Alan Wake DBD: Release date and perks for new Dead By Daylight chapter
Dead by Daylight, the multiplayer survival horror released back in 2016, has had some eclectic crossovers in its eight years. From Chucky, to Halloween's Laurie Strode, to Nicolas Cage, it's giving Fortnite a run for its money.
In keeping with the horror theme, the next crossover will bring Alan Wake to the murder party. Like he hasn't had enough trauma already.

As fans of his respective series would expect, Alan Wake's perks are centred around light.
Champion of Light boosts Alan's speed while holding a flashlight, and it hinders the movement of his pursuer if he shines it in their eyes.
Deadline ups the frequency in which he heals allies or repairs generators – but it only activates when Alan is injured.
The third is a boon totem called Illumination that shows allies where chests and generators are by revealing their auras.
As well as Alan's perks, there will be a modifier called Lights Out.
For a limited time this will remove all tools from every survivor. We'd expect this sort of such helplessness in the company of Alan Wake.
There is indeed a trailer for the Alan Wake Dead by Daylight crossover! Check it out below, narrated by the man himself (voiced, of course, by Matthew Porretta).
