New “Doomed Course” Chapter for ‘Dead by Daylight’ Arrives November 28
With the annual Haunted by Daylight event winding down today, Behaviour Interactive have announced the next Chapter for Dead by Daylight with Doomed Course, available today via the Steam public test build, and officially releasing on November 28. Doomed Course introduces The Houndmaster as a new Killer with her AI-controlled companion, and Taurie Cain as the new Survivor to The Fog.
Also known as Portia Maye, The Houndmaster “stands as one of the most unique and tragic characters to enter the Dead by Daylight universe.” Beginning life as a curious, kind-hearted girl, Portia’s mind was shattered when she was forced to witness the brutal torture and murder of her father at the hands of pirates in the 19th century. Consumed by her hatred, she grew up alone on the mysterious Dragon’s Tooth Island in the Bermuda Triangle, devoting her life to inflicting pain on those responsible. The only remaining tie to her humanity – the bond she shares with her hulking dog Snug, a gift from her father, who aids her in the hunt.
As Dead by Daylight’s first AI-controlled animal companion, Snug will serve to help Portia chase, track, and grip fleeing Survivors so she can finish the job. Players will have access to 2 distinct commands for Snug: Chase and Search. The Chase command sends Snug charging forward with the option to redirect him for additional control. If Snug catches a Survivor, he will drag them back towards The Houndmaster. The Search command additionally creates a Houndsense radius which widens as Snug moves, sniffing out and revealing any Survivor caught within its reach.
Meanwhile, Taurie Cain was born and raised in the Black Talon cabal, a clandestine cult dedicated to understanding and worshipping The Entity. Taurie lost her mother and brother exploring a Bleed – an overlap between our world and The Entity’s Realm. Taurie returned from the Bleed, her heart touched by darkness, more certain than ever that her destiny lay in serving The Entity. However, when The Fog finally came to take her, she discovered that her service would not come as a Killer… but a Survivor.
