split.
It definitely looks like a tongue-in-cheek and inherently hilarious experience, but Behaviour Interactive Head of Partnerships Mathieu Cote told Digital Trends that developer Psyop and Behaviour Interactive still took this project seriously during development. “The biggest challenge for us was to make sure it never turned into a joke,” he said.
“It had to stand on its own as a valid visual novel. Like our friends at Psyop say, the gimmick is that there is no gimmick, and that’s how we made sure all the characters are treated with respect and that the situations are well-though out, and the choices are significant.”Hooked on You: A Dead by Daylight Dating Simlaunches soon for PC.
Flippin Misfits
One of the brand new projects revealed during Behaviour Beyond isFlippin Misfits, a four-player competitive multiplayer game where players float and fight around a space station. Players can constantly swap the gravity though, giving them a full 360 degrees of movement options at any given moment. It will launch on Steam this September.
The most intriguing announcement of the Behaviour Beyond show isProject S.This still unnamed title is a puzzle game but also an open-world fantasy game where players can explore a mystical world as they solve puzzles. Developer Lunarch Studios even promises that the game will feature cooperative multiplayer modes, though we haven’t seen them in action yet.
It’s an odd mix but also makesProject Sa grand RPG-like sense of scope and progression not normally seen within the puzzle game genre.Project Shas a 2023 release window and is only confirmed for Steam at this time.
Updates for Dead by Daylight and Jurassic World Primal Ops
Of course, while this presentation showed a lot more than justDead by Daylight, Behaviour Interactive didn’t ignore its popular games.Jurassic World Primal Opsgot a dev diary, but more importantly,Dead by Daylightis getting a new Resident Evil-themed update. Project W will be the secondResident Evil-themed chapter coming toDead by Daylight, and it will add Rebecca Chambers and Ada Wong as survivors, Albert Wesker as a killer called The Mastermind, and a reworked version of the Raccoon City Police Department map.
This update will go into testing soon and be available across PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Google Stadia when it releases.
