Behaviour Interactive continues to bring more and more licenses to The Fog, and today, they’ve announced Dead by Daylight will be bringing AMC’s The Walking Dead into the fold.
Dead by Daylight has just uncorked a whole mess of zombies just in time for the summer. The next Behaviour Interactive crossover event features AMC’s hit survival horror series, The Walking Dead, and the crossover event sees some of the most recognizable characters injected into The Fog. The latest chapter adds Rick Grimes and Michonne as Survivors, with a Legendary Outfit from The Walking Dead Collection that brings fan-favourite Daryl Dixon into the action.
The new survivors bring six unique character Perks that emphasize teamwork, and the character additions include original voice acting from Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes) and Norman Reedus (Daryl Dixon) for complete The Walking Dead immersion. An official release trailer for the epic crossover has been launched and it can be seen below.
Dead by Daylight x The Walking Dead – Rick Grimes & Michonne Unique Perks
Both of the characters from The Walking Dead emphasize teamwork as is shown in the hit series, and Rick Grimes channels his leadership skills while inside of Dead by Daylight‘s Fog. Below are Rick’s and Michonne’s unique perks, detailed by Behaviour Interactive.
- Apocalyptic Ingenuity – Rummage through Chests to gain the ability to replace a Broken Pallet with a Fragile Pallet.
- Come and Get Me! – After Unhooking a Survivor, while crouched and idle you may use an Ability to make all nearby injured and dying Survivors completely silent and hide their Pools of Blood. In exchange, you’ll scream and briefly reveal your Aura to the Killer.
- Teamwork: Toughen Up – When another nearby Survivor Pallet stuns or blinds the Killer while you’re injured, your Grunts of Pain, Scratch Marks, and Pools of Blood will be completely reduced for a duration.
Michonne has a unique perk with the same name as Rick, but it functions in a completely different manner, adding synergy to the teamwork between both survivors.
- Conviction – Heal Survivors to activate Conviction. While recovering in the Dying State, gain the ability to instantly recover for a brief window. You will become Broken and return to the Dying State if you don’t manage to heal in time.
- Last Stand – After spending in the Killer’s Terror Radius while not in chase, Fast-Vault while near the Killer to stun them for a duration.
- Teamwork – Toughen Up: Successfully pallet stun a Killer to temporarily give nearby injured Survivors Endurance and reveal the Killer’s Aura to them.
New Dead by Daylight x The Walking Dead Collection features new outfits for the two new characters. These include the Legendary Daryl Dixon Outfit, which brings Daryl into The Fog as a new character, Rick’s Last Day On Earth Outfit, his Brutal Awakening Outfit, and several Uncommon recolours. Michonne is given The Next World Outfit, the What We Become Outfit, and several Uncommon recolours like Rick. Interestingly, unlike previous crossovers The Walking Dead doesn’t feature a Killer from the series, so fans unfortunately don’t have to contend with another grave adversary like with Vecna from Dungeons & Dragons.
The Walking Dead start roaming Dead by Daylight with the full Chapter release on July 29. Fans can check out the official website for more information.
