Prepare for a chilling collaboration! Dead by Daylight (DbD), the asymmetrical horror multiplayer game, is partnering with legendary Japanese horror manga artist Junji Ito to bring his iconic creations to life in-game. This "ultimate horror collaboration" features eight terrifying new skins based on Ito's renowned works.
For 40 years, Junji Ito has captivated audiences worldwide with his unique, macabre style and surrealist horror tales. Now, his signature characters from works like "Tomie," "Hanging Balloons," and "Rumors" are invading the realm of DbD.
The collection includes skins for Killers: The Dredge, The Trickster, The Twins, The Spirit (featuring a Legendary Tomie skin with unique audio), and The Artist (boasting a Legendary Miss Fuchi skin from "Rumors," complete with new sound effects). Survivors Yui Kimura, Yun-Jin Lee, and Kate Denson also receive Ito-inspired skins.
Junji Ito himself was involved in bringing his creations to the game. In a video shared on Dead by Daylight's official X (formerly Twitter), Ito expressed his delight at seeing his characters reimagined in DbD, commenting on their enhanced terror within the game's environment. He even took part in a gameplay session as The Artist, sporting the Miss Fuchi skin.
