In the game, players must make their way through an ominous fog, The Fog, in order to survive each day. In the multipluyer game, one player takes on the role of Killer and the others are Survivors; the Killer must capture each Survivor to propitiate an evil force known as the Entity, while the Survivors must avoid capture and energize the exit gates by working together to repair five generators.

Since the game’s launch in 2016, Dead by Daylight has been played by 50 million players. It is therefore not surprising that Behavior Interactive is eager to further expand their hit game as a film.

We couldn’t be more excited to partner with Jason Blum and James Wan, two giants of the horror film industry, to further expand the Dead by Daylight universe.

Blumhouse and Behavior are now starting their search for a director. It is not yet known who will play the main roles. A release date is also unknown.

We know there are so many fans of Dead by Daylight and feel it is imperative that we find someone who appreciates and loves the world as much as we do to help us bring the game to the big screen. We know our partners at Behavior and Atomic Monster will help us bring the best version of this game to life.
