The Dead By Daylight Year 8 roadmap illuminates the plans for the next year, from new DLCs to major gameplay changes. It's a great way to know how to plan ahead for the next major update. Here is everything we know about the roadmap so far and what you can expect from the game over the coming months.
With the anniversary event set to go live in just a few weeks, we didn't really know what was expected later. Luckily, Chapter 28 End Transmission and the Nicolas Cage Survivor reveal have set the year off with a bang. It is sure to be a pretty big year for the game.

Finally, the team have committed to QoL and gameplay improves over the next year, like balancing maps and the meta, punishing camping, having bots take over for disconnected survivors, and some loadout changes. This is a promising roadmap that aims to deliver many of the things fans have been asking for.
So far, we know two of the chapters will be licensed, though we don't know what they are specifically.
