6 New Haddonfield Graphical Rework Images!!
So, go to the official DBD Website and find the section for the Halloween Chapter:
Discover Halloween, Dead by Daylight's Chapter 2. Meet this Chapter's Killer, the Shape and the Survivor, Laurie Strode. Check out DbD's Chapter 2 now!
Scroll down to the section on the Map. You'll be greeted with these images:
Honestly I think these look really, really, really good. Final picture has 2 windows upstairs open though and I'm genuinely afraid of House Of Pain ever making a return so manifesting that's a nifty little feature of concept art and nothing more.
Thoughts?

If you look closely you can notice that the front roof of the Myers house is not accessible anymore.
*begins to cry uncontrollably*
No Mommy I don't want to go into the house of pain....But Mommy the Survivors are mean to me in there I don't wanna.
*Curls into the fetal position*
Ahem now that taken care of *sniff* I do love the changes looks like DbD has gone back to it's spooky vibe.
Wow.
It looks like a place people actually live and not a bunch of blue fullbright boxes, I like it.
Yo.
That's actually fire.
The spooky vibe returns to us and what a welcome return it is.
I am glad this map kept dark style, it looks great. Probably they had not chance make it bright because licensed.
I am ready for more pain.
Can't wait for 35 breakable walls 😍
I figured the art team would do great as always but these look fantastic. Looks more realistic and still has the dark theme the way it should.
Really interested to see if there's still bullshit windows
This visually just became my favorite map holy #########.
Just in time for the "Break 55 walls / pallets / generators" """challenge""", which is what Gideon Meat Plant was made for.
That's one key key, obvs.
The art team is almost always on point, and the images look awesome. The real questions are will they make it so Balanced Landing isn't abuseable here, and will they put breaks in the 10 mile long fences/hedges.
And of course nerf the house of pain.
It needs a gameplay rework more than it needs a graphical rework but its probably the map in most need of both of them rn,
Front roof, no. Front windows, yes.
tbf it's killswitched currently because it's getting a gameplay rework

25k BP Code from new website.
Oh my God, this looks so pretty! Thank God they've got the Halloween license again c:
Maybe there's a breakable door on the other side? But that would be too logical.
I see less windows, my killer side likely
Visually -as expected- great!
now the gameplay will be something different .. hopefully an improvement as well.
i wonder if we will get more skins and possibly legendary skins as well.. also does this mean we can expect the rework in the next midchapter/ptb? It would fit their usual screenshot reveal one week before PTB..
That's not even the Myers house
They look great visually. I'm always more concerned about gameplay over graphics though. Hoping that they addressed the myriad gameplay issues on that map.
The size of the map looks different as well, old myers house was really small - you can tell by looking at the jack-o-lantern position
Also it looks like there's a new filler tile, the turned over wheelbarrow with the pallet in the last image.
At least we know they introduced the 69 cm loops, as you can see on the left side of the last picture.
Good that it is still dark.
Looks pretty, hope it doesn't cause any extra performance issues. Yards need more grass.
Myers House address is wrong. 1520 is the address to a douchebag who owns a replica Myers house in NC, USA. Nobody bothered to Google the address -facepalm-
That aside, the map and environment looks great. It's nice to have a map that's moody and dark again instead of broad daylight.
Since it is on the web now, i hope it gets released soon...
Really hope there's little nods to the original movie like a body stuck to a wall by a knife. Maybe the ghost sheet he used in a room. Just little things like that would put it to the next level.
looks a hell of a lot like the myers house im ngl
full disclosure: i have never seen any halloween film
Probably in the upcoming mid chapter.
I'm hyped, these look awesome
Yeah could be next Monday.
Woah. They really pulled all the stops for this one, huh? Bravo.
I doubt it'll become anything like that, it looks like BHVR have made the decision to make the balcony areas inaccessible on at least some houses, I imagine the Myers house may be an exception, but they may have added an opening somewhere up there too.
Visually it looks great. Dark and creepy atmosphere like the Haddonfield of the original Halloween movie. Also the Halloween geek in me has already spotted two great new visual Easter Eggs from the original movie.
First one is one of the houses is the Doyle house where Laurie was babysitting when Michael attacked her;
And the other one is obviously interior of the Myers house. You see the little toy fire truck in front of the TV set. That's from the opening scene of the movie when Mikey is 6 years old and kills his sister. He's walking through the living room after he takes a knife from the kitchen;
That always gave me the creeps when watching it because you think a few hours earlier he was probably acting like a normal kid playing with that fire truck.
Quite like the look of these
It looks so far they made The House a center of the map (which would be cool, if it's large and detailed, like The Thompson's house) and a street + a big backyard / forest around it.
I feel like that set-up was in the last newest halloween film I saw (the one with really old Laurie, idk when it came out) (actually reminds me of the house from Hush also. A single house in the middle of the woods, oh wait we already have that on mother's dwelling. Well shoot).
In short: very cool images, can't wait for it to be out
Is it balanced though?
I don't want to ruin the party, but I am pretty sure it will not look this good in the game (even on ultra settings).
These are just special renders, not screenshots from the game.
All other screenshots on the site are in-game so these are likely in-game as well. Granted, they're likely on the highest settings, but they are in-game.
Looks great. 🙂
I am pretty sure they are rendered outside the game, or if in game then they use some custom private settings that are not available for end users.
I think it’s still going to be a ######### map to play as killer, but hope I’m wrong
Will there finally be other people for once who also enjoy a map update besides me?
I love this, like, a lot.
entirely depends on how they handle the gameplay
i was gonna say "let's be honest, they cant make it worse" and then i remembered The Game exists.
But where are the tall and long fences everyone enjoyed running around? 😐️
Hopefully gone for good
The Myers House always is depicted with a pumpkin sitting outside. The house with the police car in front of it is the Myers House. You can tell because of the pumpkin.
Tyvm the only exposure to Halloween I have is through DBD and I didn't know if the Pumpkin was a mainstay
