There is a certain joke that Fortnite has too many collaborations. It is indeed the video game with the most collaborations. That doesn’t mean it’s not common among games as a service. And that other popular games, with a well-established fandom, even base their marketing even more on this kind of strategies. Like for example, the case of Dead By Daylight.
In fact, Behaviour Interactive, the game developer, has just announced which will be the next character they will add in a collaboration with the game. It’s Alan Wake, the writer protagonist of the homonymous franchise by Remedy Entertainment. Joining the roster of Dead By Daylight characters as a survivor, he brings with him all his knowledge about horror that he accumulated in his own games. And by that we mean that it is a game heavily based on light.
In this asymmetric multiplayer, our favorite fiction writer will have three powers: Champion of Light, Blessing: Illumination, and Deadline. The first one gives him more speed when illuminating the path with a flashlight, the second one creates a totem that allows all players to see the auras of generators and chests, and the last one increases the number of skill checks while healing survivors or repairing generators but reduces the penalty by 50% when injured.
In addition, no one can say that this is not the Alan Wake they know. To recreate him in the game, they have relied on the two actors who bring him to life: Ikka Villi, on whom his appearance is based, and Matthew Porretta, who lends his voice. As they did previously in another collaboration of Alan Wake, this time with the main culprit of these, Fortnite.
Alan Wake will arrive today to the test servers of Dead by Daylight on its Steam version. We will still have to wait a little longer for it to arrive on the official servers, so they can ensure that everything is correct in this herald of light. But when that moment comes, it will also be playable on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X.
