Behaviour Interactive kicked off the fifth anniversary of Dead by Daylight in a big way by finally revealing the Resident Evil crossover that was briefly hinted at during Capcom’s 25th Anniversary stream last month.
Kicking off on June 15th, the crossover will include Leon Kennedy and Jill Valentine serving as the Chapter’s Survivors, with everyone’s favourite bioweapon Nemesis serving as the Killer! The new map included in the Chapter is, of course, the Raccoon City Police Department.
As Nemesis, you’ll be using the T-Virus to infect Survivors by striking them with his tentacle. First contact results in the Survivor coughing and making more noise overall, which is not a good thing when you’re trying to hide. A second hit will cause damage if the Survivor is already infected. Nemesis’ reach of his tentacle is proportionate to the number of Survivors he infects, and reaches its max length after infecting two Survivors. The increased length allows him to hit players through windows, over pallets, and more.
Nemesis isn’t the only thing you’ll have to worry about. As is typical for Resident Evil, you’ll have to deal with zombies that accompany him on whatever map he’s in. When Nemesis is the Killer, zombies will spawn around the map and attempt to attack Survivors by themselves. Much like what happens when Nemesis infects a player, a zombie infection increases Nemesis’ power, and results in the Survivor suffering status ailments. The only way to cure the infection is to find vaccines around the map. Keep in mind that they’re in short supply.
As for Jill and Leon, they have their own unique perks. Jill has a mine that can be placed on generators to explode whenever Killers try to kick the machines, while Leon has a flashbang used to disorient Killers.
Dead by Daylight is available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and the Nintendo Switch.
