Behaviour Interactive, the studio behind the hit horror multiplayer game Dead by Daylight, is thrilled to share all of the details surrounding the upcoming Meet Your Maker open beta that will be part of Steam NextFest.
Meet Your Maker is a post-apocalyptic first-person building-and-raiding game where players design every level for players. Gameplay revolves around the creation and infiltration of stand-alone levels called Outposts. Players will switch between roles as they mastermind devious maze-like Outposts filled with traps and guards, then gear up for methodical fast-paced combat raiding other players’ creations.
As part of Steam NextFest, the Meet Your Maker beta will begin on February 6th at 6 am PST/9 am EST and last for 7 days, ending on February 13th at 11:59 pm EST. As this playtest is an open beta, any player with a Steam account can jump right in. No pre-registration is required. No NDA. No fuss. Just pure fun! Well… as much fun as one can have in a post-apocalyptic future where humanity is on the brink of extinction, that is.
Meet Your Maker’s brutal wasteland welcomed thousands of players during our Fall Closed Playtest, generating tons of amazing community insights for our team. As such, Behaviour Interactive is pleased to introduce new features and improvements to this open beta experience. Here are a few of those:
New social and progression systems: Systems around sharing Outpost and connecting players.
Champion Outpost: A curated system that puts forward Outposts that have performed well;
Social Raid: The social raid menu will allow players to search for and raid outposts set to the Social active state;
