Dead by Daylight x Alien Crossover Officially Revealed
After teasing it last week, Behaviour Interactive has officially announced that the sci-fi horror franchise Alien is the latest property to cross over with its asymmetrical horror game Dead by Daylight.
Dead by Daylight: Alien will be available on all platforms starting August 29. And as you'd expect, the latest crossover will introduce the Xenomorph as a new killer while Ellen Ripley will be a new survivor added to with her memories being utilized to reconstruct the spaceship the Nostromo.
Behaviour Interactive points out that the Xenomorph is "the embodiment of the stealth killer," noting it can strike survivors with its tail, and its power is called Runner Mode, which allows it to walk on four legs and become stealthier.
Outside of a new backdrop and playable characters, the crossover will also introduce an interactive map function called Control Stations. The new feature will allow the Xenomorph to enter and exit tunnels underneath the control station, while survivors will have the option to interact with one of the seven control stations scattered across the map to obtain a new Flame Turret, which they can use to fend off the creature.
Alien is the latest horror film to crossover with Dead by Daylight, with previous crossovers featured content from Saw, Hellraiser, and Ringu.
