The Casting of Frank Stone is an upcoming single-player game set within developer Behaviour Interactive’s Dead by Daylight universe. Co-developed by Supermassive Games, The Casting of Frank Stone is set to combine DBD’s overarching lore with Supermassive’s interactive storytelling. Last week, a post on the LeaksDBD subreddit claimed to reveal the title’s official launch plans, slating The Casting of Frank Stone with a September 3 release date.
The Casting of Frank Stone is set to adapt Dead by Daylight’s lore into an experience akin to the Dark Pictures Anthology and The Quarry. The game follows a group of survivors as they attempt to make a movie about Frank Stone, a legendary serial killer from their hometown’s past. However, the threat is very much alive, and the teens soon find themselves crossing paths with a host of threats beyond that of Frank Stone, as the Dead by Daylight universe makes its way to Cedar Hills. Where the game’s narrative will lead remains to be seen, but, should its leaked release date prove true, The Casting of Frank Stone is releasing at the perfect time for players to jump right in and find out.

, Behaviour Interactive and Supermassive Games have been relatively quiet about the game’s production and release plans.
Dead by Daylight has a massive fanbase, and now one fan seems to have revealed when the title may hit shelves. Last month, Reddit user WazzupTheGreat leaked what appears to be the official pre-order details for The Casting of Frank Stone on the LeaksDBD subreddit and mentioned a September 3, 2024, release date.
The messages on the LeaksDBD subreddit also included additional details surrounding the pre-order process for The Casting of Frank Stone. The official pre-order QR code was included in the post, as well as a clickable link, though the page to which they lead is currently offline. What’s more, the post revealed that there could be an in-game promotion within Dead by Daylight to hype up its release. While the leaked information should be taken with a grain of salt, the details contained within would bode well for The Casting of Frank Stone‘s release.
The Casting of Frank Stone’s Leaked Release Date Would Cleave It Away from Competition
A September 3 release date would put The Casting of Frank Stone at the very beginning of a crowded spooky season, making it a great choice for horror fans to get in the Halloween mood. Best of all, horror fans would have ample time to explore The Casting of Frank Stone before the season’s other tentpoles arrive. A September 3, 2024, release date would see the title launch more than two weeks before Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, over one month before the Silent Hill 2 remake, and two full months before Slitterhead.
The Casting of Frank Stone‘s release date could have a major impact on its ability to succeed as it attempts to carve out a new path for the Dead by Daylight franchise. Should its leaked release date prove true, the stage is set for the game to accomplish those goals.
