The teasing by Behaviour Interactive yesterday on X didn’t lie: Alan Wake is coming to Dead by Daylight! Fresh from last year’s accolades, the author heads into the fog in the latest chapter for the asymmetrical horror game on January 30th. Wake is voiced once again by Matthew Porretta and based on the likeness of Ilkka Villi. The announcement is accompanied by a new trailer showing Alan Wake working at his typewriter as the fog rolls in.
“We are thrilled to bring Alan Wake, our tortured writer, into the acclaimed Dead by Daylight. We feel the lore of our two horror experiences is a match made in the Dark Place and can’t wait to experience the horrors that await him in the Fog,” says Sam Lake, Creative Director of Remedy Entertainment.
As you might expect, Wake’s perks are callbacks to his own time in Bright Falls, starting with his Champion of Light perk, which grants you additional movement speed while shining a Flashlight. If you successfully Blind a Killer, they will gain the Hindered Status Effect, temporarily slowing them down. Boon: Illumination allows Wake to create a Boon Totem, which grants all nearby Survivors the ability to see the Auras of Generators and Chests across the Map. When you have a lit Boon Totem, you’ll also Cleanse and Bless Totems faster.
Lastly, there’s Deadline, which activates when you’re injured, upping the frequency of Skill Checks while Healing Survivors or Repairing Generators. Should you happen to miss a Skill Check, the penalty will be halved.
More info is expected on the upcoming Alan Wake Chapter for Dead by Daylight in the near future.
Dead by Daylight is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store and the Windows Store.
