Asymmetric horror game Dead by Daylight has added Alan Wake, the protagonist of Remedy Entertainment’s series of the same name, to its roster.
Alan Wake’s likeness in Dead by Daylight is based on Ilkka Villi, the same physical actor from the source games. Matthew Porretta also reprises his role voicing the iconic author.
The new chapter includes three character perks for Alan Wake. «Champion of Light» enhances movement speed while shining a flashlight and can hinder the killer's progress if successfully blinding them. «Boon: Illumination» allows the creation of a totem, revealing generator and chest auras to nearby survivors. «Deadline» increases skill check frequency during healing or generator repair when injured, with reduced penalties for missed checks.
Sam Lake, creative director of Remedy Entertainment, had the following to say on Alan Wake’s inclusion in Dead by Daylight:
“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.”
Alan Wake will be available in Dead by Daylight for $9.99 when the game’s new chapter officially drops on January 30, 2024.
Fans of the series can also look forward to new DLC for Alan Wake 2 releasing sometime this year.
