Xbox gamers who have been patiently waiting for the arrival of the Stranger Things Edition of Dead by Daylight on the Xbox platform will be pleased to know that it is now available on the Xbox One and latest generation Xbox Series X and S consoles. This edition brings a unique blend of horror and excitement, combining the eerie atmosphere of Stranger Things with the intense gameplay of Dead by Daylight.
Gameplay Overview
“Ever wished to play as one of the characters from your favorite horror movies? Dead by Daylight is a 1v4 multiplayer game that draws from all corners of the horror world, from a powerful slasher to a terrifying paranormal entity. Choose between playing an unstoppable Killer and one of four Survivors trying to evade a gruesome death.”
In Dead by Daylight, Survivors play in third-person with the advantage of better situational awareness. This perspective allows them to see more of their surroundings and plan their escape routes effectively. On the other hand, the Killer plays in first-person, which immerses them in the hunt and makes the experience more intense and focused on their prey. Each Killer and Survivor has their own deep progression system and plenty of unlockables that can be customized to fit your personal strategy.
Stranger Things Edition Features
The Stranger Things Edition of Dead by Daylight includes all the content of the Special Edition, three original chapters (Curtain Call, Shattered Bloodline, Darkness Among Us), and the Stranger Things chapter. This edition gives you access to a roster of 11 Killers and 14 Survivors. The inclusion of the Stranger Things chapter introduces iconic characters such as Nancy Wheeler and Steve Harrington as Survivors, and the terrifying Demogorgon as the Killer.
The Stranger Things chapter adds a new map, the Underground Complex, which is set in the Hawkins National Laboratory. This map is filled with narrow corridors and eerie rooms, creating a claustrophobic environment that heightens the tension and fear. The Demogorgon, with its unique abilities, adds a new layer of challenge for Survivors, as it can create portals to quickly traverse the map and ambush unsuspecting players.
Moreover, the game offers a variety of perks and abilities that can be unlocked and upgraded, allowing players to tailor their characters to their preferred playstyle. For example, Nancy Wheeler’s “Better Together” perk reveals the aura of the generator being repaired to all other Survivors within a certain range, promoting teamwork and coordination. Steve Harrington’s “Babysitter” perk, on the other hand, allows him to take a hit for another Survivor, showcasing his protective nature.
The Stranger Things Edition also includes exclusive cosmetic items that allow players to customize their characters’ appearances. These cosmetics range from outfits inspired by the show to unique accessories that add a personal touch to each character.
Dead by Daylight’s community is known for its creativity and dedication, with players often sharing their strategies, fan art, and custom builds online. The addition of the Stranger Things content has sparked a wave of new fan creations and discussions, further enriching the game’s vibrant community.
The Stranger Things Edition of Dead by Daylight offers a comprehensive and thrilling experience for both new and returning players. With its blend of iconic characters, intense gameplay, and deep customization options, it is a must-have for fans of horror and multiplayer games alike. Whether you’re a fan of Stranger Things or simply looking for a new game to dive into, this edition provides hours of entertainment and excitement.
