So, bad news for those who were counting down the days to the next Dead by Daylight chapter—it’s not landing as soon as we thought. The devs admitted in their latest video update that the game’s been wrestling with technical problems, and instead of rushing things out half-baked, they’re holding the chapter back until January.
Here’s the new plan: testing for the chapter is now set for September, while November will bring a chunky update packed with bug fixes and gameplay tweaks. Think of it as a “repair patch” before the big new content finally arrives.
The studio says this shake-up is all about giving players a smoother ride and showing they’re serious about listening to feedback. Honestly, that sounds fair—most of us have been burned by buggy launches before, and it’s no fun when you spend more time fighting glitches than killers.
Oh, and don’t forget: there will also be special in-game codes dropping along with the update, which is always a nice little bonus.
Sure, it stings to wait a couple extra months, but maybe it’s better this way. A more polished game means fewer headaches for everyone.
What’s your take? Is this delay a smart move or just another letdown? Let’s break it down together in the comments.
