Dead by Daylight has a roster of murderers stacked with both creepy original concepts and licensed legends from other franchises. Developer Behaviour Interactive has brought characters like Pyramid Head, Freddy Kreuger, and even Dracula to the asymmetrical horror game. On Tuesday, Behaviour shared the next licensed Killer coming to the game: Ken Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul, who is living a terrible alternative timeline.In Dead by Daylight, a team of four Survivors works together to escape a battlefield haunted by a single Killer. These Killers have been primed and prepared for their duty by an extraplanar evil god known as the Entity. The Entity stalks timelines and universes, looking for the perfect prey to turn into ruthless Killers.Though Kaneki is the protagonist of the popular manga and anime, he should make for an ideal Killer. In the series, kindhearted human Kaneki is transformed into a half-ghoul after being attacked by one of the flesh-eating monsters. Though he initially tries hard to maintain his humanity, Kaneki undergoes a dramatic personality shift after being captured and tortured at the end of the first season, and fully succumbs to his ghoul nature. The resulting battle is easily the animes peak, with Kaneki tearing through his enemy with a merciless abandon, and using the abilities of the ghoul powers (including regeneration and tentacles) to their full extent.If Dead by Daylight can capture a sliver of that version of Kaneki, hell make a formidable (and fun) opponent. The Tokyo Ghoul collection will include other references to the anime as well, including four outfits and masks.The Tokyo Ghoul crossover will only contain a Killer; it is not a full chapter with a matching map and Survivor. However, the new Killer could have a big influence on the games meta. His trademark tentacles make him a very mobile threat that could strike from any angle. The update is set to go live on April 2.
