Dead By Daylight Adding New Silent Hill Content

Alongside this portal, the killer has access to a powerful lunging strike. This serves as another tool the Demogorgon has to close space while trying to kill survivors. This lunge provides the creature with far-reaching slash attacks and sets up the opportunity for pursuit or another melee str


Now the game is taking its first foray into a realm of horror only previously touched upon with a small collaboration: video games. To celebrate its fourth anniversary, Dead By Daylight Tips by Daylight is working with Konami to license out characters, a locale, and more from the world of Silent Hill . The crossover for Chapter 16 was officially unveiled during a broadcast today and will be officially released on PC and consoles June 16. Game Rant sat down with Behaviour's Game Director Mathieu Cote, Creative Director Dave Richard, and Head of Public Relations Marie Claude Bernard last week to discuss the ins-and-outs of representing a beloved franch


One major way Pyramid Head is able to try and drive his victims where he wants them to be is through a new mechanic called trench drawing. By planting his giant knife into the ground, Pyramid Head can create a trench that forces Survivors to make a choice: Find another way to a particular location, or wade through the trench and become inflicted with the "Tormented" status. While a Survivor is under the effects of "Torment," if Pyramid Head puts them in a dying state he can begin the sacrifice sequence without a hook. He traps them in the "Cage of Atonement" bed contraption from Silent Hill 2 , and Richard said he can execute them on the spot through a power called "the Final Judgment" before moving to a new victim. However, Survivors can still be rescued and escape from the Cage of Atonem


Doctor - Recently on the receiving end of a pretty sizeable rework, the Doctor is still a force to be reckoned with due to his powerful area effects. The Doctor revolves around generating Madness in the survivors, which can impose changes to skill checks, reveal their location randomly, and more with his add-


These two abilities cement the Demogorgon as one of the best killers for dominating map space. This makes facing the Demogorgon a guessing game of whether or not you are in range of the cruel monster's powerful attacks or


Legendary Outfits are "for sure" something the developers will utilize down the line and may also be applied to previous content according to Cote. However "anything licensed is always extremely delicate," so the team would not be able to comment on whether skins for those properties would be coming until they are ready to be announced. Dead by Daylight is also adding typical cosmetics for Pyramid Head and Heather Mason into the store on the day the new chapter releases, but with a more extensive scope. Richard said it has been hard to add cosmetics for licensed characters like Freddy Krueger because they have a specific "look," but the Silent Hill characters will get original, unique outfits designed in-house by Behaviour through its partnership with Kon


The Demogorgon is allowed 6 portals to be in the arena at a time. This allows the killer a wide variety of options to dominate the map space and to lock down certain key areas of the map. The portals are invisible to survivors until they have been "activated" which then allows survivors the chance to destroy the portals. To activate a portal a Demogorgon simply has to travel to that portal from another portal, this activates both of the portals used to travel. Once activated the tunnels become visible to the survivors and can be destroyed. However, once activated the Demogorgon has the ability to see a survivor's aura once they are close to an activated portal. This provides the creature with some powerful recon abilities in a ma


Despite the language barrier, Cote said the collaboration with Konami was "smooth" because Konami was excited and understood the requirements of making content for video games. This "landmark moment" is just one step in an ongoing process that Cote said has evolved Dead by Daylight from a homage to movies from the 70s and 80s into "the place where horror comes to pl


The Demogorgon is technically a "trap" style of character. His array of portal spawning abilities may not seem much like traps but they offer up similar utility to the other trapping characters within the g


The Demogorgon's "of the abyss" special moves allows the creature to create portals which allow him to navigate the map rapidly. These portals are tunnels which allow the creature to access the "upside-down" and maneuver without detection to an already created tunnel. This allows the Demogorgon to be undetectable as he travels and provides the creature with an unparalleled map presence and cont


The Demogorgon can also activate Of the Abyss which allows it to lunge if attacking as well as revealing survivors who are near activated portals. Surge is the only Demogorgon perk that is really worthwhile as it really helps slow survivors down by regressing generators. Cruel Limits is incredibly situational as it's only useful if chasing a survivor who just finished a generator, and even then it only lasts for 30 seconds at max le
