Survivor David King revealed as gay.
Dead by Daylighthas revealed its first openly LGBT+ character.
The asymmetrical horror multiplayer game isincredibly popular with the LGBT+ community.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting an openly LGBT+ character in the game to reflect them.
That’s why an existing character was chosen, rather than creating someone new.
Behaviour has consulted with LGBT+ organisation GaymerX to choose the right character and ensure the representation is appropriate.
Some may be sceptical, however.
So it was a great fit to tell an amazing story," says Richard.
“It’s definitely not over,” he continues.
And so it’s something that we plan to come back to in meaningful ways in the future."
The character that we love is still there."
The team has therefore balanced telling a story while maintaining the horror roots of the game.
It’s a love story, but it’s still tragic.
“The struggle is definitely part of it,” says Richard.
“We wanted to focus on something that’s relatable for everybody.
And that’s a love story.
And also in the flavours of Dead by Daylight, it’s also quite tragic.”
Devotion, the new Tome, will be available to play from 28th April.
