At long last,Dead by Daylight’s collaboration withTokyo Ghoulhas officially put up a green light for anime chapters in the future. So far, no other anime crossovers inDead by Daylighthave been announced. However, the arrival of Ken Kaneki could be a massive game changer for what else the game can offer. Previously, there seemed to be more guardrails on what players could expect from the game. However, little by little, those horizons have been expanding. With theTokyo Ghoulchapter,Dead by Daylighthas a lot of new potential Survivors and Killers to choose from.
TheTokyo Ghoulcrossover inDead by Daylightwill be bringing series protagonist Ken Kaneki to the Fog. While Ken was a hero in his own world,Dead by Daylightwill be seeing a version of him that gave into bloodlust and hunger, becoming a ravenous ghoul who is happy to serve the Entity. In addition to Ken, there will also be a few Survivor outfits based on various characters fromTokyo Ghoul, as well as Rize Kamishiro as a Legendary skin for Ken. Even though a new Survivor isn’t coming from theTokyo Ghoulcollaboration, players are getting plenty of content regardless.
A few months ago, theJunji Ito collection inDead by Daylightwas released. This collection featured several skins based on some of Ito’s most iconic characters and stories. Thanks to this crossover, characters like Tomie, Sochi, and Miss Fuchi can now scareDead by Daylightplayers as much as they have manga readers. Of course, it only seems natural that a horror icon like Junji Ito would eventually find his way to gaming’s biggest horror crossover. However, while the Junji Ito collection brought plenty of great skins, theTokyo Ghoulchapter is taking the next step by introducing a brand-new killer to the roster.
Dead by Daylightpreviously featured anAttack on Titancollection, but the skins are no longer available to buy in-game.
Tokyo Ghoul’s Ken Kaneki was a perfect first anime representative, consideringDead by Daylight’s many horror collaborations. After all,Dead by Daylightis built on horror, and has most of the genre’s biggest icons among its roster. Even thoughTokyo Ghoulis a show with a lot of action, it still lands precisely in the horror genre as well with its disturbing themes and violent scenes. It’s far from the only horror anime on the market, too. Now thatTokyo Ghoulhas made it intoDead by Daylight, it’s anyone’s guess as to what anime could get the next invitation to the Fog.
The pool of possibilities doesn’t stop with strictly horror anime either. After all,Lara Croft’s debut inDead by Daylightshowed that more genres were eligible to provide new Survivors and Killers. Almost any hero intrepid enough or villain terrifying enough could potentially end up inDead by Daylightas long as the owners of the IP agree to let them into the game. Considering how many prominent anime could meet that criteria, the number of potential additions toDead by Daylight’s roster has skyrocketed. FromParasytetoJojo’s Bizarre Adventure, countless anime characters could turn up inDead by Daylightnext.
Tokyo Ghoulwill hopefully blaze a trail forward forDead by Daylight’s future crossovers. Between this collaboration and the fact thatFive Nights at Freddy’s joinsDead by Daylightin a few months, it’s clear that Behavior is expanding their horizons. WithTokyo Ghoulcoming to the game, there’s plenty of room for some of anime’s most fearsome creations to find a way to wreak havoc in The Entity’s playground.Tokyo Ghoul’s Ken Kaneki may shareDead by Daylightwith some other anime crossovers before too long.
