Dead by Daylight creators Behaviour Interactive has partnered with Titan Comics to bring the game’s dark universe and gloomy horror to comic books.
The project is still in its early stages and is currently scheduled to release in March 2023.
Dead by Daylight is the hit console, PC and mobile game described as ‘the world’s deadliest game of hide and seek’ where one player plays as the killer while four others play as survivors – chosen from an expanding cast of cleverly designed characters – try to avoid the killer’s attention…
It’s been a smash hit with high-scoring reviews across the board and tens of thousands of fans. Now the franchise is expanding into the physical world of the fan-pleasing comic book.
Mathieu Côté, Head of Partnerships for Behaviour Interactive commented, “Comic books hold a special place in my heart as with many people on the team. What an awesome time for Dead by Daylight, appearing in this format for the first time. The Legion is quite an interesting set of characters. They are great to dig into since they embody the very universal themes of teen angst, rage and revenge. Seeing our stories and characters coming to life on the page is a wonderful feeling and we hope our fans will appreciate it as much as we do. Stay tuned!”
