Kill Switch update: The Mastermind has been Kill Switched due to an issue with Virulent Bound. The Mastermind will be re-enabled once this issue is fixed.

The Amanda's Letter add-on for The Pig has been Kill Switched due to an issue with incorrect RBT count.

What happened with the 'Realm Beyond' initiative?

Which maps and characters are left to do? I know the Swamp, but I'm unsure if there are others. What about the visual enhancements like Ray Tracing and "improved realistic blood," etc? And can we still expect this to continue? Thanks.

    Personally, I don't think it's ever continuing. They keep saying there's "not room in the schedule" for Swamp, but then make room. Make it a priority for whatever major update you're planning on next, just finish it. They said it was going to take around a year maybe a little longer 4.5 years ago. It should be done no excuses, it's literally the final realm.

    Sadly, given the amount of people who already run DBD on lower graphics settings for more of a "competitive advantage" and how much work it would likely take to take full advantage of UE5, I doubt we'll get much in the way of visual improvements or graphical enhancements at this point.

    Poor Myers hasn't been touched at all since 2016 and he's looking so dated

    It would make sense to continue with it after the QOL Initiative.

    Backwater Swamp is the only realm left in it's original state.

    Those on console cannot even change that graphics setting, and are locked at High I believe.
