Project T was the codename assigned to an upcoming title from Dead by Daylight studio Behaviour Interactive. Project T was only being published by Behaviour and was in development by Midwinter Entertainment. The game was going to be a 1-4 player PvE co-op title set in the Dead by Daylight universe. Today, Behaviour Interactive passed along word that Project T has been cancelled.
The announcement was first made through an email sent to those that signed up for the Project T Insider Program. This program was created as a way to get players the community involved in the development process of Project T from a fairly early stage.
The email sent to Insiders say that the decision to cancel Project T came after Behaviour Interactive conducted a "deep analysis" of the feedback received from early playtests. They say that the results of that analysis "yielded unsatisfactory overall results."
The full email can be seen below.
Dear Project T Insiders,
When we conceptualized this project, we wanted to have players involved in it as early as possible, which led to the creation of this Insider Program. This approach has allowed us to get very early validation on Project T’s core design and gameplay, which is something that often comes much further into the production of a game. Following the playtest in July, we ran a thorough internal risk assessment from a product and commercial perspective. While a number of you expressed appreciation for what you played, unfortunately, the outcome of this deep analysis yielded unsatisfactory overall results.
It’s with a heavy heart that we announce that Project T has been canceled. We want to thank you for your support throughout this journey.
