From the creators of Dead by Daylight comes Meet Your Maker, Behaviour Interactive’s new spin on the building-and-raiding genre.

Set in a post-apocalyptic future, players take on the role of the Custodian, servant to the Chimera: a biological experiment, and the key to humanity’s salvation. Tasked with seeking out uncorrupted genetic material, they must defend and steal this vital resource by building and raiding deadly maze-like structures known as Outposts. Designed for strategy and action fans alike, Meet Your Maker will grow over time, adding new content and featuring an ever-expanding toolbox of traps, guards, and gear. 

Gameplay revolves around the creation and infiltration of stand-alone levels called Outposts. Players will switch between roles as they mastermind devious maze-like Outposts filled with traps and guards, then gear up for methodical fast-paced combat raiding other players’ creations.

In this dying world, players take on the role of the Custodian, servant to the Chimera: a living experiment created as a last resort to save life on Earth. They’ll enter a tactical battle for the planet’s most coveted resource and the key to the Chimera’s evolution: pure Genetic Material. But acquiring it won’t be easy. Players will need to build and fortify maze-like Outposts that extract and guard the precious GenMat, or infiltrate and outsmart other players’ creations to gather more. With every Outpost in the game built by players, user-generated content is the driving force of the experience.

Building is about creating Outposts designed to lure, outwit, and kill trespassing players. To do so, players will combine a huge array of customizable blocks, traps, and guards as they strategically create their deadly masterpiece. The innovative AI recording system allows players to pre-record custom patrol paths for their guards to surprise and swarm raiders. On the flip side, players will also need to raid the Outposts created by others. Each Outpost will test their grit, wit, and reflexes as they try to get in, grab the GenMat, and make it out alive. No two Outposts will ever be the same, making for a highly replayable experience.

As Meet Your Maker gears up for its launch on April 4th, Behaviour Interactive revealed its plans on supporting Meet Your Maker for the long-term by unveiling the first three months of the post-launch content roadmap. 

“While Meet Your Maker will launch with a full arsenal of traps, guards, weapons, Custodians, and more already included for players to discover and master, we have a strong post-launch plan that will be delivering content designed to constantly expand the players’ toolbox,” shares Ash Pannell, Creative Director of Meet Your Maker. “Keeping things fresh, ever-changing, and always unexpected is our mission when it comes to adding content toMeet Your Maker.”

Here is a first look at the first three months of content players can expect in the wasteland. 

New Deco Pack: Hellscape (Free / Instant Access)

A few weeks after launch, Meet Your Maker will inject a totally new aesthetic into the game with the addition of the Hellscape Deco Pack, a free Deco Pack update.

Combining organic matter and industrial materials to eerie effect, pulsing animations and sinister lighting will make players feel as though they’re raiding inside a living organism.

The Hellscape Deco Pack includes: 

• 2 Blocks (each available in 3 shapes)
• 2 Props 
• 1 Animated Prop
• 8 Decals 

New Mods and Augments (Free / Unlockable with playtime)

Rolling out as multiple releases over Meet Your Maker’s first several months, players will be able to unlock new Mod and Augment additions for existing traps and guards. Each new Mod or Augment will be added directly to the trap or guard Advisor station and will be unlockable via playtime using in-game currency.

Builders will suddenly gain new ways to affect their traps and guards, giving them even more control over their setups and combos to outsmart Raiders. For Raiders, just when they think they’ve gotten things figured out, they’ll face more challenges to overcome.

Major Content Update - Sector 1: Dreadshore

If you thought the world of Meet Your Maker was confined to the deserts of the Red Sands, think again. Arriving in late June 2023, Meet Your Maker will take players beyond the desert with our first major content update, Sector 1: Dreadshore.

For starters, a new environment and a new deco pack will be instantly available for free to all players as soon as the update is released. The environment introduces a new region of Meet Your Maker post-apocalyptic world where players will be able to build using a new Sector-themed set of building blocks designed to create a completely different style of Outpost. 

“We will also release 4 gameplay elements all of which are unlockable by playing Meet Your Maker. The items are: a new Custodian with its Perks, a new Weapon with its Upgrades, a new Trap with its Mods and a new Guard with its Augments,” added Ash Pannell. “Each item is designed to shake up the game’s meta and will be themed to match the new Sector. Players will also be able to purchase these gameplay elements via platform stores.”

Finally, we will be releasing a cosmetic collection which will include a new Deco Pack, a new Custodian Skin, and a new Weapon Skin, all related to the fantasy of Sector 1. This cosmetic collection will be available to purchase via platform stores.

Sector 1: Dreadshore includes:

• 1 New Environment (Free/Instant Access)

• 4 New Gameplay Elements (Unlockable via playtime or purchasable on PlayStation, Xbox, or Steam) 
• • Custodian + Perks*
