Behaviour Interactive is keeping theDead by Daylightcrossover train chugging with DLC based on 2024’s winner of some awards,Alan Wake 2. The eponymous wordsmith will be joining the game as a survivor.
Dead by Daylightwas released back in 2016, and since then, it’s been piling on the crossover content. By now, they must be running out of things to crossover with. Recently, they introduced a survivor DLC that isjust Nicholas Cage. Like, just the dude with a few different jackets. Eventually, maybe we’ll just be getting various unrelated celebrities. Orson Welles, perhaps? Columbo?
But for now,Alan Wakeis a pretty decent fit. The tormented writer is no stranger to horror and, when he’s not at a typewriter, spends much of his time under duress.The trailer showshow he gets tied into the slasher playground ofDead by Daylight. By writing, of course. Live by the pen, die by the pen.
If you’re not familiar,Dead by Daylightis an asymmetrical multiplayer game where up to four players take the role of the survivors trying to escape, and one person is a slasher trying to carve them up. It has previously crossed over with properties likeAlien,Silent Hill,andA Nightmare on Elm Street.
Alan will first be available onDead by Daylight’sPublic Test Build starting on January 10 at 11am EST. He’ll then be released for purchase on January 30.
