Another new artbook can now be previewed on The Artbook Collector YouTube channel, this time with a look at the online horror hit, Dead by Daylight. The game has just turned 10 years old, and player can celebrate that with the new book, The Art & Lore of Dead by Daylight!
The 192-page hardcover was published on August 25th, 2026 by publisher Titan Books, made in partnership with the game's developer Behaviour Interactive. The deep dive into the development and artwork of their original content is perfect for players old and new, sharing the survival horror's ongoing evolution. Check out a preview of the book below.
Inside is a look at the early artwork and some unused designs for the environments, Killers, Survivors, weapons, and more, offering a visual history of the game from its release in 2018, to 2025. It shares sketches, colour concepts, and illustrations, making it a varied and interesting look at the game. Alongside this, The Art & Lore of Dead by Daylight also features the written development history and its evolution, told through author Paul Davie's writing and the interviews he had with the creative leads, making it the perfect read after surviving the Entity.
In my review of the book I highlighted it as one of my favourite releases of the year so far. Its superb artwork, deep insights, and page design that keeps it interesting while packing so much in, makes it easy to recommend. Players of the game will find a lot to love inside and would find it a welcome addition to their collection. You can read my review in full here - Book Review - The Art & Lore of Dead by Daylight.
Before the release of The Art & Lore of Dead by Daylight, I interviewed the author Paul Davies, who shared what it was like working on the book and what the role of an author entails in the artbook world. We don't often hear from the minds behind the books themselves, so it was great to learn more. Check it out here - Interview: Author Paul Davies on Artbooks and 'The Art & Lore of Dead by Daylight'.
