Last Friday we held our largest dev stream to date and revealed all sorts of new content, features, and details about the coming year. This includes the roadmap, pictured below in case you missed it:

Roadmap.png

This Thursday, we will be holding one of our usual, small, nowhere near as glamorous live Q&A sessions on Twitch (we won't even have a live band this time). Nevertheless, if there's anything that you have questions about, feel free to ask them here. We'll collect some of the best questions and answer them live on stream.

Quick rules

  • One question per person
  • We cannot reveal new information (e.g. "Who is the killer for chapter 13?")
  • Questions only: Any posts that are not questions will be removed

    Will the cosmetics in the 'battle passes' of the archives be exclusive and only available for the 3 months, or will it behave like the archive itself that stays in the game permamently?

    Any plans to include more community created content into the game? (skins, perks, map ideas)

    With the dynamic map rework happening, is it possible to list the map "seed" at the endgame screen and/or have the option to enter it in a KYF match so that the static map can be used for KYF fun or community-based competitions?

    Will future map rework milestones also mostly focus on one specific map or is it possible that we will see several maps reworked at once?

    Are the cosmetics that will be unlockable via the rift be timed exclusives? Or will they also be able to be purchased within the in-game store at a later date? I’m really hoping for the latter.

    Can we get more info on the rift and how it will work? You guys said it can be earned through "Play time". Are you talking about shards or something else?

    When do the team normally begin the process for the next killer? And will a fan created killer ever be used?

    What is your current thoughts about the balance of Dead by Daylight? (What is your stance?)

    Can you go through other ideas you had in mind when reworking Freddy?

  • Ablutomaniac

    Will we lose all our Freddy Add-ons when the rework goes live?

    Many of us Freddy mains have gathered a boatload of add-ons for the current character, but these don't seem to apply to his new power. Will all of these disappear? or will we get some of his new add-ons in their place?

    When will we be getting the missing Ultra Rare add-ons for some killers (Nurse, Billy, LF, Doctor's 2nd one, etc.)?

    Will they change moris, the most unbalance stuff in the game? Perhaps a possibility for survivors to escape, like Overcharge.

    What are going to be the minimum requirements for the mobile version?

    Can you elaborate more on the Matchmaking changes? Like will there be an option to match based on latency, or rank? While both matter, latency is by far more important to me, but should not be exclusive. Anything over 140ms, and I leave, no matter what.

    Can you give any information on plans for Leatherface in the future?

    Even if you can just say whether you plan to simply buff him or are considering a rework.

    Thanks!

    Are there any plans to add a secondary objective? Many people in the community including myself have been asking for it for years.

    Could you add an after game bonus BP & XP balance modifier, to the side (killer or survivor) that is deficient in players? For example, when there aren’t enough killers, give killers a bonus modifier in proportion to the disparity between the number of killers playing and the number of survivors playing. The same for when there aren’t enough survivors. This might help balance out the sides.

    P.S. Adding a meter bar to the main screen showing the current status (too many killers-balanced-too many survivors), would be nice as well.
