This exciting crossover will bring a whole new dimension to the game, with a dungeon map and new elf and bard survivors added to the mix. Let’s take a deeper look at what players can expect from this unique collaboration.
Vecna: The New Killer
Vecna, a long-running mega-baddie from D&D lore, will be the latest killer to join the Dead by Daylight roster. Voiced by Critical Role dungeon master Matthew Mercer, Vecna brings a whole new level of terror to the game. With four powerful spells at his disposal, including the ability to fly and control magical items, Vecna will surely keep survivors on their toes. Players will have to navigate the new Forgotten Ruins map, filled with treasure chests that could contain Vecna’s deadly gear.
The Troupe, consisting of Baermar Uraz and Aestri Yazar, will be the new survivors introduced in the D&D chapter. These human and elf bard characters bring unique abilities to the game, such as creating illusions and using Bardic Inspiration to aid their teammates. With the power to spot nearby generators and items, The Troupe will play a crucial role in outsmarting Vecna and escaping his clutches.
After the release of the D&D chapter in early June, Dead by Daylight teased an upcoming chapter inspired by Castlevania. Fans can expect more information on this new chapter on August 6th, with the possibility of facing off against iconic characters like Dracula and Belmont survivors. Additionally, a new supersized casual mode will be introduced this summer, allowing two killers to take on eight survivors in an intense battle of wits and strategy.
In addition to the new chapters, Dead by Daylight will also be launching a two-player co-op roguelite spin-off titled What the Fog. This Jumanji-like cursed board game brings a fresh and thrilling experience to the Dead by Daylight universe. With a variety of perks, abilities, and surprises in store, players can look forward to countless hours of exciting gameplay.
