Summary
Dead by Daylighthas announced the return of a fan-favorite game mode modifier, Lights Out. The return of the game mode brings a few new changes to theDead by Daylightmodifier, along with aCastlevania-inspired theme and collection.
Dead by Daylighthas added a variety of game modes for players to enjoy since the title was initially released in 2016.Lights Out was the first modifier that was added toDead by Daylight, with the haunting addition plunging the game into almost total darkness. The game modifier also removes the survivor’s scratch marks and the killer’s terror radius and cuts out a majority of the game’s UI elements. The mode was well received by fans ofDead by Daylightand is now making a return to the game.
TheLights Out game mode is currently available inDead by Daylightand maintains many of the same mechanics as its prior appearance. This iteration of the Lights Out modifier still throws the entire world into darkness, but the developers have added some new updates and mechanics to improve the game mode. Survivors now start with a new item, the lantern, which increases visibility, reveals nearby generators, and displays actions on the HUD. Alongside this, six maps are now available in the map pool as opposed to the original four that were playable in the first version of Lights Out.
Some additional changes have also been added to thisversion of Lights Out inDead by Daylight. Chests now guarantee rare or better items for survivors, and survivors now drop their carried items when they are hit. Alongside that, generators now have faster repair speeds in addition to starting with 5% progress already completed. Survivors also have increased endurance after getting unhooked, giving them more time before they can be downed by the killer again. These changes aim to make the game mode more enjoyable and accessible.
The addition of this game mode toDead by Daylightalso comes with aCastlevaniacollectionand exclusive rewards. This collection includes two new outfits for Mikaela Reid and Kate Denson inspired by Sypha Belnades and Maria Renard from theCastlevaniaseries.
