Dead by Daylight x The Walking Dead Collaboration Confirmed: “Together, We Endure
Similar to games like Fortnite or Fall Guys, Dead by Daylight frequently features crossovers. Since its 2016 release, Behaviour Interactive’s asymmetrical survival horror title has partnered with numerous acclaimed properties from both video games, such as Tomb Raider, Resident Evil, and Silent Hill, and cinema, including Scream, Halloween, and Alien. Its next confirmed crossover is with The Walking Dead. Following numerous rumors, Behaviour Interactive officially confirmed the Dead by Daylight and The Walking Dead collaboration yesterday via the game’s social media channels. The studio posted an image familiar to fans of the AMC series: the iconic door inscribed “Don’t Open, Dead Inside,” which Rick Grimes encounters in the first episode after awakening from his coma. Accompanying this image was a brief message: “Together, we endure. Alone, we fall,” a phrase that encapsulates the spirit of both The Walking Dead and Dead by Daylight. While specific details of this new crossover remain unrevealed, Behaviour Interactive has scheduled a full presentation for later today.
The Walking Dead x Dead by Daylight Collaboration Unveils Potential Characters and Surprises
Players can anticipate a new killer, additional survivors, and potentially exclusive skins and other surprises with this collaboration. While the specific characters for the Dead by Daylight x The Walking Dead chapter have not been disclosed, speculation points to Negan as the killer, with Rick, Michonne, or Daryl as potential survivors. More details are expected soon. In Dead by Daylight updates, the killer from Five Nights at Freddy’s recently received a balance patch with both nerfs and boosts. The game also remains one of the most played titles on Steam. The Twisted Masquerade event, marking Dead by Daylight’s yearly anniversary, is currently underway. Players can earn Bloodpoints and Shards by logging in daily. However, Behaviour Interactive has intentionally reduced the drop rate of in-game anniversary cakes, which also results in fewer Bloodpoints. While developers state these changes are working as intended, this decision has led to significant player complaints, as many find it makes earning Bloodpoints more challenging. It remains unclear why Behaviour Interactive made this change or if they plan to address these concerns.
