In the latest update of Dead by Daylight (DBD), the popular asymmetric horror game, the fictional horror author Alan Wake now enters the playing field. After seven years of iconic horror characters like Michael Myers and Ghostface, as well as newcomers like Cheryl Mason from Silent Hill and Nic Cage, Alan Wake's arrival is an exciting event for the DBD community.
Alan Wake's Entry Date in DBD
Alan Wake officially stepped into the fog of DBD on January 30, 2024 at 9 am PST (Pacific Standard Time), 12 pm EST (Eastern Standard Time), 5 pm GMT (Greenwich Mean Time). Immediately following that, on January 31, Tome 18 titled "Revision" was released, in which Alan Wake plays a central role.
New Voices and Characters in DBD
With the addition of new voice lines from well-known actors such as Nic Cage and the original Chucky and Tiffany actors Brad Dourif and Jennifer Tilly, Behaviour Interactive brings further dimensions to the game. Alan Wake's chapter is no exception. Fans will recognize the likeness of live-action Alan Wake, Ilkka Villi, as well as hear the voice of Matthew Porretta.
Alan Wake DBD Perks
As a Survivor, Alan Wake brings his own perks:
- Champion of the Light: While shining a flashlight, you gain 50% Haste. Successfully blinding a Killer grants them the Hindered status effect. This perk has a cooldown of 80 seconds.
- Boon: Illumination: Survivors within the radius of the Boon Totem can see the auras of all chests and generators. If you have an active Boon Totem, you cleanse or bless totems faster.
- Deadline: When injured, skill checks appear more frequently during healing or repair actions in random positions. The advantage is that missing a skill check is reduced by 50%.
Future Dead by Daylight Chapters
The next full DBD chapter is expected in March 2024 and is set to bring a new Killer, Survivor, and hopefully a new map. It has been a while since we had a new map in Dead by Daylight, although significant changes have been made to existing maps, including the return of the Hawkins Lab from Stranger Things.
Conclusion: An Exciting Addition for DBD Players
With the introduction of Alan Wake in Dead by Daylight, the game's universe continues to expand. The new perks and the involvement of familiar voices and faces increase the excitement and gameplay experience. If you are a fan of DBD, it is definitely worth experiencing Alan Wake in action and taking on the new challenges he brings. Be prepared to plunge into the fog and explore the unknown!
