Summary
Behaviour Interactive has just revealed a teaser trailer for an upcoming horrifying new killer inDead by Daylight, with fans speculating that the creature may be some type of folklore monster. A number of IP-based and originalkillers inDead by Daylighthave received praise from players, and audiences are already buzzing with potential explanations for this terrifying new addition.
First released in 2016,Dead by Daylightis an asymmetrical multiplayer horror game where survivors must repair generators in order to unlock an exit and escape from powerful killers. The game features a number of killers from pop culture franchises, such as the Demogorgon fromStranger Things, along with a number of original killers, including the game’s mascot, the Trapper. Fans frequently speculate on potential new additions to the game’s lineup, and this latest teaser is once again drumming up excitement.
The next killer forDbDappears to be a horrifying monster that many are speculating may have folklore origins. In the teaser, a first-person view of a camper in a tent is shown, as they swing their flashlight from side to side and whisper that something is stalking the tent. The character begins to panic as the zipper on the tent’s flap is slowly undone by the unknown stalker. An inhuman voice says “help me” before a deformed creature violently rushes into the tent, attacking the character with the flashlight. Only brief glimpses of the killer’s face are shown, revealing a grotesque appearance. Fans have not recognized the monster as anything from apop culture tie-in forDbD, but many believe this original killer may be a skinwalker. More information is expectected to come on Tuesday, February 20.
While no official confirmation has been given, many have begun speculating that this original killer may be a form of skinwalker - a horrifying creature from North American folklore. Skinwalkers are known to mimic the voices of those familiar to their victims and even change their appearance to look more human. The “help me” voice line and sagging skin on the killer’s face seem to support the skinwalker speculations, though others have also suggested the possibility of it being a wendigo, SCP, or a wholly original concept. If the new killer is in fact a form of skinwalker, it would provide a unique opportunity for newgameplay mechanics inDead by Daylight. For now, fans are eagerly awaiting further details about this monstrous new addition toDead by Daylight.
AsDead by Daylightcontinues to add new survivors and killers, fans frequently celebrate the variety of character options in the game.
