Dead by Daylight Shows Off New Survivor Chat Wheel

Last week, Behaviour Interactive hosted an Ask Me Anything (AMA) on Reddit, where the developers revealed several upcoming features for Dead by Daylight. One of the biggest announcements was a new communication system for Survivors, and now fans are getting their first look at an early concept for the upcoming chat wheel.

The Player Intent Wheel

Behaviour Interactive is developing the Player Intent Wheel to give Survivors more ways to communicate during a Trial. The upcoming feature lets players quickly send preset messages to their teammates, making it easier to coordinate without relying entirely on Dead by Daylight’s limited emotes.

Players will also be able to swap out messages and customize their own chat wheel. Behaviour knows that not every Survivor will want to use the system, so players can disable the feature entirely through the settings menu. The developers are also adding a mute function, allowing players to silence teammates who spam the chat wheel.

The Player Intent Wheel could especially help newer players and solo Survivors. Coordinating with random teammates can be difficult, especially when players have limited ways to communicate their plans. This new system aims to make those interactions clearer and help Survivors work together more effectively.

Behaviour Interactive will continue monitoring player feedback as development moves forward, with the Player Intent Wheel currently expected to arrive in Dead by Daylight sometime this fall.
