Behaviour Interactive is bringing yet another crossover to Dead by Daylight, this time adding three characters from AMC’s The Walking Dead: Rick Grimes, Michonne, and Daryl Dixon. These new additions are already available on the Dead by Daylight PTB, and the full chapter will be released on July 29.

Dead by Daylight’s horror setting has made it possible to collaborate with some of the biggest franchises in horror, gaming, and pop culture. Since its 2016 release, it has featured iconic killers and survivors from Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Saw, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Stranger Things, Silent Hill, Resident Evil, and many more. These collaborations bring all kinds of thematic content to the title, such as playable characters, maps, and unique perks. Now, fans are about to be treated to yet another crossover.

A known leaker reveals that Dead by Daylight may feature yet another collaboration with the massively popular Resident Evil franchise.

Dead by Daylight’s new chapter is based on the popular AMC series The Walking Dead. The collaboration will add The Walking Dead’s characters Rick Grimes and Michonne as survivors. Daryl Dixon is also joining the game, though he will come as a Legendary Outfit for Rick, featuring voice acting from popular Hollywood actor Norman Reedus. Rick Grimes will also feature voice acting from Andrew Lincoln. In addition to this, there are new outfits for both Rick and Michonne, inspired by some key moments from the show.

What Characters from The Walking Dead Are Coming to Dead by Daylight?

  • Rick Grimes (Survivor)
  • Michonne (Survivor)
  • Daryl Dixon (as a Legendary Outfit for Rick, functioning as a separate character in-game)

Each character has specific perks. Playing as Rick, players will be able to replace a Broken Pallet with a Fragile Pallet when searching a chest, which gives them better chances to slow down the killer. Moreover, after players unhook a survivor, they can use an ability that makes all nearby injured and dying Dead by Daylight survivors completely silent and hides their blood pools. Finally, Rick’s last perk enables players to hide grunts of pain, scratch marks, and blood pools if they are injured and another survivor has stunned or blinded the killer. Michonne’s perks focus more on teamwork and survival, allowing her to do things like potentially recovering instantly while downed if she’s been healing others, surprise-stunning the killer by fast vaulting near them after spending time in their terror radius, or boosting nearby injured teammates by giving them endurance.

In addition to all this, Behaviour is also adding a special map tile to the Garden of Joy map, featuring iconic Walking Dead locations, like the prison and the “Don’t Open, Dead Inside” hospital doors. As players await the full release on July 29, they have a lot to look forward to in the upcoming Dead by Daylight: The Walking Dead chapter.
