Another two Full-Chapter Wishes (The Evil Within & Star Wars) with both, Killers and Survivors
Since full Chapters with both Killers and Survivors are the absolute pinnacle of Dead by Daylight’s lore and gameplay, I wanted to share my little wishlist for future licensed Chapters. I designed these concepts to expand the Fog with highly requested characters while keeping their mechanics perfectly manageable for the game’s engine!
1. The Ultimate "The Evil Within" Chapter
- The Killer: Ruvik as the base telekinetic and reality-shifting Killer.
- The Ultimate Skin Bundle: To give fans the absolute dream package, this chapter arrives with two legendary skins for original Killers:
- The Keeper (Boxhead) as a Legendary Skin for The Trapper (matching his heavy stance and replacing bear traps with rusty barbed-wire traps).
- The Sadist as a Legendary Skin for The Hillbilly (the iconic chainsaw-wielding maniac from the game's opening, perfectly matching Hillbilly's chainsaw sprint mechanics!).
- The Survivors: A massive trio pack to complete the detective team: Sebastian Castellanos, Juli Kidman, and Joseph Oda.
The Evil Within is pure psychological horror. By splitting its iconic monsters into one new Killer (Ruvik) and two Legendary Skins for existing ones, bhvr saves immense coding time while delivering massive fan service
2. The "Star Wars" Sci-Fi Horror Chapter
- The Killer: Darth Vader. He operates like a classic, terrifying slasher icon—slow, heavy, and unstoppable.
- The Weapon & Power Mechanics: His primary weapon is his iconic red lightsaber for standard melee attacks.
- Active Power (Telekinetic Debris): Instead of standard projectiles, Vader's power directly builds upon the brand-new mechanics of The Slasher (Jason Voorhees). Special metal scraps, rocks, garbage, car parts or scraps of wood from broken pallets and environmental debris are scattered across the map. Vader can use the Force to lift these specific objects from a distance and hurl them telekinetically at Survivors—reusing the exact code logic, aiming, and object-interaction programming of Jason's projectile-throwing ability, but animated as cold, powerful Force-gestures!
- The Atmospheric Highlights: He features full, custom Voicelines packed with legendary quotes from the classic films, lore hints, and secret Easter Eggs. His terrifying, mechanical breathing serves as a unique global terror radius effect.
- The Mori (The Force Choke): A brutal, cinematic finisher where Vader fully unleashes his dark powers. Lore-accurately, this is where his most iconic ability shines: He uses a cold, simple hand gesture to lift the Survivor into the air using the Force, choking them to death from a distance before letting them drop to the floor.
- The Survivors: The iconic rebellion squad: Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Han Solo, and Chewbacca (as a Legendary Skin for Han Solo to reuse the exact same skeleton rig)
How would you design the Perks for Sebastian or Han Solo? Which of these two Chapters are you hoping for the most in a future roadmap?
