The Dead by Daylight post titled “10.2.0 | Mid-Chapter” appeared in the game's Steam announcements on Oct 6, 2026, and its notes listed a Survivor Intent System that let Survivors send and receive text messages during a match. Players could open a messages wheel with 8 predefined messages to send, mute other players during a match and switch the system off in Settings. The notes also listed changes to the conditions that offer the Abandon, Surrender and End Trial options, and a pass on the general perks that new players gain access to when they begin their journey. The notes are in that post in the Steam announcements of Dead by Daylight.1^,2^,3^,4^,5^,6^,7^,8^,9^,10^,11^,12^,13
