Dead By Daylight is getting a new HUD, animations, matchmaking, and more

The January developer update for Dead By Daylight is a hefty one, though I doubt it’ll be enough to satisfy the kind of Dead By Daylight players with 1,000 hours logged and a negative review on Steam. Among its most significant changes are a revamped HUD, which shows character portraits as well as a hook counter next to player names. The killer can also see hook progress as well, and the whole UI is scalable.

Matchmaking ratings will return “in the near future” after having been tested in 2020, and skill-based matchmaking will be tested again. Once that system’s been finalized, ranks will no longer be used for matchmaking and will instead become part of a new reward system: “Each month, everyone will be given Bloodpoints based on the highest rank they’ve reached and then be reset to rank 20.”
