Like the fans, we were curious whether Behaviour Interactive would be interested in another analog horror venture. When asked about plans, Dave Richard gave an encouraging response, even if he did not directly confirm plans.

For the unfamiliar, analog horror is characterized by unsettling filmings of horror events, creating an unmatched sense of dread and mystery.
Behaviour Interactive’s first venture into the genre has resulted in The Unknown, a killer the team found disgusting and terrifying, as described by the Creative Director.
The team has now gained a better grasp of this sub-genre after this chapter, and a possible return could lead to a more refined take on analog horror.
Dead by Daylight’s successful take on this sub-genre has motivated the team. A return to analog horror could lead to more disturbing killers, harrowing maps, and new lore elements that further expand this universe.
