Behavior Interactive has announced a slew of new content for Dead by Daylight, including new chapters, collections, and the surprise addition of actor Nicolas Cage as a playable character. The first chapter of The Eighth Year, “Transmission’s End,” introduces sci-fi horror to the critically acclaimed action horror game. With a new map, “Toba Landing”, set on a mysterious and terrifying planet, Chapter takes players to a unique biome with menacing flora and an atmosphere unlike anything on Earth.
The latest killer, the “Singularity”, is a monstrous amalgamation of restructured organic matter and machine parts seeking to become the perfect life form. Hope lies in new Survivor Gabriel Soma, a talented technician whose determination helped him escape the Singularity and avoid the terrible fate that befell his crew. “We’re thrilled to take the fear of the unknown to new heights with ‘End Transmission,'” said Dead by Daylight Creative Director Dave Richard. “With this new chapter, we’re expanding the boundaries of the Entity’s reach and exploring the dark themes of advanced technology, and I think it’s going to be a very scary experience for all players.”
“End Transmission” will be released on June 13, 2023 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store and Windows Store. In a collaboration that fans didn’t know was needed, Dead by Daylight is excited to announce the arrival of an incomparable Hollywood legend: Nicolas Cage. In his deadliest role to date, the award-winning actor will enter the Mist as himself, another Survivor condemned to fight for his life in the Entity Kingdom. Players can learn more about this exciting addition on July 5, 2023. Exciting new cosmetics are on the way! The Dead by Daylight team is pleased to pay tribute to metal legends Iron Maiden and Slipknot with their own collections. The Iron Maiden collection is inspired by Eddie, the band’s front man, and his numerous appearances on the group’s album covers, while the Slipknot collection features nine iconic Killer masks that pay tribute to Slipknot members. Stay tuned for more details.
The upcoming Artists from The Fog Collection spotlights the incredibly talented Dead by Daylight community and features four creators from Canada, the United States, Poland, and Europe designing outfits for two killers and two survivors. The fifth artist hails from Japan and is none other than the colorful Creative Director, Ikumi Nakamura, who has designed Cosmetics for The Oni, The Legion and Yui Kimura. 7-Outfit Artists From The Fog Collection will be available later this summer. Finally, fans can expect another big addition to the store’s offerings next year with a collection that will evoke nostalgia for longtime followers of Behavior Interactive’s work.
