In the latest public test build of Dead by Daylight, you can play as none other than Nicolas Cage. The famous actor's addition to Dead by Daylight as a new survivor was announced in May. Cage even stopped by to chat with Geoff Keighley during the Summer Game Fest to show even more footage of his appearance in the asymmetrical multiplayer game.
You can play as Nicolas Cage, as himself, in Dead by Daylight right now. You need only opt into the current Public Test Build through Steam only to give him a go. As this is technically a pre-release test, there may be some quirks here and there. If you would rather not deal with those, simply wait for the update to be pushed out to everyone at a later date.
That "later date" is July 25, 2023 at 12PM (ET). This is when the Nicolas Cage Chapter Pack will be released at the same time on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch Epic Games Store, Windows Store, and Steam.

Fans have watched him – now they can become him, enjoying three brand-new character Perks that open the door for engaging new gameplay:
- With Dramaturgy, players will allow their instincts to take over during moments of heightened intensity. They might not be able to predict the outcome, but that's what makes it so thrilling, isn’t it?
- Every actor needs a Scene Partner. When using this Perk, staring at the Killer will grant players a deeper insight into their process, allowing them to better anticipate their next move.
- Finally – a Plot Twist in the third act can really breathe new life into film and Trial alike. Players will use their second-to-none acting ability to get deeper into character than ever before, making a bold decision that’s as risky as it is rewarding.
