A new chapter has been revealed for Dead by Daylight. A new killer from the series “Stranger Things” is coming, along with two new survivors.
Dead by Daylight launched a spontaneous livestream a few hours ago, titled “¿¿¿¿“. As the stream’s timer counted down, fans were in an uproar and had a clear theory.
Because something “upside-down” is a recurring term in the series Stranger Things. And sure enough, Dead by Daylight has secured the rights to the characters from Stranger Things and will introduce a new killer along with two survivors!
This is the killer “Demogorgon”: The Demogorgon will be the first distinctly non-human killer in Dead by Daylight. He is primarily the antagonist from the first season and responsible for many of the mysterious incidents in the series. Although his body resembles that of a humanoid, his head consists more of a kind of petal filled with numerous teeth, allowing him to devour his prey in one bite.
These are the survivors: This chapter brings two survivors, namely Nancy Wheeler and Steve Harrington. Both are main characters from the series and are still teenagers caught up in the mysterious incidents.
In the first season, Steve was a minor character, but he became so popular that he was made a main character in season 2 – much to the delight of the Dead by Daylight community. Many players are already saying they will become a “Steve main”.
No abilities or perks for either the killer or the survivors have been revealed so far.
Survivors look like the original: A new feature of the “Stranger Things” chapter is that the characters will apparently resemble the actors. Because at least in the trailer, Nancy Wheeler and Steve Harrington look exactly like the actors Natalia Dyer and Joe Keery. The reason for this could be that the rights holders of Stranger Things (Netflix) still have the two actors under contract for upcoming seasons.
In “Halloween,” this was not the case. That’s why, for example, Laurie Strode does not look like Jamie Lee Curtis in Dead by Daylight.
Chapter 13 of Dead by Daylight will be released in September. A specific date has not yet been announced.
Are you looking forward to the new killer in Dead by Daylight? Or are you more intrigued by one of the two new survivors?
