Behaviour Interactive has announced that Dead By Daylight will add Alan Wake from the Alan Wake series by Remedy Entertainment as a playable survivor. The Public Test Build featuring Alan Wake will be available for the PC version via Steam starting from 12am GMT+ on 11 January 2024.

Remedy Entertainment creative director Sam Lake said:

“We are thrilled to bring Alan Wake, our tortured writer, into the acclaimed Dead by Daylight. We feel the lore of our two horror experiences is a match made in the Dark Place and can’t wait to experience the horrors that await him in the Fog.”

Alan Wake’s likeness is based on the physical actor of the character, Ilkka Villi, and, of course, the Chapter wouldn’t be complete without Alan Wake’s iconic voice, brought to life in-game by Matthew Porretta. He’s reprised his role for Dead by Daylight, recording a number of original voice lines and cries. Yes, that’s really Alan Wake you’re hearing scream. He also recorded material for several of our marketing assets, including the Chapter’s Launch Trailer, CGI Trailer, and Spotlight Trailer.

Hardened by his harrowing encounters in Bright Falls and beyond, Alan Wake has developed several keen survival abilities, manifested here as his three character Perks. His first is Champion of Light, which grants you additional movement speed while shining a Flashlight. If you successfully Blind a Killer, they will gain the Hindered Status Effect, temporarily slowing them down.

Dead by Daylight is available for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store.
