Every season brings with it a new competitor to the Apex Games, and the upcoming third season is no different. Crypto will be making his entrance, and, though not much is known in regards to his in-game abilities, Respawn did release an animated short giving a glimpse into Crypto's life before his evolut

On the issue of cross play, Côté was clear in the matter, "It’s untrue that there are no plans for cross play, we are looking at it. For us, the one thing that allows us to keep the game alive is a player base, there is a critical mass for the matchmaking to work, purely for that, anything above that is good, and the more we can bring people together through cross play or any other way, the better it’s going to be for everyone’s experience. It’s obviously something we are looking at very close

As Dead by Daylight is strictly an online, multiplayer PS5 game strategy, it lives or dies by the size of its player base. In a recent announcement post leading up to the release of the game on the Nintendo Switch, the possibility of cross play was raised but addressed as not being planned between platfo

Character balancing is extremely difficult, and it’s really only possible to get it right after significant feedback. For example, when Respawn looked at gameplay data from the first few months of the game, it became clear that Caustic and Gibraltar were being underutilized. And, it was also apparent that Wraith, Lifeline and Pathfinder were either over-utilized or had a higher proportion of kills and wins than other characters. So, Respawn introduced its fortified damage reduction buff and its Low Profile damage increase nerf for these respective groups of charact

Based on the short clip we have seen so far, some incarnation of an Oni appears to be in development, which is a type of yōkai, ogre, or troll in Japanese folklore. These are often large and imposing figures with horns growing from their heads, and typically conceived as red, blue, or green. However, the Oni are also typically represented as wielding clubs, and what we saw in the first teaser on November 11 does not appear to a club, but a sword, so right now it is anyone’s guess exactly what we might

Right on track, Behavior Interactive has released the teaser for Chapter 14 of Dead by Daylight , titled "Cursed Legacy". Speculation is wild right now about who the next killer will be in the game, while no information has been released on if a survivor will also be coming, and what they might look like. We sat down with game director Mathieu Côté to discuss the future of Dead By Daylight , including challenges of creating the Nintendo Switch and mobile ports, the future roadmap, and the future of cross-p

His Defensive Bombardment ultimate also got some love, with a full minute shaved off of its cooldown time. It also saw two seconds removed from its duration, which can be a bummer, but it can also be thrown more than thirty percent further, giving it a bit more leverage and util

This is great because it offers a real incentive to risking a lengthy kill animation for fallen foes outside of bragging rights. You can safely expect to be executed a lot more often and in riskier situations, and should a lot more than tempted to do the same in k

The Anvil Receiver ups the damage for semi-automatic fire on the R301 and Flatline, giving them more utility as marksman rifles. The Double Tap Trigger, perhaps most interestingly, causes the EVA-8 and Scout to fire two round bur

Within the game's meta, with some major exceptions, there are few character abilities that can’t be replicated by some other means. For example, Gibraltar’s and Bangalore’s ultimates function similar to a supersized grenade barrage. Digital Threats give guns the same red highlights visible in Bloodhound’s ultimate ability. All characters can heal and regain shields, and Wattson and Lifeline simply have means to help players do it more quickly and efficien

The game's objective is to get wins, so it’s impossible to fault anyone for choosing to learn and play this character. The major problem is that Respawn Entertainment has developed a universe of interesting characters with unique abilities, but none of them can effectively counter a Pathfinder’s speed and height advanta

Of course, when removing the Disruptor Rounds and Skullpiercer hop-ups from play, they had to make sure to give us a couple of new toys to play with. What players get in exchange are the Anvil Receiver for the Flatline and R301, and the Double Tap Trigger for the EVA-8 and G7 Sc

The bot's actual cargo container changes colors as it floats along, from blue, to purple, and then gold or red. The color is reflective of the loot tier that is inside, so you'll need to time your shots in order to get the good stuff. Cargo Bots also have a chance to drop a Vault Key, which will open up one of the loot vaults spread around the map. We'll touch on those
