Update [Tue 6th Aug, 2024 18:30 BST]:
As promised, Behavior Interactive has delivered more details on the upcoming Castlevania crossover, coming to Dead By Daylight. And Konami’s whip-cracking series is going vampire hunting in the online game on 27th August.
Both Dracula and Trevor Belmont will be joining the game and, amazingly, Dracula is Dead By Daylight’s very first vampire. Trevor Belmont has the ability to seek out both teammates and Killers, which makes him pretty useful for dealing with the shape-shifting vampire. As expected of a Belmont, of course.
The Dark Lord himself has the ability to become a bat or a wolf during gameplay, too, and both skills will help him hunt down his prey. Dracula’s Castle also joins the game, probably as a new stage, and we think that could be pretty good fun.
You can get more details on the collaboration from the official Dead By Daylight website.
Look, Konami, we’re glad you remember Castlevania, but could we get a new one? Anyway, will you be checking this update out? Let us know down below, dear readers.
