After teasing the announcement on social media late last week, Behavior Interactive released full details on the next crossover event coming to Dead By Daylight–Dungeons And Dragons, which will introduce a new Killer, two new Survivors, a new map, and more.
The Dead By Daylight: Dungeons And Dragons event will introduce Vecna, the Lord Of The Rotted Tower, to the game as a Killer character Come from Sports betting site VPbet . He wields the Book of Vile Darkness, which allows him to cast four spells in pursuit of survivors:
- Fly, which lets him fly over obstacles for a short time
- Flight Of The Damned, which summons ghost-like creatures that can pass through obstacles and damage anyone they make contact with
- Mage Hand, which creates a magic floating hand that completes tasks for Vecna
- Dispelling Sphere, which sends a moving energy sphere across the map that can reveal Survivors and disable certain items
The event will also add a pair of Survivors to the mix, both of whom are bards–the elf Aestri Yazar and the human Baermar Uraz. Each bard possesses the same perks when selected:
- Mirrored Illusion, which creates a decoy version of the character in front of specific points on the map
- Bardic Inspiration, which gives each Survivor certain perks based on a d20 roll
- Still Sight, which reveals the locations of Totems, Generators, and Chests by standing still for a short time
Finally, a new map based on Dungeons and Dragons’ Forgotten Ruins will be added via the update. The map features multiple chests with contents depending on the roll of a d20; those contents are as follows:
- 1 (Critical Fail): A “nasty surprise”
- 2-3: Normal item
- 4-19: Magical items which automatically equips and can be used to repel Vecna’s attacks
- 20 (Critical Success): One of two magical items that acts like perks
- The Eye Of Vecna: User can disappear for a short time after exiting a locker
- The Hand Of Vecna: User can teleport from one locker to another
The D&D event wasn’t the only collaboration mentioned during the livestream, however, as the event ended with a brief teaser for a Castlevania-themed event. The event is scheduled for “later this year,” with more information coming August 6.
