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, 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

Hillbilly's primary gimmick is this powerful charge, and it makes the rather "vanilla" character one of the strongest in the cast. Mastering this ability is what separates a solid Hillbilly from a novice

As "The Executioner," with powers, add-ons, and lore based specifically on his appearance in Silent Hill 2 , Richard said Pyramid Head's unique perks are optimized around stealth and deception. "There are perks that will allow you not to become 'invisible,' but to better surprise the player for their judgment. You'll be able to hide a little better, make them oblivious to your presence, and also lure them to specific places without them knowing you're the

Legion's ultimate ability, Feral Frenzy, simply gives the killer a massive speed boost in his walk speed. This allows the knife-wielding fiend to chase down Survivors trying to flee from the Killer with relative ease. When Feral Frenzy runs out Legion will be placed in a small cooldown period in which his movement speed is drastically decreased. At first glance, this move seems very lackluster in comparison to some of the other more intricate villains in the roster, but there is much more to the ability than a simple movement b

Michael Myers possesses an assortment of abilities that is unlike any other killer in Dead by Daylight strategy by Daylight. His assortment of unique abilities makes the towering figure as stoic, mysterious, and eerie as he is in his source material. Michael Myers provides fans of Dead by Daylight with a unique recon and aggressive playstyle that is as unique as Myers is intimidat

Getting to work with all of these different elements from the franchise is "practically a dream come true" for Richard, even though Cote said the "humbling" experience comes with a lot of pressure. Cote said the worst thing that can happen with a bad execution on their original characters is they have an uninteresting chapter, but screwing up Silent Hill — particularly after the fan hype behind games like P.T. — is "not really something you can get back up fr

To make Legion successful, a player simply needs to make use of his overwhelming strengths and sharpen them with useful perks. The combination of these mentioned quirks with his already oppressive Feral Frenzy makes this Killer one of the most offensive in the game. A perfect Killer for players who prefer a highly offensive and rush down oriented play sty

As you play Michael you obviously wish to get to Evil Within level 3 as soon as possible. It is what makes the character such a threat during a match and grants Michael Myers some needed buffs. However, a wise Michael Meyers player will hold onto a high level of Level 2 Evil Within Gauge in order to save Meyer's Evil Within 3 buffs for a guaranteed down. Rather than popping Level 3 Evil Within as soon as you get it, holding onto the major buff for when you know, you can land a guaranteed down is a solid strat

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

A very important aspect to Legion's Feral Frenzy is that when the Killer inflicts the Deep Wound status effect he gains two significant buffs. The first being that he maintains his Feral Frenzy buff, and can chain multiple Deep Wound attacks together to maintain his powerful buff. This makes Legion a hypermobile and incredibly quick killer able to essentially dominate a map's space with little to no difficulty. But arguably the most important aspect to Feral Frenzy is an ability related to the skill, and that is Legion's Killer Insti

"The world of the Entity, our own Killers, it's critical that we continue to enrich that and make it more powerful. [The visitors] need to add to it, to have a place to play that is interesting and fun, then they can interact. This is the only place you can live the fantasy of having Freddy Krueger chasing Steve Harrington from Stranger Things in the house that Michael Myers grew up
