Dead by Daylight Details Upcoming Castlevania Collaboration
Dead by Daylight shares various gameplay inclusions and specific details regarding the upcoming collaboration with Castlevania.
Dead by Daylight shared footage of the newly available skin for Survivor Ellen Ripley. Although billed as the Alien: Romulus Collection, the release only includes a Rain skin for Ripley. Rain is the main character of Alien: Romulus, and this content coincides with the promotion of the movie. Surprisingly, the skin is very accurate, and even includes the actual likeness and voice of actor Cailee Spaeny. This is contrary to the Ellen Ripley model, which did not feature Sigourney Weaver.

While many fans of the game and the franchise applauded the decision regarding the timely introduction of an Alien: Romulus skin to Dead by Daylight, some felt that the collection lacked content. Users from the comments section were asking if an Alien skin would also be coming out. A few asked if there could also be other Legendary skins that could be included. Still, with Alien considered as one of Dead by Daylight's best collaborations, there's a possibility Behaviour could consider adding more content from the series.
With the Alien franchise having a long list of films in its catalog, the list of characters and skins that could be introduced in the future is quite long. From fan-requested costumes such as the Astronaut outfit, to famous characters such as Corporal Hicks and Private Hudson, there's a whole slew of content that could be added in the future if Dead by Daylight decides to dig deeper and continue working with the Alien franchise.
