Dead by Daylight has teamed up with Junji Ito, a master of creating surreal horror manga designs and stories. The newly released Junji Ito Collection adds in eight outfits inspired by some of Ito's "most memorable characters."
Probably the most widely known work of Ito amongst the general public is The Enigma of Amigara Fault. Other highly regarded works from Ito include The Hanging Balloons, Greased, House of the Marionettes, and Uzumaki just to name a few.
I'm reading that there are a handful of regions where players are unable to purchase or access the Junji Ito collection. Keep that in mind if you go searching for it and are unable to find any of the new designs in your game.
I'm not a fan of Dead by Daylight per se, but these designs are fantastic and look to fit perfectly within that universe.
Surreal, psychological, and always visually arresting, Ito’s stories have garnered a well-deserved 4 Eisner Awards for creative achievement in American comic books. Much in the same way that Dead by Daylight mines every aspect of horror through a range of original and iconic characters, Ito’s work also explores multiple horror subgenres including body horror, cosmic horror, black comedy, and more.
From a human marionette puppeted through the world on strings, to a man able to produce and spit nails from his mouth, Ito’s characters range from the unsettling to the unthinkable. A perfect fit to join the rest of the tortured souls lost in The Fog.
