Behaviour Interactive has officially confirmed that legendary horror movie characters will soon be arriving in Dead by Daylight. However, they have yet to reveal which icons from the genre will make their way into the game. With this exciting announcement, fans are already speculating about who could be next in the Fog.
Which Horror Icons Are Still Missing from Dead by Daylight?
While Dead by Daylight has already brought some of the biggest names in horror—like Michael Myers (Halloween), Freddy Krueger (A Nightmare on Elm Street), Pinhead (Hellraiser), and The Xenomorph (Alien)—there are still several major horror villains that have yet to make an appearance.
Here are some potential candidates and how they could work in the game:
1. Jason Voorhees (Friday the 13th) – “The Revenant”
- Power: Camp Blood Rage – Jason moves slowly but cannot be stunned or blinded. Instead of vaulting windows, he bursts through them, leaving shattered glass hazards that injure survivors who pass through them.
- Unique Mechanic: He stalks survivors silently but can only attack when close enough. His rage builds over time, eventually making him faster and immune to pallet drops for a short duration.
2. Nosferatu (Nosferatu, 1922) – “The Ancient One”
- Power: Shadow Plague – Nosferatu can infect survivors with vampiric corruption, gradually draining their health over time unless they find a way to cleanse themselves.
- Unique Mechanic: Survivors affected by Shadow Plague suffer from blurred vision and inverted controls at high infection levels. Nosferatu can also phase through walls briefly, moving like a ghost in the darkness.
3. Pennywise (IT) – “The Dancing Clown”
- Power: Fear Itself – Pennywise shapeshifts into different fears based on the survivor he’s chasing. If he stays near a survivor for too long, they begin to hallucinate and see fake pallets, windows, and even teammates.
- Unique Mechanic: He can switch between his clown and spider form, gaining speed and attack range in his monstrous form but losing his ability to trick survivors.
4. Predator (Predator) – “The Hunter”
- Power: Cloaked Stalker – Predator can turn invisible for short bursts, moving undetected unless survivors use a special mechanic (like mud or UV light) to reveal him.
- Unique Mechanic: Instead of a normal attack, Predator marks survivors with a targeting laser, delaying the hit by a second but making it unavoidable once locked on. He also has thermal vision, letting him track survivors through walls for brief moments.
These are just a few of the iconic killers that could be on the table for Dead by Daylight. With Behaviour Interactive teasing legendary movie villains, fans can only hope that some of these nightmare-inducing characters finally enter the Fog.
Dead by Daylight Mobile Is Shutting Down on March 20
In other Dead by Daylight news, the mobile version of the game is officially shutting down on March 20, 2024. This marks the end of Dead by Daylight Mobile in certain regions, as the developers shift focus to the main game and other projects.
What Happens to Mobile-Exclusive Content?
Behaviour has confirmed that some skins and Memento Mori animations from Dead by Daylight Mobile will be integrated into the main version of the game. While the full list of transferred content hasn’t been revealed, this means players can expect new cosmetics and kill animations in the near future.
The closure of Dead by Daylight Mobile signals a shift in focus for Behaviour Interactive, likely allowing them to dedicate more resources to the upcoming legendary movie chapter and other major updates.
Final Thoughts: The Future of Dead by Daylight
With iconic horror characters on the horizon and the mobile version closing, Dead by Daylight is clearly entering a new phase. If Behaviour Interactive secures major licenses, this could be one of the biggest years in the game’s history.
What legendary horror movie villain do you think will be next? Will Jason finally arrive, or will Pennywise lurk in the Fog? One thing is certain—Dead by Daylight is preparing for something huge.
