New ‘Dead by Daylight’ Trailer Spotlights Upcoming ‘Alan Wake’ Chapter and Perks [Watch]

Published

on

Behaviour Interactive dropped their surprise last week regarding Alan Wake making the leap to Dead by Daylight later this month. Now they’ve released a new Spotlight trailer for the upcoming Chapter, highlighting Alan Wake’s character Perks that players will be able to use. It’s also narrated by Alan Wake’s voice actor Matthew Porretta, who will also be reprising his role as the tortured writer in the DLC.

As was touched on when the Alan Wake Chapter was announced, Wake has access to three unique Perks: Champion of Light, Boon: Illumination, and Deadline.

Champion of Light grants players additional movement speed while shining a Flashlight. If you successfully Blind a Killer with the Flashlight, they will be affected by the Hindered Status Effect, slowing them down. Pairing this Perk with Haddie Kaur’s Residual Manifest will further compromise the Killer with the Blindness Status Effect.

With the Boon: Illumination Perk, Alan Wake is able to create a Boon Totem, which grants all nearby Survivors the ability to see the Auras of Generators and Chests across the Map. As an additional effect, when you have a lit Boon Totem, you’ll also Cleanse and Bless Totems faster. Pairing this Perk with Haddie Kaur’s Overzealous will raise your efficiency on Generators after scoping them out.

Lastly there’s Deadline, which activates when you’re injured. Doing so will increase the frequency of Skill Checks while Healing Survivors or Repairing Generators. Should you happen to miss one, the penalty will be halved. Using this Perk with synergistic Skill Check-related Perks will come in handy when in a pinch.

Still no details yet on what the new Chapter will cost, or if Alan Wake will have alternate costumes and a new map in tow.

Dead by Daylight is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store and the Windows Store. Dead by Daylight: Alan Wake will arrive January 30 on consoles and PC.

Cult of the Lamb players will be getting more free goodies later this summer with the Unholy Alliance update. Coming August 12, the update introduces a brand new playable character in the Goat, which coincides with the game allowing local co-op.

With the Unholy Alliance update, the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign will be playable in local co-op. Players will also be able to enjoy special 2-player versions of existing mini-games, such as Fishing and Knucklebones, as well as choose from a selection of weapons, tarot cards, curses, and corrupted relics as your cooperative crusades progress.

The Lamb and Goat can also swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back to back, and even deliver a critical hit when their attacks are in sync. Good news for those who prefer to stay alone in their corner: they will be able to benefit from various new powers.

In addition to the addition of cooperative play, the Unholy Alliance expansion adds several tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, character traits and quests, as well as the addition of new secrets to discover.
