Get Hooked On The First ‘Dead By Daylight’ Screen
A few weeks ago, Behaviour Interactive announced their decision to take a break from their usual routine so they can get some blood on their hands with the asymmetrical multiplayer horror game Dead By Daylight. The PC exclusive slasher game follows four teens as they try to keep a masked psychopath from ventilating their abdomens with something pointy.
If that sounds familiar, it’s because they’re joining Illfonic and Elastic Games — the makers of Friday the 13th: The Game and Last Year, respectively — in a race to bring the slasher genre to video games. Unlike those games, Dead By Daylight will sample other genres, including the supernatural.
Since Dead By Daylight was the last to be announced, it’s also the one we know the least about. It has already begun to distinguish itself from the competition by putting a greater emphasis on replayability, which will be aided by using procedurally generated environments and multiple killers, though only one can be active at a time.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
