Dead by Daylight Releases Castlevania Update

Key Takeaways

  • Patch 8.2.0 introduces Castlevania’s Dracula and Trevor Belmont to Dead By Daylight as a Killer and Survivor.
  • Dracula, known as The Dark Lord, has Shapeshifting powers, while Trevor Belmont’s perks reward skillful players.
  • More Castlevania cosmetics, including outfits inspired by Maria Renard and Sypha Belnades, will arrive on September 12.

As a seasoned gamer who’s been through the horrors of Silent Hill and the thrills of Five Nights at Freddy’s, I must say, the latest addition to Dead by Daylight‘s roster has me absolutely ecstatic! The Castlevania crossover is here, and the arrival of Dracula as a Killer and Trevor Belmont as a Survivor has added a new layer of excitement to the game.

To cap off the month of August, Dead By Daylight released Patch 8.2.0, which kicked off the Castlevania crossover and brought in Dracula, the Dark Lord, and Trevor Belmont as the Killer and the Survivor for this update. The new Dead by Daylight patch arrived after a brief public test build period, which also included some adjustments for Killers.

In June 2020, game developer Behaviour Interactive partnered with Konami for the first time, resulting in a crossover of their asymmetrical horror game, Dead by Daylight, and Silent Hill. This collaboration brought popular characters like Pyramid Head (Executioner) and Cheryl Mason (Survivor) from Silent Hill 3 into the game. Fast forward to August 2024, Behaviour Interactive announced a second crossover with Konami, this time featuring Castlevania. They sparked excitement among players by posting cryptic hints on social media, fueling speculation that Dracula might be joining the game.

Excitedly, I’ve just experienced the live release of the latest Dead By Daylight patch across all compatible platforms! As a dedicated fan, I was thrilled to see Behavior Interactive introduce characters from the Castlevania series in this update, with the legendary vampire Dracula stepping into the role as a terrifying Killer. Now known as The Dark Lord within the game, Dracula uses his signature Shapeshifting abilities to pursue Survivors. In his default Vampire Form, he can summon Flaming Pillars that pierce through obstacles, while in Wolf Form, he tracks Survivors by their scent. A switch to Bat Form enhances Dracula’s stealth and mobility, but renders Survivors invisible at the same time. It’s going to be an exhilarating chase!

Dead By Daylight’s Castlevania Collaboration Is Now Live

  • Dead By Daylight Patch 8.2.0 introduces Castlevania’s Dracula and Trevor Belmont to the game.
  • Dracula is a Killer dubbed The Dark Lord, with Shapeshifting powers to efficiently stalk Survivors.
  • Trevor Belmont is a Survivor who has perks that reward skillful players at the right moment.
  • New outfits based on various Castlevania characters are included as part of the crossover.

In the collaboration between Survivors in Dead By Daylight and Castlevania, it’s worth noting that Trevor Belmont brings unique advantages to the game that can significantly impact a match. One of his special abilities, Exultation, allows him to enhance an item he is carrying when he stuns a Killer with a Pallet. This tactical upgrade gives experienced players a strategic opportunity to boost their equipment at opportune moments. Additionally, Trevor has the option to dress up in outfits inspired by Simon Belmont and Alucard, adding a stylish touch to his character.

It has been confirmed that additional Castlevania-themed cosmetics are coming to Dead by Daylight on September 12, featuring outfits inspired by Maria Renard and Sypha Belnades. Furthermore, with crossovers like Five Nights at Freddy’s still in the pipeline, Dead by Daylight fans can look forward to a wealth of fresh content.
