* CreatorBacklash: Zoey Alexandria, voice actor for The Unknown, expressed regret for voicing the character shortly after its release after she had received word from fans on what her character actually was ([[ActingInTheDark something she wasn't fully clear on while doing recording]]), feeling that she had been "tricked" into voicing -- based on The Unknown's [[AmbiguousGender deliberately gender-ambiguous design]] -- what she had been informed was a transphobic caricature (not helped by how Alexandria herself is a trans woman and vocal coach for transgender people), even stating that she was going to pursue legal action. Shortly after, however, she rescinded this claim and became supporting of Behaviour and The Unknown upon getting a better understanding of what the character actually was, clarifying that she was more upset by the transphobic harassment that unintentionally came about as a result of the character's design, along with the lack of communication regarding the design by Behaviour (who she otherwise described as being very kind to her and insisted were ''not'' transphobic).

* CreatorBacklash: Zoey Alexandria, voice actor for the Unknown, expressed regret for voicing the character shortly after its release, claiming that the developers had modelled the Unknown's appearance after her in an attempt to "cater to the transphobic community", that she was "tricked" into voicing the character, stating that she was going to pursue legal action. Shortly after however, she rescinded this claim and became supporting of the Unknown, claiming that she was just frustrated by the transphobic harassment that unintentionally came about as a result of the character's design along with a lack of communication regarding the design by Behaviour.

** Two cancelled Killers:
*** In July 2016, around the time Behavior was teasing their first Chapter DLC, a trio of icons were discovered in the game's files: "Trapple" (a Survivor Item), "Detention" (a Killer Power), and "Underperform" (a Killer Perk), leading many to speculate on a potential SadistTeacher-themed Killer. Instead The Nurse was released as the first DLC character, and those files remain unused.
*** "The Smasher" was a Killer explicitly confirmed to have been scrapped, with his original concept being that he was able to destroy anything in the map, from trees, to walls, to entire buildings. He was scrapped as it he would end up being impossible to balance properly for the game.
** Cancelled maps:
*** Sadako/The Onryō was supposed to receive an accompanying map that was reportedly similar in design to Coldwind Farm, but it was binned as it was ''too'' similar to Coldwind Farm.
*** Behaviour considered developing a map for Pinhead/The Cenobyte, but this concept was supposedly rejected because it would have had "too much sexuality."

* SerendipityWritesThePlot: During their {{crossover}} with ''Literature/TheRing'', the initial plan was that in addition to having Sadako Yamamura/The Onryō as a Killer, one of the protagonists from ''Ringu'' would be a Survivor, but Behaviour wasn't able to obtain rights to use the likenesses of their actors. To compensate, they gave the role to Yoichi Asakawa, [[KidHeroAllGrownUp who was just a child in the movies, and aged him up to adulthood]], making his plot in ''Dead by Daylight'' something of a DistantSequel to the ''Ringu'' movies.
