Summary
AsDead by Daylightramps up celebrations for its ninth anniversary, the official Twitter account teases the next DLC chapter of the game. On May 14, the developers of the hit asymmetrical horror game plan to reveal more about the upcomingDead by DaylightDLC in a livestream unveiling the roadmap for the upcoming content cycle.
Weeks of speculation and leaks have left fans wondering about who exactly will feature inDead by Daylight’s 32nd chapter. In recent months, horror enthusiasts have been treated to a cacophony of movie icons making their way into The Fog, includingAlien’s vent-crawling vermin, The Xenomorph, as well asChild’s Play’s Chucky.
In a post to theDead by DaylightTwitter account, Behaviour Interactive has hinted at the new horrors in store for the game. The video shows a darkened dungeon cell, behind which a Beholder bursts from the shadows and screeches. The caption tells us to “Listen closely to the voice in the darkness…” and sure enough, a cruel laugh echoes through the halls as theDungeons & Dragonstitle card envelops the screen.
This video seemingly confirms the long-held suspicions among fans that a classicDungeons & Dragonscharacter will be making an appearance inDead by Daylight– Vecna. Instead of the character made iconic by the fourth season ofStranger Things, the Vecna that is set to appear inDead by Daylightis true to the Litch King ofDungeons & Dragonssource material, and is likely designed to tie intoD&D’s 50th anniversary adventure,Vecna: Eve of Ruin.
This may come as a small disappointment to fans who were expecting to see a follow-up toDead by Daylight’sStranger ThingsChapter, which triumphantly returned to the game in November after a 3-year absence due to licensing issues.
Following a leak late last year that alleged that both Chucky and Alan Wake would appear in The Fog, the same poster correctly predicted that, specifically,D&D’s Vecna would be the next chapter, then followed byDracula fromCastlevania. With two of their leaks being right on the money, it’s very likely that come May 14 we’ll learn more about the new Killer in the Entities’ Realm, Vecna.
Fans don’t have long to wait to find out about the validity of these claims, as Behaviour Interactive’s upcoming anniversary livestream will spill all the juicy details on Chapter 32 –Dungeons & Dragons.
