‘Silent Hill’ Character Cybil Bennett Joins ‘Dead by Daylight’ With New Skin Available Now

Published

on

Earlier this year, Behaviour Interactive and Konami joined forces to bring Silent Hill into slasher game Dead by Daylight, with the update chapter including a new killer (Pyramid Head), a new map (Midwich Elementary School) and a new survivor (Cheryl Mason).

As an update to that exciting new chapter, it’s been announced today that Cheryl Mason’s Cybil Bennett Set is now available in Dead by Daylight‘s in-game store!

Police officer Cybil Bennett was one of the main characters in the original Silent Hill video game, played by Laurie Holden in the 2006 film adaptation of the game.

In Dead by Daylight: Silent Hill, “Midwich Elementary School is the scene of unspeakable horrors. Any sense of the innocence that once marked these halls is gone. In its place: stained walls, rusted chains, hanging cadavers and a sense that things have gone horribly wrong. Pyramid Head, known as The Executioner, is a sadistic and merciless killer fixated on dispensing punishment through pain. Never without his hulking great blade in tow, Pyramid Head has stepped into the fog to fulfill his nefarious duty. Cheryl Mason, previously known as Heather, is the Chapter’s newest survivor. Having freed herself from the religious cult that had pursued her since birth, she now must fight an eternal battle in the Entity’s realm.”

Dead by Daylight is an asymmetrical multiplayer horror game where one player takes on the role of a brutal Killer and the other four play as Survivors. As a Killer, your goal is to sacrifice as many Survivors as possible. As a Survivor, your goal is to escape and avoid being killed.

Final Post-launch Update “Master of Fate” Now Available for ‘Lords of the Fallen’ [Trailer]

Published

on

CI Games and HEXWORKS have today launched v1.5 for their dark fantasy action-RPG Lords of the Fallen, titled Master of Fate”. This latest content update for Lords of the Fallen is available on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series, and delivers the final milestone of the game’s post-launch roadmap in the form of the advanced game modifier system.

Master of Fate imbues power directly into players’ hands, allowing them to fully customise their game experience. Among the seven different modifiers available to players, for example, are randomised enemy spawns and loot drops, and an Ironman mode. These three modifiers effectively turn Lords of the Fallen into a roguelite.

“We’d like to thank the many players who have embarked upon Mournstead since we launched six months ago; their belief in our vision has been a real driving force for us,” explains Saul Gascon, Executive Producer and Head of Studio, HEXWORKS. “In response to their support for the game, we expanded the period of live support for Lords of the Fallen with an ambitious post-launch roadmap. This was built around four significant content updates, alongside numerous smaller releases, which included tons of new content and quality of life patches. Reaching v1.5 with the Master of Fate update and its genuinely groundbreaking modifier system marks the completion of that roadmap, making the Lords of the Fallen experience the best it’s ever been.”

Master of Fate features a wide range of modifiers, enabling players to tweak and customise playthroughs for a truly unique experience every time, including:

  • Random enemy spawn: Every encounter becomes completely unpredictable with every playthrough, with any of the 70+ enemy types capable of appearing at any point
  • Random loot spawn: Players will never know what item they’ll pick up next, as any weapon, piece of armour, or item can be randomly found throughout Mournstead
  • Ironman: For the ultimate “git gud” challenge; get slain in Umbral with this modifier enabled and players will have to start their journey again, albeit with items and character level intact.
  • Withered healing: Health items and spells will only replenish as withered healing, which can only be regained fully by dealing damage to enemies, encouraging aggressive play to survive.
  • Mob density modifier: Adjust the density of enemy mobs encountered through the journey across Mournstead in both Axiom and Umbral

If all of that wasn’t enough, To celebrate the launch of Master of Fate, PlayStation players can currently enjoy a 50% discount on the game for a limited time, while both standard and deluxe editions of Lords of the Fallen will be available on Steam at a 50% discount starting on April 29th as part of CI Games’ Steam Publisher Sale.
