    TV Show

    Dating Simulator might be fun, but it pretty much just for the laughs. In case of DbD I'm more interested in lore, than repetitive memes.

    TV show, if written well, might be a very interesting thing to watch. I don't think Dead by Daylight world fits for a standalone movie - it needs A LOT of worldbuilding to give it justice (instead of making yet another slasher spoof), which only TV series can achieve well enough (unless you are LotR or Dune, but those aren't even horror and aren't as complicated on paper). I also wouldn't mind some physical literature pieces, actual books might go well in hand with game's Tomes. Graphic novel cycle sounds like a neat idea, actually.

    TV Show

    A show where every episode is one trial - with flashbacks to previous lives on earth and maybe before/after the trial some scene at the campfire.

    every episode would feature another killer and another group of survivors, but they can reoccur in later episodes in different matchups/combinations. Maybe even a licensed episode with the corresponding killer/survivor only featured in that episode.


    this could focus on the stuff happening in trials that can’t be portrayed in the game itself, think more like the original launch trailer, but fleshed out.

    DbD would work as an anthology series where each episode was basically the story of a different killer or survivor loosely linked by being sucked into the entity at some point. (Of course if something like this ever happened it would be only the original characters, it's hard to picture the licensed ones being in a DbD TV show.)

    ⬜️ Fighting Game

    Fighting games are probably my favorite game genre at this point and I can see a lot of potential in putting the characters from DBD into this form. Heck, maybe even have this cannon, it was something the Entity did in experimenting with maximum hope farming (like I think it's canon the first few trials had no gens and it was just the survivors doomed to die, but then the Entity added gens and the survivors had the hope of escape. Kind of like that, the Entity saw David fighting and wondered if that was hope efficient).


    Anyways, having them in a fighting game is a great way to preserve these characters when eventually the servers die (you have a box copy of DBD, that's dead as there's no servers; DBD Fighting Game, can be played solo without internet and you're able to see Ace in all his glory), and personally one of my favorite things about DBD is it's monumental amount of customization and I think a fighting game can do that well (for example, if this was a 3v3 fighting game you already have nearly hundreds of team combinations with stuff like Ace, Feng, Meg; Ace, Trapper, Hag; Ace, Yun-Jin, Trickster; etc.).

    I mean, we already have Stranger Things so it's completely possible

    and I can think of a few good non-horror TV licenses as well!

    Dating Simulator sounds hilarious, though.

    But the TV series basically can write itself.

    Animated TV show.

    I feel like live action would be difficult to do the game justice with.
