Dead by Daylight roguelite gets a surprise release, and 2 million copies are free

Behaviour Interactive has surprise released a Dead by Daylight roguelite spin-off.

Titled What the Fog, the game was revealed on Tuesday during a Dead by Daylight eighth anniversary broadcast, which is viewable below.

Two million copies of What the Fog are being given away for free to players who sign in to or create a Behaviour account. The game is also available on Steam for $4.99 / £4.29.

According to its Steam listing, “What the Fog answers the age-old question: What would happen if you and a friend were swallowed by a cursed board game? You’d get a 2-person co-op roguelite filled with magic powers, non-stop action, and lots and lots of monsters – that’s what.

“Learn to use your new abilities and work together as you run, jump, and shoot your way through swarms of enemies, collecting Bloodpoints, repairing Generators, and unlocking exit doors in this chaotic game from the world of Dead by Daylight.”

Dead by Daylight’s anniversary broadcast was also used to announce Dungeons & Dragons and Castlevania chapters for the multiplayer action horror game, plus a 2V8 game mode that pits two killers against eight survivors on a much larger map.

The Dungeons & Dragons chapter launches on June 3, while more info on the Castlevania chapter will be revealed on August 6.
