‘Dead by Daylight’ Adding Bewitching New Survivor Next Month
With the arrival of Pinhead in Dead by Daylight, you’d expect that Kirsty Cotton would follow as a Survivor. Sadly, that’s not the case (at least for now). However, Dead by Daylight is instead getting a supernatural Survivor in teenage witch Mikaela Reid.
As you might expect, Mikaela will be joining the rest of the Survivors in October as part of The Hour of the Witch update. Not much else has been revealed for the new survivor, though you can expect that she’ll be arriving in conjunction with Dead by Daylight‘s annual Halloween festivities.
A month after hitting the PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series, Fancy Games and Blackbird Interactive’s Escape The Backrooms has landed on the Nintendo Switch 2. And like the PS5 and Xbox, the Switch 2 version of Escape The Backrooms includes the the Winter Wanderer and Chinese New Year cosmetic items, with more content to be added in the future.
No-clip beyond the bounds of reality and explore haunting liminal spaces, from iconic yellow hallways and echoing pool rooms to horrific hotels and bone-chilling birthday parties. Wander solo or with up to three friends in online co-op, hunting for exits to help you descend further into the Backrooms. Beware, as those teammates who no-clip into other areas of the map leave every member of your team must find the exit alive to escape.
Luckily, you can communicate with your teammates with proximity voice chat. However, the terrifying entities that stalk your every move and hear your every conversation, so stay quiet whenever you’re near any danger.
The Backrooms are only seemingly endless… right? Find out for yourself by returning to the Backrooms to uncover secret levels and unlock new endings. Test yourself in Nightmare Mode, where a single death leads to a full restart.
You can also grab Escape The Backrooms on Steam, which currently has a 20% discount during the Steam Summer Sale.
