Summary
A recent tease by Behaviour Interactive has lent credibility to a previousDead by Daylightleak that claimedCastlevania’s version of Dracula is a future Killer.Dead by Daylighthas managed to stay successful for so long thanks to regular content updates that add new content to the asymmetrical multiplayer horror game. While allDead by Daylightcontent updates are appreciated, the ones that generate the most buzz are those that add new Killers to the game.
NewDead by DaylightKillersare exciting because they add iconic horror movie characters to the game and give players new skills to master. Behaviour recently started teasing a crossover Killer that will be pulled from the world ofDungeons & Dragons, and it’s that tease that has potentially clued fans in on a Killer that’s supposedly coming to the game even further down the road.
It’s long been rumored thatDungeons & Dragons' Vecna will be joining theDead by Daylightroster of Killers. The new teaser has confirmed that theDungeons & Dragonscrossover is happening, with more information coming on May 14, but itstopped short of revealing Vecna. However, the fact that aD&Dcrossover is happening at all lends credibility to an old leak that claimedCastlevania’s Dracula is coming toDead by Daylight. The same leak accurately predicted Chucky and Alan Wake, and now it seems to have accurately predicted Vecna.
AssumingDead by Daylightdoes add Vecnato the game as the leak suggested, it seems highly likely that Dracula fromCastlevaniawill be next up to bat. The leak has accurately predicted multiple Killers in a row, so it’s safe to say that the leaker, Gumpy887, has legitimate insider information somehow. What makes this all even easier to believe is Konami’s willingness to license its franchises and characters to others.
Konami isn’t shy about licensing its IP, allowing its popular franchises to pop up in other games. That being said, the character Dracula is technically in the public domain, so one might wonder why Behaviour would cut a deal with Konami just to get the company’s version of the famous vampire. Like with otherDead by Daylightcrossovers, it seems likely that Dracula would just be the tip of the iceberg. One has to imagine that the crossover will likely extend to cosmetics and perhaps even a new map and new Survivor, making theCastlevaniacrossover more worth it for Behaviour, though all that’s been leaked so far is Dracula.
