A long-requested collaboration for Dead by Daylight is finally happening. Starting today in the Public Test Build (PTB) of Dead by Daylight, players will get to play as the Xenomorph from the Alien films. Not only that, but Ellen Ripley joins the game as a new Survivor. Then on top of all of that is a new map based on the Nostromo Wreckage.
If you aren't too keen to opt into the PTB to try out this Alien themed content early, you need only wait until August 29th when it will be officially released on all platforms.
This update will also include a new interactive map function. Control Stations will be scattered around the map. Players can interact with these Control Stations to get a new Tool, the Remote Flame Turret. Meanwhile, the Xenomorph has the ability to enter and exit tunnels underneath the Control Station. Tunnels that only the Killer can use are new and allow for the Killer to have increased mobility.
The Ultimate Survivor
As the sole survivor of the Nostromo, Ellen Ripley is strong-willed, level-headed, and determined. Having overcome relentless threats, she is the embodiment of resilience, making her an invaluable ally to any Survivor groups. She has faced the Xenomorph before and is now in the Entity’s hands. Her fate in this hostile place is still undecided – but there is hope.
“Get out of there!â€
Surrounded by vast, overwhelming shadows, an omnipresent feeling of dread is imbued with the new Map, Nostromo Wreckage. The Entity has reconstructed the Nostromo spaceship from Ripley’s memories, so that players can stalk – or be stalked – around the derelict and nightmarish craft. Players will rediscover the iconic ship as it incorporates memorable elements from the first Alien film with some unique Dead by Daylight twists.
New Survivor Tool: The Remote Flame Turret
Dead by Daylight: Alien introduces a new Survivor tool that can be used exclusively when facing the Xenomorph. The Remote Flame Turret’s defensive attack staggers the Xenomorph and can cause its unique Power to end. This tool complexifies gameplay as it requires Survivors to strategically place the Turret and activate it at the opportune time. Players will be kept on their toes as they will need to repair the tool if it overheats, and will be forced to protect it (and themselves) from the powerful Xenomorph, which can destroy the Turret. Who will make it out alive?
