Dead by Daylight Spin-Off Game Gets Release Date

Summary

The Casting of Frank Stone, a single-player title set in the world of Dead by Daylight, will be released on September 3, 2024.
Developed in collaboration with Supermassive Games, the narrative title will see similarities to titles like The Quarry and Until Dawn.
Pre-ordering the game will unlock rewards in both The Casting of Frank Stone and Dead by Daylight, including two million Bloodpoints in the latter.

The Casting of Frank Stone has been given an official launch date of September 3, 2024. Acting as a single player spin-off to Dead by Daylight, The Casting of Frank Stone offers fans of Dead by Daylight an insight into the world outside the Entity's realm.

Developed in collaboration with Supermassive Games, The Casting of Frank Stone will feature a single-player story that reimagines the world of Dead by Daylight in a more narrative-driven horror experience akin to other Supermassive titles such as The Quarry and Until Dawn. In the quiet town of Cedar Hills, players will follow a cast of original characters as they attempt to make their mark on horror cinema amid the backdrop of the 1980s. What they capture on film instead sets them on a collision course with powers far beyond their comprehension, and it falls to the player to guide the group of young filmmakers through a series of difficult decisions.

As revealed in the most recent "Murder Mill" trailer, The Casting of Frank Stone is set to launch on September 3, 2024 for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. Fans can pre-order the game now, earning rewards both in-game and for Dead by Daylight. By pre-ordering the game, players can unlock the Plunderer's Instinct feature help locate hidden collectibles throughout the game. If players also own Dead by Daylight, purchasing the game will also give them access to two million Bloodpoints and The Casting of Frank Stone cosmetics for survivors. A Behaviour account is required to confirm the rewards, and the Dead by Daylight rewards will only be redeemable starting on September 3.

The Casting of Frank Stone Release Date

September 3, 2024

This release date confirms a leak that came from the DBDLeaks subreddit last month, stating that The Casting of Frank Stone would launch on September 3, a full month before the official announcement. This will be the first time the world of Dead by Daylight has extended beyond the title's realm in an interactive way, giving fans an insight into how the real world is affected by the Entity, and allowing them to try to combat the evil. The Entity itself can be seen at the end of the most recent trailer, confirming that the young filmmakers are dealing with something familiar to players of Dead by Daylight.

Supermassive Games is no stranger to narrative-driven horror games, but the unique setting of the Dead by Daylight world gives The Casting of Frank Stone a unique approach to this formula. Some players will be making decisions and changes in a world that they are already familiar with, and the crossover with Dead by Daylight will allow The Casting of Frank Stone to offer unique experiences unseen in other Supermassive Games titles.
