Dead by Daylight x Attack on Titan crossover launches today
Dead by Daylight and an anime legend combine in an epic crossover, with the Dead by Daylight x Attack on Titan collab launching today.
Attack on Titan from Hajime Issayama is one of the world’s most popular manga series, and is beloved by fans from all over the world. The story is set in a futuristic, but apocalyptic, setting, where humans live within three concentric walls to protect them from Titans, humanoid giants whose sole goal is to destroy them.
“The anime’s visuals and narrative had a significant, lasting effect on many of us. We are excited to introduce cosmetics from this critically acclaimed universe,” explains Dave Richard, Creative Director for Dead by Daylight. “This is one of our heftiest Collections, with 10 Outfits designed for both Killers and Survivors. Our approach to assimilating the iconic 2-D anime into our 3-D world was thrilling and challenging as we wanted to honour the original art direction while remaining true to the essence of Dead by Daylight. We are so very proud of this Collection and we can’t wait for fans to get their hands on the Outfits.”
The full collaboration, featuring Dead by Daylight characters from both the Survivor and Killer roster, is featured below:
Survivors
- Dwight Fairfield – Eren
- Yui Kimura – Mikasa
- Felix Richter – Armin
- Meg Thomas – Annie
- Zarina Kassir – Hange
- Jake Park – Levi
- Kate Denson – Historia
- Ace Visconti – Kenny
Killers
- The Oni – The Armored Titan
- The Spirit – The War Hammer Titan
How the team picked which Attack on Titan character would go with which Dead by Daylight character was to look at their characters through a psychological angle. As Xavier Etchepare, Art Director for Dead by Daylight explains, “we asked ourselves how our characters would respond if they were thrown into this universe? Who would they most resemble?”
An example is the choice of Kate Denson as Historia. Her outfit resembles Historia’s when she goes to visit the orphanage, a scene where her kindness is on display – something which also reflects the same core values of Kate.
The Dead by Daylight x Attack on Titan collaboration is available to purchase today on the in-game store.
