Woah! Guess who is coming to Dead by Daylight. Why, it’s the Witcher himself, Geralt of Rivia. Get out of here is what we have to say to that. Dead by Daylight is known for playing host to all kinds of colorful characters, including Nicolas Cage himself. But having The Witcher join the fray has to be Dead by Daylight‘s nerdiest move yet. And we approve. At PAX East, Dead by Daylight made several exciting announcements in celebration of its ninth anniversary, among them was the arrival of The Witcher to the game, as well as new details of its Five Nights at Freddy’s collaboration. Let’s take a look at what we learned.
Fantasy and horror gaming really do go hand and in hand. And now players who love The Witcher can express that love on Dead by Daylight with a newly announced Witcher Collection for Dead by Daylight. A release shares, “Fans will be able to step into The Fog wearing Outfits inspired by the game’s iconic cast, including the Witcher himself, Geralt of Rivia.”
Dead by Daylight Product Director, Rose Li notes, “Our favorite of the Collection is of course Geralt’s Legendary Outfit for Vittorio Toscano. Not only will it let players essentially take on the exact look of The White Wolf, but we’ve also added some really nice details as part of this Outfit. Geralt will have unique lobby animations, and best of all, brand-new voice lines recorded for our game by the original voice actor, Doug Cockle.”
New Geralt content from Dead by Daylight? We did not have that on our bingo card. But it sure is exciting. The Witcher collection will also include Very Rare Outfits for Yennefer, Ciri, Triss, and Eredin.
And just when can you add The Witcher to your game, you might ask? Well, Dead by Daylight’s The Witcher Collection will be available June 3.
The Witcher is making its way into town, but that’s not all that’s happening for Dead by Daylight. At PAX East, Dead by Daylight shared that Five Nights at Freddy’s Springtrap will be the game’s latest Killer.
According to Dead by Daylight, Five Nights at Freddy’s was its most requested license! Not bad for a bunch of animatronics. Additionally, this will be the first time Springtrap is a playable character in a game. That’s a big moment for everyone involved.
There’s a lot still to reveal about Dead by Daylight’s Five Nights at Freddy‘s collaboration, but at PAX East we learned that, “As part of the Chapter’s Collection, a Springtrap Legendary Outfit will be released letting players embody the ‘Yellow Rabbit’ version of the character, portrayed by Matthew Lillard in the Blumhouse adaptation. Lillard was also revealed to have lent his likeness and recorded original voice lines for the Outfit. The Chapter will also include a new Map featuring Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, filled with easter eggs and surprises for fans to discover.”
The new Dead by Daylight Five Nights at Freddy’s Killer and Map are “coming soon.”
All we have to say is we are SEATED.
