Dead by Daylight Adds Alan Wake as Playable Character
Dead by Daylight has become one of the biggest meta-experiences for horror fans, with a variety of iconic characters, creatures, and monsters debuting in the asymmetrical horror game over the years. Following the recent additions of Chucky and Xenomorph, one of the protagonists of one of the most critically acclaimed games of 2023 is also coming to the game.
Alan Wake will join the Dead by Daylight Survivor roster, resembling the Alan Wake 2 version and modeled using actor Ikka Villi’s likeness, with Matthew Porretta voicing the character. A new lost manuscript explains how Allen ends up in the game: “As I searched for a way out, a little light in the darkness, I thought about the script I wrote for Night Springs, about a place swallowed by fog. When those memories came flooding back, the same fog surrounded me. Once again, I found myself in a strange place – trapped. I needed to find a way out. I didn’t know why, but I knew that rewriting the script was key.”
Allen will appear in the game alongside a new chapter and a new limited-time modifier called Lights Out, adding a layer of terrifying horror to Dead by Daylight.
While Allen will officially debut in the game on January 30, players can try out the character today via the test server and check out the trailer on Gamereactor.cn to get a better look at Allen in action in DBD.
