The Dead by Daylight game by Behaviour Interactive gets a new collaborative effort with its new Alien iteration following a teaser. This showcased a look at the new Nostromo Wreckage Map and it also confirmed the Xenomorph as the latest killer. Alongside this debut is the introduction of Ellen Ripley, who is a survivor. This new update unveils seven Control Stations and a Map feature.
Janick Neceu, the Game Designer on the Dead by Daylight game notes that "Creating the Xenomorph's Tunnel system was very challenging as we had never created a sublevel that could only be accessible to the Killer. This new mechanic grants it Map-wide mobility and definitely amps up the scare factor – which feels very connected to the original character."
