[Trailer] New ‘Dead By Daylight’ Chapter Introduces a Tormented Artist, a Hacker, And Crows
As expected, Behaviour Interactive pulled back the curtain on the “Portrait of a Murder” chapter for Dead By Daylight, revealing a new Killer, a new Survivor, and a new map. Currently available only on the Public Test Servers, the next chapter is expected to go live later this month.
The new Killer this time around is an original creation in The Artist. Formerly known as Carmina Mora, The Artist in life was a “gifted but tormented” painter, whose art touched more than a few nerves in her native Chile, resulting in her hands and tongue being removed. Now, thanks to The Entity, she’s back for vengeance with a murder of crows in tow.
Also introduced is Jonah Vasquez, the new Survivor. A mathematical genius, Vasquez worked as a codebreaker for the CIA before The Fog took him. The most notable of his Perks is Corrective Action, which when working with a fellow Survivor on the same generator as Vasquez, allows him to turn a failed Skill Check into a good Skill Check.
The new map is the Eyrie of Crows, which is located in the Forsaken Boneyard Realm. The map features a towering crypt, complete with a murder of crows watching your every move.
In addition to the new Chapter, Behaviour Interactive also announced that Dead by Daylight and all its previously-released DLCs (sans the Stranger Things DLC) will arrive on the Epic Games Store in December, with support for cross-platform play and progression with the other PC versions.
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.
