Chucky becomes the newest killer to be added to Dead by Daylight

Dead by Daylight continues its trend of adding well-known movie and video game horror villains to its increasing roster. Now, Child’s Play is the latest franchise to be incorporated, as developer Behaviour Interactive brings the killer doll Chucky to the game.

A new trailer for the patch shows the pint-sized terror doing what he does best: stabbing people to death. Chucky comes with two modes, Normal and Hidey-Ho, the latter of which makes him temporarily undetectable. He’s also in a fixed third-person camera view due to his short stature.

Dead by Daylight has also added in The Good Gal, which is essentially Tiffany. Fans of both the game and the Child’s Play series will be pleased to know that Brad Dourif has reprised his role as the voice of Chucky.

No short-changing with this update

But it’s not just Chucky and Tiffany that have been added in. Patch 7.4.0 also brings with it a few changes, including some tweaks to a number of DbD‘s killers. There’s also been a slight reduction to some of the larger maps, specifically Mother’s Dwelling and Red Forest Realm.

If that wasn’t enough, the update also implements a ton of fixes, adds in a Player Card, which you “can earn collectable banners and badges” for, and adds support for AMD’s FSR 1.0 upscaling technology. You can see the full patch notes on the Steam page.

It’s a pretty sweet gig Dead by Daylight has. While a popular asymmetrical horror game in general, the fact that it has a long list of other franchises it can utilize for characters and enemies lends it that extra bit of longevity. With it now bringing Chucky into the mix, it kind of makes me want to reinstall it again.
