ALAN WAKE WILL HAVE TWO LEGENDARY SKINS BOTH WITH VOICE LINES: ROSE MERIGOLD AND A SPECIAL ALAN WAKE + A NEW DEAD BY DAYLIGHT GAME MODE LEAKED! (2024)

It has been a fiery few days for fans of dead by daylight because of speculation about the new survivor coming inside Behaviour Interactive's game.

Yesterday an initial teaser was posted on socials, and already people had actually figured out who it was thanks to its most recognizable element, the flashlight:

And today it was officially unveiled thanks in part to PTB where you can preview all the new content coming, including the new survivor, Alan Wake!

The collaboration with Alan Wake obviously makes a lot of sense commercially, the game came out a few months ago, they have collaborated with Fortnite, and now also with Dead by Daylight where you can also take advantage of the flashlight within gameplay, and in fact the perks are really about Alan Wake's use of the flashlight, but not only that:

For those who have never played Alan Wake, in short the flashlight is central to the gameplay because it allows you to eliminate shadows (monsters) that Alan faces during the game.

In the second game by the way, there are two playable characters, not only Alan but also Saga Anderson, who at this point may arrive sooner or later within Dead by Daylight as Alan Wake's legendary skin:

At launch Alan Wake will have two legendary skins that will both be dubbed and one of which is about Rose Merigold.

Some of voice lines leaked:

"I wonder… will I ever wake up?"
"Alan Help if you can hear me help"
"Alan where are you? I tried to stay strong."
"Rose Keep it together"
"Where’s Alan hiding?"
"Alan? Are you here?"
"My dreams… were they leading me here?"
"My visions weren't quite like this..."
"I shouldn't be here."
"Perhaps I'm dreaming again..."
"It's cold here..."
"I think someone's watching me..."
"There's no way out, is there?"
"Don't worry, Alan. I'll find you."
"I… it just feels so familiar."
"I don’t like the look of that. "
"Stay on track. Alan needs you"
"This place gives me the creeps.."
"What are we waiting for?"
"Somebody? Anybody?"

But the news regarding this PTB do not end there, in fact a lot of new things are coming within Dead by Daylight:

The main change concerns the solution to the 3 gen that remain at the end of a game when the killer controls all three at the same time and survivors never know how to succeed in completing them, the change made by Behaviour Interactive will allow killers to only kick a generator eight times, when a generator is kicked it will instantly regress by 5%, the moment a survivor goes to stop it, if it repairs 5% of its total charge, then the regression will stop, if on the other hand the survivor leaves the generator before completing 5% of its charge, then the generator will continue to regress.

By the time the killer has kicked the same generator 8 times, he will no longer be able to do so; this will help a lot during the end game.

The hillbilly has been upgraded by adding the 'overdrive' mechanic:
When the heat meter is full, his chainsaw goes into Overdrive and gets the following effects for the next 20 seconds:
- The chainsaw's charging speed increases by 5%.
- The movement speed of the chainsaw increases to 13 m/s.
- Sprint cooldowns of the chainsaw are reduced by 10%.
- Chainsaw Sprint basic movement speed is increased by 10%.
- Reduced the size of Chainsaw Collision Detection to make Chainsaw Sprints more maneuverable in maps with high density tiles.
- Camera sensitivity is no longer incorrectly tied to controller sensitivity setting when using mouse and keyboard. (Chainsaw controls are now at 100% sensitivity).

The Blight has received a nerf to his Add-Ons:

Adrenaline Vial will no longer decrease charge time nor does it make rushes 10% faster. It will now have new effects.

• Increases maximum Rush tokens by 2.
• Increases maximum Rush look angle by 20 degrees.
• Decreases Rush turn rate by 55%. Alhemist’s Ring:
• Increases Rush duration by 20% for each consecutive Rush. Compound Thirty Three:
• Each consecutive Rush which is longer than 4 meters increases turn rate by 33% Iri Blight Tag:
• Enables Rush to be performed without spending tokens.
• Rush bonuses are capped after 3 consecutive rushes.
• Blighted Corruption goes on cooldown for 20 seconds after a successful Lethal Rush attack.

Blighted Rat and Blighted Crow have been reduced to 2% and 3% respectively.

Perk Changes:

Also coming soon is a Ormond Layout Changes and a new mode within the game called Dead by Daylight - Lights Out that is not testable within tomorrow's PTB but will be available in the coming months.

To top it off, new characters (they should be legion, dwight on hook, meg, and trapper) are coming as Youtooz action figures:

To conclude, Tome 18 will be on Deathslinger and Alan Wake and there will be a new game mode called Dread by Daylight and that will be linked to four maps:

Family Residence
Treatment Theatre
Ormond
The Shattered Square

Excited about all this?
