Horror multiplayer game Dead by Daylight has teamed up with the legendary Japanese horror manga artist Junji Ito to introduce a chilling new collection of character skins inspired by Ito's iconic works. Dive into the details of this spine-tingling collaboration!
Dead By Daylight Junji Ito Collection
The asymmetrical horror multiplayer game, Dead by Daylight (DbD), is set to launch the exclusive Junji Ito collection, marking a thrilling collaboration with the renowned manga artist. Junji Ito, celebrated for his distinctive macabre storytelling and surrealist style over the past 40 years, has now brought his eerie characters into the world of Dead by Daylight for what's being hailed as the "ultimate horror collaboration."
Eight Skins To Collect
The collection features eight skins drawn from Ito's most representative works, including "Tomie," "Hanging Balloons," and "Rumors." The Killers featured in this collection are The Dredge, The Trickster, The Twins, The Spirit, and The Artist. Notably, The Spirit and The Artist will boast Legendary rarity skins, enhanced with new audio and sound effects. The Spirit will transform into Tomie, while The Artist will embody Miss Fuchi from "Rumors" and "Fashion Model." Survivors such as Yui Kimura, Yun-Jin Lee, and Kate Denson will also receive new looks inspired by Ito's creations.
Junji Ito himself played a role in bringing his characters to life within Dead by Daylight. In a video shared on the official Dead by Daylight X (formerly Twitter) account, Ito expressed his delight and satisfaction upon seeing his characters in the game. "It was very moving to see that they had become even more terrifying characters after leaving my hands," he remarked. He also took the opportunity to play the game as a killer, donning The Artist's Miss Fuchi skin.
The Junji Ito collection will be available starting January 7th, 2025, for Dead by Daylight on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch.
