Space will be the next frontier of Dead by Daylight, the asymmetric multiplayer horror game that, one by one, is bringing together the best and most important horror sagas in the history of cinema. Next up is Alien. Behaviour Interactive announced today, with this teaser, that Alien, the 20th Century Fox saga created by Ridley Scott, will come to Dead by Daylight in a future expansion, where we will face the xenomorph. On August 8 there will be more information about this expansion, available on all Dead by Daylight platforms, namely PS5, Xbox Series X, Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4 and also Xbox One.
Previously, Dead By Daylight had crossovers with other horror movies, series or videogames: Nightmare on Elm Street, Evil Dead, Halloween, Resident Evil, Saw, Stranger Things… However, its last expansion was not based on any particular movie or series, but its protagonist was Nicolas Cage, himself, who has starred in some horror movies like Color out of Space, Mandy or Renfield, parodying Christopher Lee's Dracula.
It remains to be seen if we will be able to control Ripley as a new skin, with the appearance of Sigourney Weaver, or if it will simply be a map on a Weyland ship, like the Sulaco, with the xenomorph at our heels… or controlling it if we are the hunter.
In fact, there are not many Alien games in which we can play with the xenomorphs. Predator, for example, but the most common is to play with the marines, as in Aliens Dark Descent, a tactical action game. But what we really want is Alien Isolation 2, or a similar survival horror that makes us feel the tension that an invincible creature chase you.
