‘Dead by Daylight: Alien’ Chapter Available Now on PC and Consoles [Trailer]

Right on time, the Alien franchise makes its crossover with Behaviour Interactive’s Dead by Daylight today. Available now on PC and consoles, Dead by Daylight: Alien allows players to  stalk Survivors as the Xenomorph as the new Killer, or survive as Ellen Ripley. Players will also get to explore a reinterpretation of the iconic ship from Ridley Scott’s classic film in the new Nostromo Wreckage map.

The Nostromo Wreckage is The Entity’s twisted recreation of the interstellar cargo ship from Ripley’s memories, with its labyrinthine decks and an exclusive new feature: Steam Pipes. Whoever runs past a Steam Pipe will activate a short jet of steam. The steam can hit either Killer or Survivor, slowing them down for a few seconds. Survivors can interact with the Steam Pipe Panels to reset the pipe, allowing it to be used again.

That’s not all, as the Xenomorph brings with it an exclusive new feature in the form of Control Stations. These Control Stations will appear on any Map when facing the Xenomorph. Several Control Stations are available during a Trial. The Xenomorph can use them to navigate between Control Stations across any map in a matter of seconds. Inside the Tunnels, the Xenomorph can see Survivor footsteps above, in the form of ripple-like fluorescent impact points and hear the Generator repair sounds.

Meanwhile, Survivors can also use the Control Stations to generate a Special Item: a Remote Flame Turret. These cylindrical weapons need to be picked up and placed strategically. Once the Xenomorph is within its proximity, the Turret will emit a sound, warning Survivors of its imminent flame deployment. The flame disables the Xenomorph’s Power, Crawler Mode, which will reduce its stealth. However, if employed for a prolonged period of time, a Turret can overheat and must be repaired by Survivors. The Xenomorph can also disable or destroy a Turret by hitting it once.

And what’s with a new Chapter without new cosmetics? Both the Xenomorph and Ellen Ripley receive a couple of new Outfits, including the Xenomorph Queen Outfit (Legendary), the Grid Xenomorph Outfit (Rare), as well as the Xenomorph Clone Outfit (Very Rare). On the other hand, Ellen Ripley will receive the Back in Action Outfit (Very Rare), as well as the Ripley 8 Outfit (Very Rare).

Dead by Daylight:Alien is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store and the Windows Store.
