# Celebrity Horror Game Characters Behaviour Interactive Showcased Nicolas Cage as a DBD Character By Colin Smith | Published 2023-05-18 | Unique Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nicolas-cage-dead-by-daylight References: [kitguru.net](https://www.kitguru.net/gaming/matthew-wilson/nicolas-cage-is-coming-to-dead-by-daylight/) & [deadbydaylight](https://deadbydaylight.com/) [Behaviour Interactive](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dead-by-daylight-game), the Canadian game development studio most known for the [multiplayer survival horror game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eyes-never-wake) 'Dead by Daylight,' recently unveiled a trailer for its next upcoming playable character, Nicolas Cage. The world-renowned actor will appear in the game as a lifelike rendition of himself. However, at this time it is unclear whether Nicolas Cage will be playable as a Survivor character, or as a Killer character, as the game features a one-killer, four-survivor system. In the trailer, Nicholas Cage states: “I can shape the fabric of reality, transforming everything you may think you know,” which suggests that the character's abilities, whether as a Killer or Survivor, will shape the reality of the game in some way, whether causing illusions to appear on-screen or having the map misshapen. More details on the [Nicolas Cage update](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kim-kardashian-fortnite) are coming on July 5th when Behaviour Interactive releases the full trailer.
