Dead by Daylight Teases Castlevania Crossover: Details to Be Revealed on August 6

Dead by Daylight is set to unveil news about its Castlevania DLC on August 6. This asymmetrical multiplayer game is known for its unique crossovers, featuring horror icons from films as well as characters from other popular games like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and, more recently, Tomb Raider. Dead by Daylight has become the go-to game for unexpected crossovers that players never knew they wanted.

The developers have been proactive in keeping the game fresh and diverse by introducing new characters from various franchises. The latest addition to the game is Tomb Raider's Lara Croft, who appears as a Survivor. Her inclusion has paved the way for even more exciting crossovers.

Recently, Dead by Daylight's Twitter account shared a teaser for the upcoming Castlevania DLC. Previously just a rumor within the community, this DLC will be detailed further on August 6, as hinted by the teaser video. The clip features some old writing alongside a bat figure, leading fans to speculate that Dracula may finally be joining the game.

What Are Fans Hoping to See in the Upcoming Castlevania DLC?

While no official details confirm whether the new Castlevania chapter will include both a Survivor and a Killer, fans are already speculating about its content. Many players hope to see a Carmilla skin as an alternative option. Some fans have also expressed a desire for a new castle map, though others believe that Dead by Daylight's Decimated Borgo could serve this purpose. Given Castlevania's rich lore, there is plenty of material and assets for Behaviour Interactive to draw upon for the upcoming DLC.

Interestingly, while the lack of new Castlevania games has frustrated fans, the franchise has participated in several crossovers, similar to this one with Dead by Daylight. The vampire game V Rising recently collaborated with Castlevania, and even Dead Cells featured a significant Castlevania presence in a large expansion pack that included characters like Richter and items such as Holy Water and the Throwing Axe. Dead by Daylight could explore these ideas to enhance its gameplay, especially after introducing magical items in the Dungeons and Dragons Chapter. For now, fans will have to wait until August 6 for more information.
