Dead by Daylight is welcoming some familiar faces from AMC’s The Walking Dead into the Fog as playable Survivors: the husband and wife team of Rick Grimes and Michonne (aka The Ones Who Live). They’ll be joined by grizzled archery enthusiast Daryl Dixon, who will appear in Behaviour Interactive’s survival horror game as part of a new Legendary Outfit.
Actors Andrew Lincoln and Norman Reedus will reprise their roles in Dead by Daylight as Rick and Daryl, respectively.
Behaviour announced Tuesday that new chapter Dead by Daylight: The Walking Dead, which features Rick and Michonne, is available to play now on the game’s PTB, with the full chapter slated for release on July 29. As part of the new addition, Dead by Daylight is also getting a new map tile, which appears whenever Rick or Michonne are loaded into the Garden of Joy map. The new map aesthetic will include elements from the AMC TV show, including the prison from The Walking Dead’s third and fourth season, and the “Don’t Open. Dead Inside.” hospital doors from the pilot.
