‘Vampire Hunters’ Combines Roguelite Elements With Classic FPS Gameplay, Demo Available Now [Trailer]

After Harrison’s heads up a few weeks back, Behaviour Interactive’s latest DLC for Dead by Daylight is out today in “END TRANSMISSION”. The Chapter 28 DLC introduces sci-fi horror to the asymmetrical horror game, complete with a new Killer, new Survivor, and a new map.

The new Map, Toba Landing, is composed of three areas. The first features buildings left from a greedy corporation named Huxlee whose goal was to explore and exploit new worlds. The second, an ominous jungle and the third, some remnants of an ancient civilization. Navigating this unknown world will prove as much of a challenge as evading the Killer.

Speaking of the Killer, The Singularity is an enlightened AI corrupted by alien technology that can spy on Survivors anywhere on the map. It’s an efficient killing machine of high intellect, able to spread its presence through restructured organic matter with the help of its BioPods.  Placeable on vertical surfaces, The Singularity can transfer its consciousness to the BioPods to spy on Survivors and attempt to Slipstream them to reform itself at their location. The Slipstream effect causes The Singularity to be able to materialize behind a Survivor, and immediately begin chase. A fully Slipstreamed Survivor will spread the effect to other nearby Survivors.

Joining The Singularity is Gabriel Soma, a skilled technician, responsible for taking care of the ships’ lifepods and the people within, as well as the Huxlee hub on Toba Landing. In addition to his advanced dexterity and problem-solving ability, Gabriel can also use EMP, which will be randomly located around a Map when facing The Singularity. The EMP can be used to temporarily disable the Killer’s BioPods or remove the Slipstream effect from other Survivors.

END TRANSMISSION also brings with it two Outfits for The Singularity and Gabriel Soma. The Singularity’s Huxlee Hybrid Cosmetic showcases more robotic matter assimilated into its body, while Gabriel Soma’s E.V.A. Suit Cosmetic decks him in protective gear fit for a Toba Landing rescue mission. There will also be new Collections following END TRANSMISSION’s launch, ranging from new Waterfront Massacre Cosmetics, Twisted Masquerade Cosmetics and a daring futuristic collection.

Dead by Daylight: END TRANSMISSION is available today on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, the Windows Store and the Nintendo Switch. And keep an eye out next month for you-know-who.
