The multiplayer horror game, Dead by Daylight, is adding a new character to its ranks. The game, which features characters from across the genre of horror, both the good guys, known as survivors, and the bad guys, known as killers, is getting a very famous new face. Fans will soon be able to play as the legend himself, Nicolas Cage, as he joins the roster of survivors.

The asymmetrical multiplayer survival game pits four survivors against one killer. Players who take on the role of the survivor play in a third-person view, whereas the killer is played in first person to allow the player to really get the feel of hunting down their prey. The game has been adding characters from all across the horror genre, with characters from Evil Dead, Halloween, Saw, Resident Evil, and even Attack on Titan made available to choose from, amongst others.

The addition of Cage is one fans are thrilled with, though we wonder, is he playing himself? Or is he playing one of his many characters? The actor spoke at the Summer Game Fest showcase to talk about his role in the game with PC Gamer reporting the actor’s explanation of his gaming persona.

“I play this heightened, exaggerated version of a film actor named Nic Cage, and he’s going to a location thinking he’s making a movie, and instead he wakes up in The Fog. And in The Fog he’s surrounded by crows and serial killers, and it’s rather amusing.”

A recently released clip shows what it might be like to play as Cage in the game.
