Dead By Daylight developer Behaviour Interactive recently came under fire after announcing its involvement with the Masters of Horror NFT Collection.
After an overwhelmingly negative response to the announcement, Behaviour Interactive has stated that no cryptocurrency technology is coming to Dead By Daylight.
“We hear and understand the concerns raised by our community over NFTs,” Behaviour said in a statement to ForTheWin. “Absolutely zero blockchain tech exists in Dead by Daylight. Nor will it ever. Behaviour Interactive does not sell NFTs.”
Not that’s not to say the Masters of Horror NFT Collection doesn’t involve NFTs (it’s right in the name, after all), just that blockchain tech will not be in Dead By Daylight. This NFT collection does allow people that buy into it a chance to earn the Hellraiser Chapter expansion for the game, though.
Behaviour worked with Boss Protocol over several months to adapt in-game models for use as NFTs and approved them prior to the release of Pinhead in DbD. The NFTs have a chance to grant access to the #Hellraiser chapter of DbD. pic.twitter.com/3ZZKq3uPYN

Many speculated that Dead By Daylight might get removed from Steam since Valve does not allow games with blockchain technologies on the platform. As Behaviour interactive points out, the Masters of Horror NFT Collection isn’t part of Dead By Daylight when you boot it up. Take that for what you will!
Ironically, Epic Games said blockchain technologies are welcome on its storefront, and Dead By Daylight was chatting up The Epic Games Store on Twitter a couple of weeks back. Though don’t take that as an indication of anything to come.
