Castlevania Joins Dead by Daylight
Between its animated adaptations and video game collaborations, Konami’s legendary Castlevania series remains strong and continues to expand. The latest addition to this trend is the Castlevania chapter in Dead by Daylight, set to launch on 27th August with a public test build available today.
Dracula Enters the Fray
In this collaboration, Dracula joins Dead by Daylight as a new Killer, bringing his power-granting castle along with him. According to Developer Behaviour Interactive, Dracula and his castle are “inextricably linked”, manifesting in the game with his looming castle forming the backdrop for certain trials.
Shape-Shifting Abilities
Dracula is the first shape-shifting Killer in Dead by Daylight, able to transform into a bat and wolf in addition to his vampire form. His bat form allows for quick and silent movement with special abilities like the Undetectable status effect and teleportation. Meanwhile, his wolf form enhances movement speed and tracking abilities. In his vampire form, Dracula can unleash the powerful Hellfire spell.
New Survivor Trevor Belmont
Joining Dracula in Dead by Daylight is a new survivor, Trevor Belmont, known for his vampire-hunting skills. Trevor comes with unique perks like Eyes of Belmont, Exultation, and Moment of Glory, each offering strategic advantages against the Killer.
Release and Pricing
The Castlevania Chapter is currently available for public testing on PC and will be released on all platforms on 27th August for approximately $7.99 USD.
