Things just never get un-spooky for poor Alan Wake, who’s now set to arrive in Dead By Daylight on January 30 as the game’s latest crossover survivor, following all that fun he had in Alan Wake 2 late last year.
Following a trail blazed by luminaries like Chucky and Nicholas Cage, Wake is involved in DBD’s next chapter as part of a cool collaboration between Behaviour Interactive and Remedy Entertainment, both of which know a thing or two about the whole horror game thing. Naturally, he’s even got a bunch of unique perks to help you escape those pesky killers.
“Since it first launched back in 2010, Alan Wake has been a huge influence to us on the Dead by Daylight team,” Behaviour Interactive head of partnerships Mathieu Coté said of the character’s arrival. He added that due to the numerous similarities between the two games and how well Wake fits with Dead By Daylight’s established world, “to finally see Alan come to the Fog as a Survivor feels like a full-circle moment.”
