One day after dropping a teaser that shone a pretty clear light on what was coming next, Behaviour Interactive has made it official: Alan Wake, the long-suffering writer and star of Remedy's Alan Wake games, is coming to Dead by Daylight as a new survivor.
Alan Wake brings a trio of unique perks to the game, all of them specific to the character. Champion of Light grants Wake faster movement while he's using his flashlight, and if he blinds a killer with it, they'll be temporarily slowed. His Illumination boon enables him to create a totem that enables all nearby survivors to see the auras of generators and chests on the map, and lets him cleanse and bless totems faster. And finally, the Deadline perk increases the frequency of skill checks when he's healing other survivors or repairing generators while injured, and halves the penalty if he fails one—"Sometimes, you just have to write through a hand cramp," Behaviour said.
