The Casting of Frank Stone Introduces Several Unique Features to Supermassive Games

The Dead by Daylight universe is set to sprout a new branch with the release of an upcoming spin-off game developed by Supermassive Games set to release September 3rd. The Casting of Frank Stone promises to deliver a new type of experience to Dead by Daylight fans by combining the dark depravity of Behaviour Interactive’s asymmetrical multiplayer horror survival game with the narrative storytelling expertise of Supermassive, providing a deeper and darker insight into the franchise’s twisted lore. A new style of gameplay isn’t the only thing new about The Casting of Frank Stone – there are a few exciting features in the game that haven’t been seen in a Supermassive Games release before now. 

As was revealed in a new features trailer showcased during the Xbox Gamescom Broadcast today, the single-player spin-off will include multiple new features that have never been experienced in a Supermassive title, such as the Cutting Room Floor, couch co-op, and more, giving players an additional gimpse of what players can expect of the upcoming game.

ComicBook was recently invited to experience The Casting of Frank Stone‘s prologue in a hands-on preview ahead of the game’s release, and while it was already a game that I was looking forward to the preview only made my excitement increase tenfold – as well as my heartrate, which you can read about in the full coverage.
