Dead By Daylight
Dead By Daylight is getting another crossover with a very popular anime coming right into the fog of the universe in Dead By Daylight
Fans of the Tokyo Ghoul manga and anime are going to need to start to get excited, as that is the next big crossover we are about to get here in Dead By Daylight. A bit of the world as well as Behaviour offering up a new Killer and a new Survivor based all around this IP. Which, I am guessing, most fans will have put together that Dead By Daylight will be getting The Ghoul and Ken Kaneki respectively in the game. At least when all of this kicks off on April 2nd on the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Switch, and PC. Just about a week from now and we can have a new kind of horror in our horror multiplayer game out there.
We are going to need to wait until the launch of all of this into Dead By Daylight to see it fully in motion, but we do have a solid tease at how it will feel when we are running for our lives in the matches from The Ghoul. Not just running but also dodging all of the tentacles that the Killer will have at their employ in the match and other various perks that will bolster strength and killing prowess. Thankfully, this one does look like it will not be that much of a stealth Killer in Dead By Daylight, so we should always know when we will need to run for our lives and keep all of our flesh still hanging on our bones. Have a look at the CG video we have for all of this and then get ready to add this IP to the massive list that is already in the game.
Dead By Daylight — Tokyo Ghoul
Teeth gnash, grinding and gorging until nothing is left. A black and scarlet eye blazes above a grotesque grin. The screams turn to gurgles as his victims plead for mercy that will never come.
Dead By Daylight: Tokyo Ghoul is coming.
Trapped forever in a realm of eldritch evil where even death is not an escape, four determined Survivors face a bloodthirsty Killer in a vicious game of nerve and wits. Pick a side and step into a world of tension and terror with horror gaming’s best asymmetrical multiplayer.
Meet The Ghoul
Boasting a dark, complex narrative punctuated by moments of brutal violence, Tokyo Ghoul and its hero, Ken Kaneki, come to Dead By Daylight overflowing with themes familiar to the game, as well as compelling new ones to explore. What better way to do so than by taking a conflicted character and magnifying his most primal impulses?
Considering Ken Kaneki is Tokyo Ghoul’s protagonist, fans of the franchise may be surprised to learn that he’s entered The Fog as Dead By Daylight’s newest Killer, The Ghoul. In the original story of Tokyo Ghoul, following a near-fatal accident, the unassuming Kaneki receives a life-saving organ transplant – from a Ghoul. He awakens a half-human, half-Ghoul hybrid forced to feed on human flesh to survive while desperately fighting to retain what remains of his humanity.
After narrowly surviving unimaginable torture at the hands of the Ghoul, Jason, Kaneki’s mind had already been pushed to the breaking point. He emerged from his ordeal alive, only to be swallowed by black Fog, taken by The Entity and set loose within its Trials. Here his Ghoulish nature took over, fueled by a cold cruelty and a hunger for flesh.
Not only does this shift make Kaneki an intriguing Killer, but it also allowed the Dead By Daylight team to lean into the truly terrifying nature of his powers.
Killer Kagune
In Dead By Daylight, The Ghoul’s Kagune tentacles quickly become the ultimate instruments of fear. Erupting from his back, Kaneki’s Killer Power propels him around the Map chaining movements together to descend upon fleeing Survivors. Successful attacks spark Enraged Mode, amplifying Kaneki’s strength, brutality, and movements.
Combined with a Perk set designed to apply pressure, The Ghoul forces his prey to keep their heads on a swivel, lest they become his next meal. Finally, those unlucky enough to fall victim to his Mori will bear the brunt of his vicious nature in gloriously graphic ways you’ll need to see to believe.
Tokyo Style
Adding to the fun, the Tokyo Ghoul Collection, available April 2nd will introduce several other iconic looks and characters from the Tokyo Ghoul animated series.
Is this one of the big IPs you were always hoping would show up in Dead By Daylight or would you have rather had a different one in the mix? Will the tentacles be used for more than just ripping us apart in the match or will they allow for some extra movement out there too? How far off will we be able to spot The Ghoul in the world and will it truly be just a brute force Killer with little else for players to use to their advantage? Run on down to the comment section to leave all of those thoughts and everything else that is coming to mind for all of this. We will share what we can for Dead By Daylight going forward, so please keep on checking in for all of those updates and the many others we still have in the works around the office.
