Dead by Daylight is one of those perennially popular games that rarely seems to make the news: probably because developer Behaviour Interactive got it more-or-less right and players love the game as it is. Nevertheless it remains constantly active with new DLC and promotions and now, roughly eight years after its initial release, has hit the considerable milestone of 50 million players.

GOG has two news:

https://www.dsogaming.com/mods/nier-automatas-2b-comes-to-final-fantasy-7-remake-thanks-to-this-mod/
NieR Automata and Final Fantasy 7 fans, here is something for you today. Modder ‘Cocasze’ released a mod that replaces Tifa with 2B from Square Enix’s action RPG.
Going into more details, this mod features two versions. The first version has 2B’s eyepatch whereas the second version does not. Moreover, this mod requires another mod that replaces all of Tifa’s in-game costumes with the Purple Dress.
As with the Tomb Raider Lara Croft Mod, this is just a character swap mod and nothing more. This does not change the voice of Tifa, or her moveset. Still, it’s a cool mod that a lot of NieR Automata fans will appreciate. Additionally, there are full facial expressions, so that’s good news.
