Behaviour Interactive has announced that Alan Wake will be joining Dead by Daylight as the multiplayer horror game’s latest survivor. The troubled writer and star of Remedy Entertainment’s latest game won’t officially be available until January 30, but players can try him out now as part of a time-limited public test build and patch on Steam that also adds FOV settings and more.
Survivor perks:
- Champion of Light
- Grants additional movement speed while shining a flashlight
- Blinding a killer will slow them down (Hindered Status Effect)
- Boon: Illumination
- Creates a Boon Totem, allowing Survivors to see Auras of Generators and Chests across the map
- “When you have a lit Boon Totem, you’ll also Cleanse and Bless Totems faster”
- Deadline
- Activates when Wake is injured, upping the frequency of Skill Checks while Healing Survivors or Repairing Generators
- “Should you happen to miss one, the penalty will be halved”
Quotes:
- “We are thrilled to bring Alan Wake, our tortured writer, into the acclaimed Dead by Daylight. We feel the lore of our two horror experiences is a match made in the Dark Place and can’t wait to experience the horrors that await him in the Fog,” said Sam Lake, Creative Director of Remedy Entertainment.
- “Since it first launched back in 2010, Alan Wake has been a huge influence to us on the Dead by Daylight team,” said Mathieu Coté, Head of Partnerships at Behaviour Interactive. “From broad themes to specific elements, both our games already feel connected in many ways. This is a character we always thought would be right at home in the Dead by Daylight universe. To finally see Alan come to the Fog as a Survivor feels like a full-circle moment, especially as the recently released second entry in the franchise is still fresh in player’s minds.”
Alan Wake’s likeness is based on the physical actor of the character, Ilkka Villi, and, of course, the Chapter wouldn’t be complete without Alan Wake’s iconic voice, brought to life in-game by Matthew Porretta. He’s reprised his role for Dead by Daylight, recording a number of original voice lines and cries. Yes – that’s really Alan Wake you’re hearing scream. He also recorded material for several of our marketing assets, including the Chapter’s Launch Trailer, CGI Trailer, and Spotlight Trailer.
