To celebrate its fourth anniversary, Dead by Daylight is adding Pyramid Head from Konami’s Silent Hill franchise to this esteemed pantheon. While the developers have previously incorporated content from Valve’s Left 4 Dead in the form of a new Survivor chaos Shuffle dbd and alternate costumes, this will be the first time an entire Chapter complete with a Killer, Survivor, and map is based on a video game. Before Behaviour’s official reveal today, Game Rant sat down with Game Director Mathieu Cote, Creative Director Dave Richard, and Head of Public Relations Marie Claude Bernard to talk about what Pyramid Head will offer in service of the Ent

In the lore of Dead by Daylight , the Entity is an «almighty malevolent being» that captures Survivors and Killers, traps them in Trial Grounds, and forces them to go through endeavors that allows it to feed on their emotions until it can consume the entire world. These «trials» are what play out in-game, as the Survivor characters are tasked with starting generators around the arena to open exits before being sacrificed to the Entity. In order to do so, Killer players must incapacitate their prey, carry them to hooks, and leave them there to be taken. Killer perks exist in service of these goals by facilitating the discovery of Survivors or making it easier to incapacitate them, as all four Survivors must be sacrificed for the Killer to

One thing that was interesting about developing the Silent Hill chapter for Richard was seeing how many people at Behaviour Interactive knew in-depth details about the franchise and locations like Midwich. He said artists came to him with ideas about adding little references, which led to it being «packed with secrets.» Cote said this passion emphasizes the franchise’s significa

«The world of the Entity, our own Killers, it’s critical that we continue to enrich that and make it more powerful. [The visitors] need to add to it, to have a place to play that is interesting and fun, then they can interact. This is the only place you can live the fantasy of having Freddy Krueger chasing Steve Harrington from Stranger Things in the house that Michael Myers grew up

Between each round, players go to the hud (which is a campfire) and make offerings to the Entity by burning items in order to appease it. Then they’ll go to the «Bloodweb» (the Entity’s lair) in which «Bloodpoints» are spent to unlock certain add-ons, items, and perks. Bloodpoints are acquired at the end of each trail and the quantity is dependant on the player’s performance. The higher the ranking, the more Bloodpoints will be accumulated. Survivors and killers alike will eventually come with a total of four perks to their loadout. Each perk grants a special ability and beginning players will start with just one slot while others will be unlocked later on. Perks range from; self-healing, speed boosts, temporary invincibility, and m

Midwich will be a unique addition to Dead by Daylight because it is a reimagining of the original PlayStation 1 map using modern technology. Richard said usually the developers have to interpret a location fans have seen in films and television, but those who have played Silent Hill will find Dead by Daylight ‘s take nearly identical — including «winks to the franchise» like remade jump scares and puzzles that don’t typically appear in the asymmetrical horror g

What makes this Chainsaw charge so devastating, is that it grants the Hillbilly an instant kill attack out of the sprint. Essentially morphing the Hillbilly into a hyper-mobile killing machine. However, landing this one hit kill attack is not guaranteed, the strike is rather finicky and can whiff if thrown with reckless abando

The game has a known issue that it’s easier being the survivors. Players work together and they’re using the third-person camera. So survivors can easily look around them when working on an objective to see if the killer is com

Cote said the inclusion of licensed characters starting with Michael Myers and Laurie Strode made a statement that «real horror lives in Dead by Daylight ,» but it also opened up unique and interesting narrative opportunit

As mentioned earlier in the guide, Hillbilly is a very basic killer in a game filled with personality and in-depth mechanics. But the character makes up for his lacking personality by having some of the most powerful tools in the game. But to truly get mileage out of his seemingly bare-bones arsenal will take some practice, but can lead to some incredibly quick and brutal rounds of Dead by Dayli
