Exciting news for horror fans and Dead by Daylight players—Capcom is reportedly working on a third Resident Evil chapter, this time focusing on the eerie Baker family from Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. This would mark the third major collaboration between Dead by Daylight and Resident Evil, following the introduction of Nemesis in the first chapter and Albert Wesker in Project W.
The Baker Family Enters The Fog
The Baker family, led by the terrifying Jack Baker, could soon make their way into Dead by Daylight. Fans of Resident Evil 7 will remember the family’s nightmarish presence in the Louisiana mansion, where they hunted down protagonist Ethan Winters. If the leaks are accurate, this chapter may introduce Jack Baker as the next Killer, bringing his twisted and relentless hunting style to the game. His abilities could take inspiration from his regenerative powers and brutal melee attacks.
What is Resident Evil 7: Biohazard?
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard was released on January 24, 2017, and marked a significant shift in the franchise by adopting a first-person perspective, intensifying the horror experience. The game is set in a dilapidated plantation in Dulvey, Louisiana, where the protagonist, Ethan Winters, searches for his missing wife, Mia. His investigation leads him to the terrifying Baker family, who have been transformed into monstrous beings due to a bio-organic weapon known as Eveline. The Bakers—Jack, Marguerite, and Lucas—each have distinct, horrifying traits and play a crucial role in the game’s psychological and survival horror elements.
Expanding the Resident Evil Universe in Dead by Daylight
With previous Resident Evil expansions focusing on Nemesis, Leon, Jill, Wesker, Ada, and Rebecca, adding the Bakers would bring a fresh and terrifying dynamic to Dead by Daylight. Resident Evil 7 took the franchise in a new, more intimate horror direction, making it a perfect fit for the game’s atmosphere.
Additionally, reports suggest that a new Wesker cosmetic is in development, paying homage to one of the most memorable villains in gaming history. This could bring an alternate look or even a legendary outfit for the Mastermind.
Capcom’s Influence on Nemesis’ Design
Interestingly, insiders have revealed that Nemesis’ original design in Dead by Daylight featured a power similar to Wesker’s, but Capcom pushed for the inclusion of zombies, ultimately shaping the final version of the character. This showcases Capcom’s active involvement in making sure their characters align with their Resident Evil lore while also offering a unique experience in Dead by Daylight.
What’s Next?
While there’s no official confirmation yet, the idea of the Baker family joining Dead by Daylight has already excited fans. As we await further details, this potential third Resident Evil chapter would continue Behaviour Interactive’s strong partnership with Capcom, bringing yet another terrifying villain into The Fog.
Stay tuned for more updates as this chapter develops!
