Project T Cancelled

I'll be honest, I kind of forgot that was a thing. I might have wishlisted it otherwise.

I'm gonna guess that Meet Your Maker is on the chopping block next unfortunately.

Considering just now I had to google what that game was and had no idea it existed, and I have played thousands of hours of DBD, I'm gonna guess you are correct.

I had no clue what it was. Don't restrict games to Steam or to any one single platform. It's 2024, there's no reason to do that.

Maybe if it was available to be wishlisted on PS, XBOX, and Switch as well, maybe there would have been more interest or even knowledge that it existed.

I hope this didn't come off disrespectful, it's just that ignoring console is not a good thing when the DBD playerbase is mainly console when combined.

Layoffs this year in the industry have been insane, and there are reports (I have no official sources, just reports) that the entire Midwinter studio has been shut down following Project T being cancelled. BHVR bought this studio back in 2022, and now if the reports are to be believed that's yet another talented group of people out of a job and because it's been officially cancelled without anything public going live (since the first tests weren't allowed to be shown publicly) they've got nothing to show for the past 2 years of work, either.

I feel so sorry for everyone involved, and disgusted at the BHVR higher ups who have allowed yet more layoffs under their watch, if true.

No, you had to apply for a chance to be apart of the playtest

EDIT: It was more of an internal thing, had to sign an NDA if you were apart of it

I'm really disappointed by this. I was really looking forward to having a cooperative Dead by Daylight game to play with my friends. I've always preferred co-op games and only play Dead by Daylight to begin with because there's nothing else like it. I was really happy they were going to make something more my style. I'm surprised they gave up on it so early, too. Just one playtest?

Now I'm sort of surprised Meet your Maker even got released. I legitimately like that game (especially after they fixed a couple of the major concerns), but one of its biggest issues is that even by the time it got put on life support it felt like it had the content of a beta, not a launched game.

The optimistic view is that Dead by Daylight won't lose any focus, but the pessimistic view is that canceling everything that isn't Dead by Daylight really isn't a good look for the company (which is already the primary takeaway I'm seeing from this news elsewhere).

Would be nice if there was at least one video of alpha / beta play or some more insight info about the game. Who knows, maybe the game actually had some potential in it. It would also satisfy the curiosity of people here who will now wonder what this Project T could had become if it was ever completed.

Probably the number of ''negative reviews'' was a bit too high for them.

They could had gone EA and got more people involved into playtesting for a more broad view on their work. Plenty of games never saw the light of the day because the so-called ''focus group'' didn't catch the feeling of the game right and devs took their opinion for too much.

Yeah.

Concord was the same as every other MOBA shooter bringing nothing new to the table and bland design.

Project T seemed like it actually could have stood out from Helldivers 2 and DRG, with a focus on vehicular travel and characters. Not to mention a Horror aesthetic, and who knows what players could do within the Entity's realm.

Indeed it did.

looks like BHVR have offered project T employees to relocate to canadian studios or a severance package if they choose. That's good, i wonder if some project T devs will be working on DBD now.
