After a livestream tease, Dead by Daylight has revealed that its next villain will be the iconic Jason Vorhees. Jason is joining The Fog thanks to the game’s 10th anniversary, in which the Creative Director, Dave Richard, stated:
“When we started to see a path to finally making this partnership a reality for our 10th, we knew then the perfect Jason moment had come. We’re just thrilled the stars aligned and we were able to work with the great folks at Jason Universe to deliver this for our players on such a major milestone for Dead by Daylight.”
Jason’s power is split into two parts. Coming up first is Omnipresent Evil, an ability that allows him to disappear from the map entirely and burst back into play at environmental points. The second part allows him to use items throughout the map as makeshift projectiles.
The Jason Collection will launch alongside this new update, featuring different outfits. Dead by Daylight: Jason is available now on the Steam public test build, with a full release on June 16th.
