For those Dead by Daylight Steam players who haven’t jumped on the Playable Test Build to give Jason Voorhees a whirl before he stalks the asymmetrical horror game in a matter of weeks, Behaviour Interactive is giving you an idea of what you’re missing with a new short-but sweet trailer posted to X.
Focusing on the idea that you’ll never see Jason coming, the trailer touches on one of his abilities in Omnipresent Evil—a stealth-based ability that encapsulates the Killer’s knack for popping up in unexpected places to catch his victims off guard. Activating Omnipresent Evil causes Jason to vanish from the Map entirely, allowing him to move at increased speed while giving Survivors zero clues as to his whereabouts. While invisible, Jason can track his prey through faint visual cues like footsteps.
Jason’s other ability taps into his signature creativity when it comes to kills in Improvised Carnage. Scattered throughout the Map are containers filled with makeshift projectiles. Jason can pick up and throw these items with devastating force. Unlike other ranged Killers, each projectile must be gathered individually and will only be replenished the next time Jason enters Omnipresent Evil, adding a layer of strategy to their use.
Jason, known in the game as The Slasher, will be arriving in Dead by Daylight on June 16 for PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch.
