• Perks that offer minimal impact or are too situational can break immersion and strategy. For me, it's those that give tiny stat boosts (+1% damage, +2% XP gain) with no noticeable gameplay value. They clutter progression trees and dilute meaningful choices. A perk should feel rewarding—if it doesn’t change how you play, it’s not worth taking.

  Dead by Daylight: QoL Initiative 2025 – Updated Roadmap Summary

  What’s Happening

  • Behaviour Interactive is delaying content drops to focus on major Quality of Life (QoL) improvements across 2025.
  • Roadmap split into two phases targeting gameplay, balance, and user experience.

  Phase 1 (Apr–Jun 2025) – Live/Coming Soon

  • Surrender option: available under specific conditions for both survivors and killers.
  • Gamma slider, spawn rework, better AFK/bot detection.
  • "Go-Next" penalties, map offering balance, anti-hiding/body-blocking fixes.
  • UI upgrades: bulk BP spending, perk presets, quest system.

  Phase 2 (Jul–Dec 2025) – In Progress

  • Anti-slugging, anti-tunneling, anti-camping mechanics.
  • Map & item rebalancing, matchmaking tweaks, K&M on consoles, custom game tools.
  • Accessibility upgrades, better prestige rewards, smoother login.

  Focus is shifting from new content to game health and fairness—addressing long-standing player frustrations on both sides (killer & survivor).
