Dead by Daylight

Client : Behaviour / 05.2026
Menhir FX had the pleasure of working on a trailer for such an iconic game, Dead by Daylight, on the occasion of its 10th anniversary. Behaviour Interactive asked us to build a trailer about the main threat of the game: The Entity! The idea was to create a heavy atmosphere that grows deeper and deeper: One Entity. Loud. Strong. Dominant. Unavoidable.

The project

Dead by Daylight 10th anniversary!

We wanted the viewer to identify with the character and feel that same sense of helplessness, somewhere between a nightmare and reality.

To carry that feeling, we built everything from scratch. Several scripts were written in order to find the one that best described the sensations evoked by the Entity. We create diverse poses for each illustration so that we can animate them in a 3D world, creating depth and making the whole experience more immersive.

And then, to strengthen all of this, a voice over that intensifies as the trailer moves foward. The dead-end feeling increases. All of this contributes to make the universe even more unsettling. The script of this VO was written in close collaboration with Behaviour Interactive and recorded by their team.
