On June 3, 2024 the gaming world will witness an extraordinary fusion of two iconic universes. Behavior Interactive announcedthat the new chapter of “Dead by Daylight”, inspired by “Dungeons & Dragons”, will take gamers into a world of dark fantasy. This event marks the 50th anniversary of the “Dungeons & Dragons” series with a spectacular entry into the horror genre.

Players are invited to the crumbling Forgotten Ruins, where the power-hungry Lich-Vecna reigns. His quest for dark knowledge drives him to overcome every obstacle in his path. Aestri Yazar, an exiled bard, struggles to survive in this dark world, hoping to one day tell her stories.

Even before the official release, Behaviour Interactive is offering a public test build on Steam. This allows players to gain an insight into the creepy atmosphere and the new gameplay elements in advance.

An eternal tyrant

Vecna, the legendary villain, skillfully exploits his newfound powers in the realm of Entitus. His arsenal of spells is impressive: he can fly, summon spectral creatures, create a phantasmic hand and use a sphere of banishment. These abilities open up new strategic possibilities in the game and increase the tension at every level.

Players can choose between different characters, including the elven bard Aestri Yazar and the human adventurer Baermar Uraz. Both have unique talents that enrich the gameplay. Aestri’s abilities include the creation of illusions, inspiring performances and a temporary aura vision that allows you to locate important game objects.

Bardic inspirations in Dead by Daylight

The newly introduced talent options increase variety and replay value. Players can explore the Forgotten Ruins environment, a place full of mystery and danger. The story continues to unfold as players try to solve the mysterious disappearance of the evil forces

The journey takes the characters to the Rotten Tower, where they may encounter Vecna. Instead of a direct confrontation, however, they are greeted by an impenetrable black fog. This twist adds an extra layer of mystery and uncertainty that makes players feel like they are part of a larger story.

Dungeon & Dice Fun

The Forgotten Ruins offer an atmospheric new map for the game. Vecna has set up his lair here, making it a center of dark forces and terrible experiments. Players must fight their way through a landscape full of ruins and secrets, which is both challenging and visually stunning.

An interesting new feature is the dice system, which adds an extra layer of interactivity and chance to the game. Players can roll dice to obtain items from chests scattered around the map. Depending on the dice result, they receive ordinary or magical items that can help them in their fight against evil.

“Dead by Daylight: Dungeons & Dragons” promises a fascinating experience for fans of both series and is sure to attract new players looking for an exciting mix of horror and fantasy.
