Dead by Daylight’s next horror chapter will take place in the world of Silent Hill series

The next chapter of Dead by Daylight will bring us back to the familiar horror game series: Silent Hill. Behaviour Interactive has announced the next adventure with a new map, killer, survivor, inspired by Konami’s survival horror series.

If you’ve been wondering what iconic Silent Hill locations will be included in Dead by Daylight, you might be excited to know the main area in Silent Hill: Midwich Elementary. “The first time you come to this location in Silent Hill, you will feel the complete Silent Hill experience. It’s very scary, and fits perfectly in Dead by Daylight,” said creative director Dave Ricahrd.

According to the developer, the map has been recreated from the original, “so that Silent Hill fans can recognize the location perfectly”. It has many “secrets” associated with the puzzle in the original school and the symbols in Silent Hill.

As for murder, we will have a very familiar and scary face in the series. That’s Pyramid Head, the Executioner, appearing in Silent Hill 2. He’s “a brutal and unforgiving murderer who delivers punishment through pain,” the studio said during a press conference, “with the sword. his giant.”

He also has a new power, to create a different wind in the Dead by Daylight gameplay. Pyramid Head has a giant sword with a special attack: a ranged ability, allowing him to “use the dark powers of Silent Hill” to attack survivors from afar, giving them only a little time to react. and dodge it. Pyramid Head can also stick the sword in the ground “to create a trench in the level”. The player can move around to stay away from it, or deliberately run – and become “tormented” by the power of Silent Hill.

Another Silent Hill character who is also present in Dead by Daylight is Cheryl Mason, aka Heather Mason, the protagonist of Silent Hill 3. She is a “very strong and nasty protagonist”, being “present”. body of good”, and “reincarnation of two different souls”.

In Dead by Daylight, she possesses “several mechanics and perks” of her own. One of them allows Mason to have a bit of control over Entity, meaning you “could be the first survivor to control the powers of darkness”.

Also, for the first time in this chapter, Behavior introduces a new skin: Legendary. They are more than normal skins, allowing you to transform Mason into a character that is “completely different in appearance”. In this case it’s Lisa Garland, the nurse in the first Silent Hill.

“The good idea about Silent Hill and the team is that they use their own storyline, which we haven’t had in Dead by Daylight yet,” says Richard about why the Konami series fits the game’s 4vs1 world. “So this world is really exciting and the team really wants to explore it. They fit perfectly.”

“Pyramid Head in particular,” added game director Mathieu Cote, “is a character created not from the violence he suppresses, but from the tension that Pyramid Head creates – the waiting, scary, and most of all, feeling overwhelmed, disgusted when you turn around and see him.

“And that’s too much for Dead by Daylight, where most of the game’s ‘horror’ comes from slowly building tension.”

Dead by Daylight Silent Hill Chapter will premiere on June 16.
