Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Swamp rework when?

I know there are other things that might have gotten priority over a swamp rework, but it was the Realm I was looking forward to to be reworked the most since it needs it the most. Pale Rose is not balanced against high mobility killers, while Grim Pantry just has 1 goal for survivors: reach the main building before you get hit.

Its a shame we got to see map variation before we got to see swamp reworked. I want it to feel like Swamp Fever from L4D2. Right now, it feels like Red Forest but it rained a bit.

It would just be nice to have an indication of when it can be expected, because I know its not been dropped, just shelved.

    It seems like half the things that get announced just get forgotten about and never happen. The amount of content in the game now that has to be maintained is getting overwhelming and it seems like BHVR has a hard time keeping up with just keeping the game running. I wish BHVR would stop announcing all these “roadmap” things because it just gets people’s hopes up when lots of those things that get announced will never happen.

    To be fair I don't recall on the roadmaps it saying "Map Reworks" however, bhvr has discussed various times about reworking specific maps. Like the recent eyrie of crows and on their list is Badham, Backwater, and a few others.

    Same… but if there's a lot for the Devs to handle maybe taking the game down to rebuild it would be best

    Roadmaps werent really a thing when they announced it. But let me quote what was said when they announced The Realm Beyond:

    "In the fall of 2020, we launched The Realm Beyond in Dead by Daylight. Its goal: to revisit, retool, and rejuvenate graphical elements from every corner of the Entity’s Realm, creating the best-looking version of Dead by Daylight fans have ever seen."

    Note how they said "EVERY CORNER". Swamp is still the only corner that hasnt been rejuvenated, nor retooled.

    And yeah, I know the backwater swamps are talked about, but I want to know when. It's been 5 years since the announcement, since then we have had added variations to existing maps (which, to be fair, is just using existing tiles and putting them in a different order), Forgotten Ruins being added, reworked TWICE and recieving another map(the latter part I dont mind as it was anniversary), Greenville being added and getting 2 maps and Toba Landing being added. We lost Stranger Things and got it back. We gained Pinhead and lost him. We have had Trickster being added and fundamentally changed 6 times in the same time. We even got the Lake Mine added to Ormond.

    I would probably be more hyped about Swamp finally getting a rework than Lery's and Hawkins getting breakable walls where there are now closed doors. And thats something I begged for since Dead Dawg Saloon was added.
