‘Dead By Daylight’ Turns up The Blight With New Skins For ‘Resident Evil’ And ‘Silent Hill’, Including James Sunderland!
With Behaviour Interactive’s annual Halloween event for Dead by Daylight, it’s always cool to see just what the Killers are going to look like after being infected by The Blight. For this year, crossover franchises in Silent Hill and Resident Evil get some cool new costumes, and in Silent Hill’s case, a new character!
Available in the game’s store for Silent Hill fans are the Pyramid Blight Set for Pyramid Head and the James Sunderland set, which have been marked as Very Rare and Legendary skins.
“As one of the original characters in the Silent Hill series, James Sunderland has been in the works for quite a long time,” product store manager Rose Li said. “Things happen, deadlines shift to accommodate different content, and even though this was a release we had first envisioned for July, Halloween actual feels like the perfect moment to bring James into our game along with a grisly new look for Pyramid Head.”
As for Resident Evil fans, they’ll be pleased get the new Resident Evil Collection, which includes a brand-new Nemesis Blight Set, marked as Very Rare. Also included in the collection are skins for Chris Redfield, Claire Redfield, Jill Valentine and Leon Kennedy.
“[Chris, Claire, Jill and Leon] are so popular and iconic that we wanted to figure out a way where we wouldn’t have to choose,” explains Rose Li. “So, we decided to make all four of them, even though it meant almost double the work, so that players could join forces as a full Resident Evil team to take on The Nemesis. And this Halloween they’ll need all the help they can get now that the Blight has taken hold of the Nemesis within the Entity’s Realm!”
The new Nemesis Blight Set and the Resident Evil Collection are also available now via the in-game store.
Retroware surprised everyone last year with the announcement that they’re working on a throwback beat-’em-up based on the Toxic Crusaders cartoon. Grab your mop and get ready: the side-scrolling beat ’em up game is heading our way later this year.
Toxic Crusaders is now available to preorder on Steam, with the game set for Fall 2024 release. Exact date TBA.
Developer and publisher Retroware has teamed up with Troma Entertainment to bring the characters from the 1991 cartoon “Toxic Crusaders” back, for an all-new, all-action beat ’em up for one to four players.
In the game, “When the evil Dr. Killemoff attacks, only one team of hideously deformed creatures of superhuman size and strength stands between him and his plans for global pollution: the Toxic Crusaders, Earth’s last, greatest and ugliest hope for survival! Battle across seven disgusting levels rendered in vibrant pixel art as you defend Tromaville from hordes of Radiation Rangers, mutated thugs and zombie chickens. The odds might be stacked against you but with awesome powers, a winning personality, and up to four-players on your side, the Smogulan Empire’s days are numbered!
“Choose from seven playable characters, including Toxie, No-Zone, Junkyard, Major Disaster, and Headbanger – plus, for the first time, play as Toxie’s musically “gifted” girlfriend Yvonne, and the mother of all mothers, Mrs. Junko, Toxie’s mom!”
Considering this is set in Tromaville, it’s a safe bet that we’ll see more Troma characters beyond the Crusaders here. Toxic Crusaders will also feature fully voice-acted motion comic cutscenes, featuring voice acting by TeamFourStar, industry veterans, and of course, Troma actors.
Check out the gameplay demo below for a closer look at the Toxic Crusaders in action.
Toxic Crusaders is coming soon to Xbox Series X + S, Playstation 4 + 5, Steam, Nintendo Switch, and the Epic Games Store. But you can wishlist on Steam in the meantime.
