Dead by Daylight is known for its terrifying atmosphere and a roster full of iconic killers from horror franchises, including Freddy Krueger, Leatherface, Ghostface, Pyramid Head, and many more.
The game’s unique blend of multiplayer survival horror makes it the perfect home for some of gaming’s most frightening characters. Some characters from other games seem like they’d be a natural fit, bringing their own scary abilities and terrifying presence into the game. Here are five characters from other games that would feel right at home.
5. Big Daddy
Big Daddy, the monstrous protector from the Bioshock series, would be a terrifying addition to the game, and be a different type of monster compared to the existing ones. With his massive drill arm and heavy footsteps, he would strike fear into the hearts of any Survivor.
Imagine him patrolling the map, using his drill to charge at players, or even smash through walls. His silent nature, bulky suit, and glowing helmet would make him an unforgettable presence, and a nice change from all the existing Killers in the game who are more grotesque.
4. Jack Baker
Jack Baker from Resident Evil 7 is a relentless force who refuses to die. His durability and ability to regenerate make him a natural fit for the game. Jack’s menacing appearance, combined with his scary presence would definitely create a horrifying atmosphere for the Survivors.
He could bring a unique playstyle where he constantly revives after being downed, forcing players to rethink their strategies and hunt them down just as he did Ethan in Resident Evil 7.
3. Slenderman
Slenderman is a figure that has haunted the internet for years, and he would be a perfect addition to the game, having already been featured in multiple games, mostly from the early 2010s.
Known for his ability to cause paranoia and fear, the character would bring a unique psychological element to the game. His ability to teleport and disappear, combined with his tall, slender frame, would make him a terrifying presence. Survivors would have to constantly watch their backs, never knowing when he might appear.
2. Clicker
Clickers from The Last of Us are terrifying infected creatures that hunt using sound, making them a perfect match for the game. Their eerie clicking noises would be a haunting addition to the game’s vibe, alerting Survivors to their presence.
These zombies could also bring a new gameplay mechanic focused on sound, where players must stay silent to avoid being detected. Their scary appearance and relentless pursuit of any Survivors would make them a formidable Killer.
1. Mr. X
Mr. X from Resident Evil 2 Remake is the embodiment of relentless terror, and he would fit perfectly with the game’s mechanics. Although there is another similar creature from Resident Evil in the game, The Nemesis from Resident Evil 3 Remake, Mr. X is still preferred by many fans.
His imposing size, unstoppable nature, and silent pursuit would create a constant sense of dread for Survivors. This Tyrant could be designed to track players across the map, using his brute strength to break through obstacles and drag Survivors away.
