Meet Your Maker Announces Open Beta

Popular Dead by Daylight developer Behaviour Interactive has announced an open beta for upcoming post apocalyptic title Meet Your Maker. The multiplayer title, Meet Your Maker, will see players raid outposts, set traps, and scavenge for materials on a dying Earth.

The studio behind the game is most famous for the asymmetrical survival horror title Dead by Daylight. Originally released in 2016, Dead by Daylight recently revealed new content in its year 7 roadmap, showing that the studio is more than capable of providing a well-loved online experience.

Originally announced at the 2022 Game Awards, Behaviour Interactive has Meet Your Maker scheduled to release on April 4, 2023. For players that cannot wait that long, Behaviour has also just announced that an open beta will be available from February 6 to February 13 on Steam. The announcement trailer shows off the game’s base building mechanics alongside some of the dystopian character designs and deadly traps. The game intends to allow players to engage on their own terms, building everything from the ground up, and then deciding how to play in that world.

Inviting players to join forces with or challenge their friends, the trailer promises the kind of replayability that can be expected of the Dead by Daylight studio. With every level to be designed by players, the game has a kind of Doom meets Fortnite theme to it. While Fortnite has released Dead Space content, nothing in the Epic Games title looks quite as brutal as Meet Your Maker.

Behaviour Interactive has been busy, with the announcement of Silent Hill Ascension, alongside its continued work on Dead by Daylight and Meet Your Maker. It’s very impressive for a studio that is famous for abolishing “crunch time” from the workplace and has even been designated as one of Canada’s best workplaces.

Meanwhile, studios such as Blizzard have been facing potential crunch to meet release windows for their games. While crunch time has been an issue across a plethora of studios in the industry, it’s good to see that studios such as Behaviour Interactive can take the lead in its specific genre without the need to overwork its staff.
