Alan Wake is coming to the Fog! Yes, the iconic character from the Remedy franchise is on his way to Dead by Daylight, popular asymmetrical multiplayer game available for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch.

Alan Wake will be available as the new survivor of Dead by Daylight from January 30th and the countdown has already begun, with a new trailer highlighting the character’s abilities in the game.

“We are thrilled to bring Alan Wake, our tortured writer, into the acclaimed Dead by Daylight.

Alan Wake’s abilities in Dead by Daylight

For his unique abilities in Dead by Daylight, Alan Wake will use his main “weapon” present in his games: the flashlight.

There are 3 new unique skills arriving with the character: Champion of Light, Boon: Illumination and Deadline.

Champion of Light

Alan Wake gains additional movement speed while activating the flashlight. If the player manages to successfully blind the Killer, the Killer will be temporarily slowed down.

Boon: Illumination

Creates a Boon Totem, allowing players near it to see auras from all generators and chests on the map. With a Boon Totem with Enlightenment, all interactions with other totems on the map will happen faster.

Deadline

Deadline is triggered when the character is injured and increases the frequency of Skill Checks when healing other survivors or repairing generators. This skill is great for combining with other skills related to Skill Checks.

Alan Wake is another of Dead by Daylight’s collaborations with other popular Pop culture franchises. Before him, the game received characters from “Stranger Things”, “Alien”, “Chucky”, “The Ring”, “Friday the 13” and many others.
