Chucky from Child's Play comes to Dead By Daylight
A recognizable face is coming to Dead By Daylight, and it’s one fans have wanted for a long time.
Today, Behaviour Interactive (in collaboration with Universal Products and Experiences) announced Chucky from Child’s Play will arrive in the popular game on November 28 as part of the game’s new chapter. A teaser trailer can be seen below.
Bill Kispert, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Business Development, Universal Games and Digital Platforms said this about Chucky’s involvement in Dead By Daylight:
“We know Dead by Daylight fans have been clamoring to see Chucky in game and we’ve been dying to make it a reality. It’s the perfect time for Chucky to unleash his particular brand of mayhem upon players in Dead by Daylight, while he also terrifies them in the latest season of the highly entertaining and always shocking USA & SYFY series.”
Mathieu Côté, Head of Partnerships for Behaviour Interactive also said:
“It’s a character that I never thought we could bring into The Fog because of his size. The team has outdone itself to prove me wrong. Players are in for a treat – Chucky in Dead by Daylight really is the unmissable multiplayer horror gaming experience.”
A description of Chucky in the game reads:
Players should not underestimate the power of this Killer, nor should they underestimate his foul mouth. With new lines voiced by none other than Chucky’s original voice actor Brad Dourif – a question emerges: what is more scathing, his knife or his tongue?
With effective tools for sneaking around the Map, Chucky is a force to be reckoned with, utilizing his Slice & Dice ability to lunge forward and attack unsuspecting Survivors. Though his height does have its limitations, Charles Lee Ray, in his human form, appears as a spirit to assist him in Hooking Survivors, as well as interrupting them while they’re Vaulting or Repairing.
On the other hand, his stature gives him an incredible advantage while hunting, forcing Survivors to always keep both eyes and ears open. His larger-than-life rage and pint-sized build let him vault through windows and under pallets allowing him to close in on his unsuspecting prey, unlike any other Killer before via his Scamper ability. From the iconic rat poisoning scene from Curse of Chucky, the deathly yardstick from Child’s Play 2 or even the electrifying TV from Bride of Chucky, there are a variety of add-ons inspired by iconic moments bringing the franchise to life while elevating action for players.
Dead By Daylight is available on consoles and PC right now. Back in March, a film adaptation of the popular video game was announced.
