Dead By Daylight Killer Guide: Michael Myers

One major way Pyramid Head is able to try and drive his victims where he wants them to be is through a new mechanic called trench drawing. By planting his giant knife into the ground, Pyramid Head can create a trench that forces Survivors to make a choice: Find another way to a particular location, or wade through the trench and become inflicted with the "Tormented" status. While a Survivor is under the effects of "Torment," if Pyramid Head puts them in a dying state he can begin the sacrifice sequence without a hook. He traps them in the "Cage of Atonement" bed contraption from Silent Hill 2 , and Richard said he can execute them on the spot through a power called "the Final Judgment" before moving to a new victim. However, Survivors can still be rescued and escape from the Cage of Atonem


These themes are what carry into Dead by Daylight , where Pyramid Head is called "The Executioner" and serves as a judge for every Survivor — including Cheryl, or Heather Mason from Silent Hill 3 . According to Richard, "The first three Silent Hill games were mind-blowing and always in the back of my mind ... It just made sense for me to pick elements, the most iconic things, from each of the titles and make a big Silent Hill package." While Midwich Elementary School is a recreation of its PlayStation 1 iteration, Pyramid Head's model is similarly based on his PlayStation 2 origins, recreated with modern technology — though the monster has appeared in more recent iterations as a sort of mascot for the ser


Now the game is taking its first foray into a realm of horror only previously touched upon with a small collaboration: video games. To celebrate its fourth anniversary, Dead by Daylight is working with Konami to license out characters, a locale, and more from the world of Silent Hill . The crossover for Chapter 16 was officially unveiled during a broadcast today and will be officially released on PC and consoles June 16. Game Rant sat down with Behaviour's Game Director Mathieu Cote, Creative Director Dave Richard, and Head of Public Relations Marie Claude Bernard last week to discuss the ins-and-outs of representing a beloved franch

While developing the Silent Hill Chapter, Behaviour found out that Silent Hill 's original composer Akira Yamaoka was a fan of the asymmetrical horror game, Cote said. Because Yamaoka was still on friendly terms with Konami, he was invited to re-imagine Dead by Daylight 's soundtrack "in the very recognizable Silent Hill flavor" alongside Behaviour's compo


To celebrate its fourth anniversary, Dead by Daylight is adding Pyramid Head from Konami's Silent Hill franchise to this esteemed pantheon. While the developers have previously incorporated content from Valve's Left 4 Dead in the form of a new Survivor and alternate costumes, this will be the first time an entire Chapter complete with a Killer, Survivor, and map is based on a video game. Before Behaviour's official reveal today, Game Rant sat down with Game Director Mathieu Cote, Kill Switch System Creative Director Dave Richard, and Head of Public Relations Marie Claude Bernard to talk about what Pyramid Head will offer in service of the Ent


Midwich will be a unique addition to Dead by Daylight because it is a reimagining of the original PlayStation 1 map using modern technology. Richard said usually the developers have to interpret a location fans have seen in films and television, but those who have played Silent Hill will find Dead by Daylight 's take nearly identical — including "winks to the franchise" like remade jump scares and puzzles that don't typically appear in the asymmetrical horror g


To mitigate Legion's slow starts to matches using perks such as Barbeque and Chili can allow the Killer necessary recon to get things going in his favor as well. This allows Legion to see Survivor's in a nearby radius after he hooks a Survivor. A powerful ability that allows him to truly begin his pressure. Nurses' Calling also synergizes extraordinarily well with his Deep Wound ability, as Survivors are forced to heal and mend the status effect away, allowing this Killer to maintain extraordinary pressure on a group of Surviv


Legendary Outfits are "for sure" something the developers will utilize down the line and may also be applied to previous content according to Cote. However "anything licensed is always extremely delicate," so the team would not be able to comment on whether skins for those properties would be coming until they are ready to be announced. Dead by Daylight is also adding typical cosmetics for Pyramid Head and Heather Mason into the store on the day the new chapter releases, but with a more extensive scope. Richard said it has been hard to add cosmetics for licensed characters like Freddy Krueger because they have a specific "look," but the Silent Hill characters will get original, unique outfits designed in-house by Behaviour through its partnership with Kon
