The artist is a new original character coming later this month.
Survival horror game Dead by Daylight is perhaps best known for its famously feature-packed crossovers such as Hellraiser, Stranger Things, Resident Evil, and Nightmare on Elm Street. But there are also original characters like the young witch Mikaela Reid, who was introduced in September, and that includes not just survivors but psychopathic killers.
The next installment of Dead by Daylight, the next installment of the ongoing episodic nastiness, Portrait of a Murder will introduce another original murder maniac named Carmina Mora, the Artist, a "talented but tortured" painter in life. On the verge of suicide, he is saved by a "spooky crow murder" that artistically changed him and brought him great fame - until he was kidnapped by corrupt local officials, angered by his campaign against them, and cut and mutilated his hands. stuck out his tongue. Now, it's been turned into a weapon of vengeance by The Entity whose sole purpose is to kill for its pack.
(Meanwhile, the Entity is the cosmic embodiment of evil that corrupts victims, destroys worlds, and generally serves as the impetus for all this freaky-deaky supernatural mass murder.)
The expansion will also introduce a new survivor named Jonah Vasquez, a CIA password cracker whose visions take him to a lost cemetery in Chile, The Forsaken Boneyard, the death scene of Carmine Mora and the nest of vengeful crows. The Boneyard will also serve as a new Dead for Daylight map, featuring a tower cellar where crows roost and watch, “bead-eyes gaze enchanted, never forgetting the day they greedily fed on the flesh of screaming men and women.” Reminds me of my last Airbnb.
Dead by Daylight: Portrait of a Murder is expected to be released this month and will cost $7. Developer Behavior Interactive also announced today that Dead by Daylight and all of its previously released DLCs will be headed to the Epic Games Store in December, with cross-platform play support and advancement support through Steam, Microsoft Store, and Stadia releases.
