Well, folks, you never gave up hope, and Behaviour Interactive has finally listened. Jason Voorhees of Friday the 13th fame is making his way to Dead by Daylight, and he’s every bit as sinister and deadly as you remember him in the official trailer that the studio just dropped for him.
It really sets the scene, with a gloomy hut lit up only by the thunder from a raging storm before Jason walks in to grab his machete and mask, a reflection of which you see while a very familiar score rounds it all off. We really liked it, and that was only part of why we’re so excited to try him out for ourselves.
What really delighted us was information about Jason’s skills, which involve stalking unsuspecting survivors via their footprints while remaining entirely unseen with his Omnipresent Evil ability. Meanwhile, Improvised Carnage gives him the ability to throw things he finds at retreating Survivors, with the ability to even pin them to a wall.
Expect more than a few jump scares and some horrifying kills when he drops into the public beta test build starting May 26th, before making his official debut on June 16, the game’s 10th anniversary.
