Dead by Daylight’s next Killer is Alien’s Xenomorph

Name a more iconic duo than The Walking Dead and choice-based video games. AMC and publisher GameMill Entertainment know there’s no better answer to that prompt, so they’re teaming up for a new choose-your-own-adventure-style action game based on The Walking Dead TV series that sounds intriguing.

Rockstar's cowboy epic is up for preorder on PS4 and Switch.

Dead by Daylight has a new Killer in town, and it's one all horror fans know (and likely fear): the Xenomorph. Behaviour Interactive has released all of the details of its new Alien collaboration following a teaser that provided a glimpse into the new Nostromo Wreckage Map. The announcement confirmed not only the Xenomorph's role as Dead by Daylight's latest Killer but also the introduction of Ellen Ripley as a Survivor. 

The Dead by Daylight Alien update introduces a new killer in the form of the Xenomorph, new survivor in Ellen Ripley, and even a new map, the Nostromo. But the multiplayer horror game from BHVR is also undergoing some changes with regard to disconnects, meaning that players will no longer be able to leave games in order to spectate on DBD bots if they choose to bow out mid-play. It comes as part of the new Dead by Daylight patch, which introduces a variety of changes to both the overall experience and the bots themselves.

Developer Behaviour Interactive has announced that the latest public test build for Dead by Daylight now features the Xenomorph as a new playable Killer.

Behaviour Interactive has fully lifted the lid on the long-awaited Dead by Daylight Alien expansion, confirming Ellen Ripley as the new survivor and revealing a number of new mechanics for survivors and killers alike.

Dealing with a remorseless alien killing machine is still better than being hunted by Nicolas Cage.

Following last week's official reveal of Dead by Daylight's Alien collaboration, developer Behaviour Interactive has shared further details, including an August release date and the entirely unsurprising confirmation that Sigourney Weaver's iconic action hero Ellen Ripley will feature as a Survivor, battling against a Xenomorph killer.

Behaviour Interactive have shared more details of the Alien expansion for asymmetrical PVP affair Dead By Daylight, which adds Giger's celebrated hoover-faced menace to the game's line-up of playable horror movie villains. I've never played Dead By Daylight - going by my Among Us stats, I make a pretty shambolic assassin and besides, the whole impale-people-on-hooks sacrifice mechanic is just so urrrgh - but I will always play an Alien game, and Behaviour's take on the xenomorph is intriguing.

After teasing it last week, Behaviour Interactive has officially announced that the sci-fi horror franchise Alien is the latest property to cross over with its asymmetrical horror game Dead by Daylight.

Dead By Daylight is adding its long awaited Alien collaboration, and it turns out it's not just a Xenomorph being added, but also Ellen Ripley, the Nostromo, and also a flame turret to mess with the Xenomorph, too. 

After briefly teasing it last week, Behaviour Interactive has released the full details of their upcoming Dead by Daylight: Alien crossover. If you aren’t content playing as the Survivor Nic Cage, you’ll now be able to play as Ellen Ripley. Those looking for a new Killer will get the classic Xenomorph alien from the movies. Furthermore, players will be able to escape the Xenomorph in a new Nostromo Wreckage map themed after the crashed ship.
