Over the years, Dead by Daylight continues to be one of the most returned to titles thanks to the conviction of Behaviour Interactive issuing its stretch of added content to the game. Either from original content or licensed, players always find a reason to go back. The most recent starred a crossover featuring Nicolas Cage as the main survivor which still surprises many fans to this date.
Additionally, the game is expanding with two additional projects now in development. In that, Supermassive Games confirmed to be tackling a new story-driven, single-player experience set within the now expanding universe. Even more, Midwinter Entertainment is also conjuring up a new multiplayer take for Dead by Daylight. Details on when these titles are coming has yet to be shared yet.
This week, Behaviour Interactive reveals its next chapter for Dead by Daylight will feature the Xenomorph from the 20th Century Fox & Ridley Scott series, Alien. You can read the full perk list for both the Xenomorph killer & Ellen Ripley survivor below:
Xenomoprh
Ultimate Weapon – When you open a locker, this perk activates for 30 seconds. Survivors entering your Terror Radius scream and reveal their position and gain Blindness for 30 seconds. This perk then goes on cooldown for 40/35/30 seconds.
Rapid Brutality – You can no longer gain Bloodlust. Hitting a Survivor with a basic attack gives you 5% haste for 8/9/10 seconds.
Alien Instinct – This perk activates when you hook a Survivor. You see the aura of the farthest injured Survivor for 5 seconds and that Survivor is oblivious for 16/18/20 seconds.
Ellen Ripley
Lucky Star – When you hide in a locker, this perk activates. You leave no pools of blood and make no grunts of pain for 10 seconds. When you exit the locker, you see other survivors and the closest generator’s aura in yellow for 10 seconds. This perk then goes on cooldown for 40/35/30 seconds.
Chemical Trap – After completing 70%/60%/50% progress on any generator, this perk activates. While standing next to a dropped pallet, press the Active Ability Button 2 to install a Trap, which stays active for 100/110/120 seconds. The aura of trapped pallets are revealed in yellow to all Survivors. When the Killer performs the break action on the trapped pallet, the trap explodes, and they are slowed by 50% for 4 seconds.
Light Footed – When you are healthy, this perk activates. Your running footsteps are silent. This perk goes on cool-down for 28/24/20 seconds after doing a rushed action.
“A series of tunnels become available on the map when the Xenomorph is in play. By accessing a Control Station, it can enter these tunnels to quickly move around the map, detect the presence of nearby Survivors, and speed up the cooldown time of its Runner Mode ability. Exiting a Control Station tags nearby Survivors with Killer Instinct,” the description for the new map reads.
Recently, Behaviour Interactive & Blumhouse Productions confirmed a new Dead by Daylight film adaptation is in the works. Even more, James Wan’s Atomic Monsters is also said to be attached to the project as well. You can read the full report by heading here.
