Dead by Daylight 4-Player Co-Op Spin-Off Canceled by Behaviour Interactive
Behaviour Interactive is canceling Project T, a four-person co-op title set in the world of Dead by Daylight.
The studio announced the news with a post on its X/Twitter today, saying that it came to the decision after hearing feedback from those who participated in its Insiders Program. Project T had begun testing with insiders earlier this year.
“Following the playtest in July, we ran through internal risk assessment from a product and commercial perspective,” Behaviour said in the statement, which you can read in full below. “While a number of players expressed appreciation for what they played, unfortunately, the outcome of this deep analysis yielded unsatisfactory overall results.”

Behaviour revealed a behind-the-scenes look at Project T back in May, but little was known about the horror action-shooter otherwise. It was to be set in a region called The Backwater, and Behaviour promised it would expand the world of Dead by Daylight with “new characters, gameplay, and settings – as well as a few familiar elements for those in the know.”
It was being developed by Midwinter Entertainment, but had never set a release window, with the FAQ on its website saying it was still “currently in the very early stages of development.” “It is not our goal to use the Insider Program to finetune a nearly complete game, but rather to create it alongside you at a stage where your feedback can matter most,” it added.
No further details were revealed regarding other projects at the studio, although Dead by Daylight continues to get new content. It added a Castlevania chapter late last month, and teased a number of other big additions during its 8th anniversary stream in May.
