To celebrate its fourth anniversary, Behaviour Interactive partnered with Konami to add Silent Hill into Dead by Daylight. Game Rant sat down with Behaviour's Game Director Mathieu Cote, Creative Director Dave Richard, and Head of Public Relations Marie Claude Bernard last week to talk about these additions coming to PC and consoles on June 16, and to ask about what could come next.

There were three Killers when the game launched, but it has become famous for its licensed characters. Now the door is open to video games, and Cote said there are still a few things that are "big enough" to make it into Dead by Daylight. While the team wants to focus on its original content, Cote said that they are open to "anything you can think of," including comics or anime. Any "powerful characters" could work, so there are some interesting possibilities following Silent Hill.

Friday the 13th — Jason Voorhees

Jason Voorhees is the obvious character Dead by Daylight is missing. The slasher from Camp Crystal Lake was one of the frequently guessed choices for who Behaviour was going to add during its Silent Hill reveal stream, and for good reason. The Friday the 13th franchise is large, and his origins lead to comparisons with Michael Myers.

However this "obvious" choice is unlikely given the character has his own asymmetrical horror game. Friday the 13th: The Game released in 2017, and its developer Illfonic went on to create a game based on another 80s horror star, Predator: Hunting Grounds. That said, Predator is an unlikely choice too.

Alien — Xenomorph

Another character mentioned often in Behaviour's stream was the Xenomorph, an extraterrestrial terror from Ridley Scott's 1979 film Alien. The Xenomorph is known for a variety of features that could make interesting mechanics in Dead by Daylight, from its acidic blood to its extendable inner mouth. There could even be fun arena gimmicks for a space station full of Facehugger eggs.

The Xenomorph has also proven itself to be an effective entity in horror games through titles like Alien: Isolation. With the Demogorgon from Netflix's Stranger Things having been added into Dead by Daylight there is precedent for more animalistic Killers, so the idea is not farfetched.

Dead Space — Necromorph(s)

With Silent Hill opening the door to video games, there are plenty of options. Capcom's Resident Evil franchise is historically important, but like Friday the 13th, it has an asymmetrical horror game in Resident Evil: Resistance. Something like Koei Tecmo's Fatal Frame may have interesting Survivors like Yuri Kozukata, who appears in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but its potential Killers may not be as recognizable.

One fun option that deserves a "revival" treatment like Silent Hill is Dead Space. The sci-fi horror franchise created an iconic protagonist with Isaac Clarke and enemies with its Necromorphs. No one Necromorph species necessarily stands out like Silent Hill's Pyramid Head, and the rights may be tricky after Electronic Arts shut down Visceral Games, but like with the Xenomorph there are possibilities with a deep-space setting.

Death Note — Light Yagami

Cote is obviously a fan of anime, as he compares the chaotic development of Dead by Daylight to the ending of Akira. The game also has a Japanese lore-inspired Killer in Kazan Yamaoka, known as "The Oni." There are a host of horror-based anime that could potentially fit, but a series with international appeal may be Death Note.

The psychological thriller follows a young man's descent from wanting to make the world better into being a power-crazed serial killer with the power to kill by writing a name in his notebook. Light Yagami is not a "traditional" Killer like Michael Myers, but neither is Saw's Amanda Young. The Death Note could inspire interesting perks, and if the threatening aura still isn't there Light could travel alongside Ryuk. They appear together in Bandai Namco's Jump Force, after all.

No matter what direction Dead by Daylight takes, it should no doubt be fun to watch. The announcement of Silent Hill content amid rumors of a new PlayStation 5 title caught people's attention. Cote said, "We don't muck around. When we go for licenses, we tend to go for the biggest one out there," so it's safe to say that Dead by Daylight's future Killers will continue to be huge and terrifying.

Dead by Daylight is available now for Android, iOS, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
