Single-player Dead by Daylight game revealed as The Casting of Frank Stone
Behavior Interactive has unveiled The Casting of Frank Stone, a single-player narrative game set in the gruesome world of the multiplayer horror game Dead By Daylight.
Supermassive Games, the creators behind the iconic Until Dawn and The Dark Pictures Anthology, are developing this heart-pounding narrative game. Their previous games have showcased the studio’s craft in curating unforgettable cinematic horror that makes you feel like you’re in the action. And now, they want to bring their craft to Dead by Daylight’s Entity, Survivors and Killers.
However, it’s important to note that this is an entirely unique and different tale. As far as we know, everyone in this game will be unique from the asymmetrical multiplayer — so don’t expect to see favourite characters like Dwight Fairfield or The Huntress.
The Casting of Frank Stone isn’t the first time that Behaviour Interactive has branched out to other genres for Dead by Daylight. “We’re always looking at ways to offer different experiences to the Dead by Daylight community,” states Mathieu Côté, Head of Partnerships at Behaviour Interactive. “Our players have been interested in a single-player narrative experience for quite some time, and we’re excited to expand the Dead by Daylight universe and explore new territory with Supermassive Games, a studio that is at the forefront of modern video game storytelling.”
In The Casting of Frank Stone, players must uncover a mystery of cosmic proportions. A murderous and fearsome killer, the shadow of Frank Stone looms over Cedar Hills, a town forever altered by his violent past. How altered remains to be seen, but as a group of young friends are about to discover, Stone’s legacy is not something they can walk away from and has left its fair share of scars. Not just on people but on the fabric of reality itself.
“Crafting unique, immersive stories is what we’re passionate about at Supermassive Games,” says Creative Director Steve Goss. “We’re massive horror fans and are incredibly excited for the opportunity to tell a completely original story set in the terrifying universe of Dead by Daylight. Expect emotional, tense moments and twists and turns as you get to know a new cast of characters outside of The Entity’s Realm.”
The Casting of Frank Stone will be available for PC, Xbox Series X/S, and PS5 sometime in 2024.
