DbD studio builds Sci-Fi shooter
The world of video game development is constantly evolving, and studios are always searching for the next frontier. While Behaviour Interactive has built a formidable reputation with its asymmetrical horror masterpiece, Dead by Daylight, the team is now plotting a dramatic shift, branching out into new and exciting genres.
This strategic pivot is already showing signs of life in the hiring sphere. Recently, new job listings have surfaced, signaling that Behaviour Interactive is actively seeking talent to develop a major new title, one that promises to redefine the studio’s portfolio.
The current focus is a high-stakes project: a “triple A Sci-Fi FPS” game. This ambitious endeavor is slated to be built using the powerful Unreal Engine 5, suggesting a commitment to cutting-edge graphics and expansive world-building.
What makes this project particularly compelling is its genre combination. Moving from the tense, oppressive atmosphere of horror into the expansive, futuristic realm of science fiction and first-person shooting promises a fresh experience for players already familiar with Behaviour’s design sensibilities.
Beyond this major new venture, Behaviour Interactive is demonstrating a clear penchant for speculative fiction. They are also currently developing another shooter, Exterminauts, which throws players into scenarios where small groups must battle alien creatures across distant planets.
This dual focus highlights a clear thematic direction. Whether exploring the terror of the supernatural or the sheer scale of space opera, the studio is clearly comfortable diving deep into the science fiction genre.
While details about the timeline remain under wraps, and it is unclear whether the new Sci-Fi FPS will be self-published, the movement itself speaks volumes. Behaviour Interactive is not just maintaining its legacy; it is preparing to launch into uncharted, futuristic territories, setting the stage for some truly epic gaming adventures.
