Dungeons & Dragons announced via their official Twitter account a partnership with video game Dead by Daylight to add D&D characters to the game. The attached video, which was also uploaded to YouTube, indicates that a new killer will be joining the game: A Beholder.
Dead by Daylight is an online asymmetrical horror game based on slasher movie tropes where four players take on the role of Survivors who attempt to fix generators to escape from a location while a fifth player is the killer attempting to track them down and slaughter them. While different survivors are basically only different skins for appearance only, the different killers have unique abilities and powers to give them an advantage over the survivors.
The franchise is well-known for licensed deals with popular properties including Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Evil Dead, Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and others. In most of these promotions, both a new killer and new survivor character is added to the game. Technically, D&D has had an appearance previously, but it was as the Demogorgon from Stranger Things.
More information is promised on May 14.
