Dead By Daylight is no stranger to epic collaborations. From Chucky and The Xenomorph, to recent hit smash hits like Attack On Titan, the popular horror video game where four Survivors try to escape from a relentless Killer has long been home to legendary characters from the diverse world of horror and beyond. Now, it’s a heavy metal icon’s turn.
Legendary band Iron Maiden and Dead By Daylight have teamed up to bring beloved figurehead, Eddie, to the game in an electrifying new collection.
Having graced nearly all of Iron Maiden’s album covers, t-shirts, and merch since the very beginning, Eddie has a long and storied history. With bloody battlefields, dystopian futures, and the deep reaches of hell under his belt, fans can be sure that Eddie will be right at home in the twisted world of Dead By Daylight.
Eddie enters Dead By Daylight’s Fog as Legendary Outfits for popular Killers The Dredge, The Doctor, The Deathslinger, and The Oni. Iron Maiden fans are sure to recognize the inspiration behind the Outfits, as each one draws from one or more of Eddie’s iconic iterations throughout the years. The game’s original Survivors also get to join the mix, with band t-shirts featuring the game’s many Realms as tour stops.
“What an incredibly exciting new collaboration for us to explore,” shares Kirby Taylor, Product Manager on Dead By Daylight. “Eddie is such an icon, and flipping through some of his famous appearances to see which Killers we could pair them with was a dream come true. We’re also glad our Survivors can get in on the fun with some killer tour t-shirts. A couple of those even have a little surprise as well, depending on the Survivor, but we’ll leave that up to players to find.”
As an additional treat for fans, Iron Maiden’s classic track, "Fear Of The Dark", will play once any of these cosmetics are equipped in the match lobby - helping set the mood for the face-melting challenge ahead.
The Iron Maiden Collection is available for purchase now.
