We already know the date on which we will be able to play with Nicolas Cage as a survivor in Dead By Daylight and thanks to his appearance on the PTB or test server we also know what his abilities are.
In case you don’t know what we’re talking about, Behavior Interactive revealed during the special presentation of the seventh anniversary of DbD that the actor will appear in the game. The news it had leaked a few days before that
You can check out the character trailer below, narrated by the actor himself. You can activate the subtitles in Latin American Spanish.
