Dead by Daylight collaborated with BTS producer for newest killer
If you’d have told us that a collaboration between Behavior Interactive’s asymmetrical horror game Dead by Daylight and a BTS producer would be a thing, we’d have probably laughed. But it’s that very disbelief that has made the newest Dead by Daylight killer, The Trickster, so appealing.
Outside of the Killer being generally attractive, it was important to Behavior that The Trickster’s background and lore reflected the K-Pop industry as authentically as possible. According to IGN, to get such a detailed authenticity, Dead by Daylight teamed up with Kevin Woo “from the K-Pop band U-KISS” as well as the Grammy-Award winning music producer, DJ Swivel, who indeed “has worked with groups like BTS.”
The new Killer is named Ji-Woon and rose to fame after being recruited by the new Survivor, Yun-Jin Lee to join the boy band NO SPIN. He turned out to be just the thing the band needed to get critical acclaim, but Ji-Woon was jealous that the attention the band was getting was split between the members. He wanted it all. And so, during a fire at the studio, he decided to let his band members perish in the blaze. Through their cries of help, Ji-Woon’s killer sadism was unleashed and thus began his descent into murder.
His producer, Yun-Jin Lee saw the signs point to Ji-Woon throughout the rest of his career as a solo act – aptly named The Trickster – but turned a blind eye. Until one day, after being denied the pleasure he sought at releasing music that spoke to his sadistic desires, Ji-Woon gassed and tortured to death the organization’s top members for telling him no. It was this event that pulled him and Yun-Jin Lee into the Fog.
As of yet, we haven’t got to see a trailer celebrating Dead by Daylight’s All-Kill Chapter, but rest assured when we do, we’ll be sure to share. In the meantime, if you’re on PC you can get well-acquainted with The Trickster in the PTB.
A full release of the chapter is rumored to launch on March 23rd, with the long-sought-after colourblind options alongside it.
