After the excessive coincidences between the last chapter of Dead by Daylight and Predator, I told you about the fact that Predator is probably actually coming to Dead by Daylight in June:

Also because the anniversary chapters, except for a few times, has always been in collaboration with some license, and all those Predator-themed clues contained in the last chapter could actually mean teasers to the next upcoming licensed content.

There is, however, another license that has always been wanted by the Dead by Daylight community, namely the collaboration with Alien, which a few years ago was also the 'victim' of a fake image that made fans hope for the actual arrival of the creature within the game:

I then told you about the probable arrival of the chapter on Alien for the seventh anniversary already last year, on more than one occasion:

- Alien could be the license to celebrate the 7th Anniversary of DbD;

- ALIEN Horror Game in 2023 Leaked: Also Coming on Dead by Daylight for 7th Anniversary?

But let's take a step back for a moment: what is Alien?

For those who don’t know what I'm talking about, Alien was born in 1979 from an idea by Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett, directed by Ridley Scott and produced by 20th Century Fox, still considered one of the masterpieces of Ridley Scott and one of the best science fiction films ever. After the incredible success of the first film, others followed, with some crossover films with Predator, but no film succeeded in surprising as the first of Ridley Scott.

Since 1979, the fanbase of Alien has become huge, and huge is also the desire that the community has to see it on Dead by Daylight. On the other hand after the Demogorgon from Stranger Things, Ghostface from Scream, Pyramid Head from Silent Hill, the Nemesis from Resident Evil and all the other licensed contents, nothing seems impossible, and so dreaming is more than permissible, but there is something that could make these dreams, something actually real.

The license of Alien in fact has found a way to assert itself in the world of video games thanks to Alien: Isolation, a first-person shooter horror game developed by The Creative Assembly and published by SEGA in 2014, and that is considered one of the most successful horror single player games and one of the very few tie-ins worthy of note, with an incredible artificial intelligence and well-groomed technical side.

From that moment on, fans of Alien began to grow even within video games, eager to see maybe an Alien: Isolation 2, which due to the uninspiring sales of the first chapter, has not yet become reality. And it is therefore on Dead by Daylight that all hopes are shifted to finally see Alien in a well-known horror product, after arriving on Fortnite in 2021.

So why could Alien actually arrive on Dead by Daylight? The answer is very simple, never before as in this period, this license is being exploited in many ways in the videogames, from the 2021 Multiplayer CO-OP Aliens Fireteam Elite, to the 2021 collaboration with Fortnite I told you about before, the announcement a few months ago of a new Alien game in 2023, and also a new announcement months ago about another single player Alien game.

Among all these projects that involve the license of Alien, I do not see why not include Behaviour Interactive, that as mentioned above, after all the collaborations that has done and will continue to do, it would not be impossible to see a crossover between Alien and Dead by Daylight, especially if the license is also granted to new studios such as Cold Iron Studios that before Aliens Fireteam Elite had not developed anything, indeed, it was their first game, so it shouldn’t be difficult in theory to agree on a partnership.

And not only that, because it is recently rumored that another AAA game based on the Alien license is in development, and it will be a survival horror single player that should be released this year and that it will have gameplay similar to Dead Space and Resident Evil, codenamed 'marathon' and Alien Isolation 2 according to leaks, is also in development.

A collaboration with Dead by Daylight then would be a great way for the IP to return in a big way with new games, and collaboration with the most popular multiplayer horror game of the moment.

In fact, according to a leak, during Alien Day (April 26), there will be the following announcements:

- Aliens: Dark Descent - Release Date/Gameplay Trailer (Fall 2023);
- Aliens Fireteam Elite - Announcement of Free DLC (will release within 2 months of the announcement);
- Aliens VR Gameplay trailer (Unknown release date);
- Alien Dead By Daylight Chapter (May-June release);
- Release of a new Marvel Alien comic alongside the announcement of a new one;
- New merch announcements, new toys, clothing and statues;
- Small Teasers for the Alien TV Series, nothing big on this one.

Among the many announcements to be made during Alien Day, one of the most important is definitely the collaboration with Dead by Daylight, which would finally see the dream of many fans come true.

Let me remind you that this is all a leak and nothing is confirmed, but if it actually happens, would you like it?
