An undisclosed number of people have been let go at Behaviour Interactive, according to a report from Chris Kerr, senior editor at Game Developer. The studio is best known for its horror game Dead by Daylight.
According to a company spokesperson, the decision was blamed on a decline in mobile and casual external development projects. The news is coming roughly one month after Behaviour Interactive acquired The Fun Pimps, the developer behind 7 Days to Die.

“A portion of Behaviour Interactive’s business has traditionally focused on external development partnerships,” read a message from the company’s spokesperson. “In recent months, demand for mobile and casual external development projects has declined.”
“As we conclude our remaining engagements and do not foresee comparable opportunities in the near term, we have made the decision to part ways with some colleagues. Those decisions are never easy, and we are grateful for the contributions of the affected employees, who have helped shape Behaviour and support our partners over the years.”
About a week ago, the company’s Director of Player Support posted that they were open roles for “a talented Player Support Agent” for someone resident in the Montreal area, who is passionate about supporting really cool games”.
