Summary
Dead by Daylightis getting a new crossover, with the horror multiplayer game revealing its new collab with Junji Ito. TheDead by Daylightreveal came during the game’s recent livestream, which also detailed the Doomed Course chapter.
For those who might not know, Junji Ito is a legendary horror manga creator from Japan. The artist has produced many horrifying works full of nightmareish imagery. Junji Ito most recently made waves in the west with the release of theUzumakianime premiering on Adult Swimback in September.
Now, Junji Ito is getting a collection inDead by Daylight, with two Legendary skins and six very rare skins for killers and survivors. The Artist and The Spirit will be receiving Legendary skins, turning them into Miss Fuchi and Tomie, respectively. The two skins are quite horrifying, particularly thanks to the disturbingly long neck and giant grin of the Miss Fuchi and Tomie’s second face. Both of these Legendary skins will come complete with new audio. The remaining skins are split between survivors and killers, with The Trickster, The Dredge, The Twins, Yui Kimura, Yun-Jin Lee, andKate Densonall receiving new skins in the Junji Ito collection.
Fans of Junji Ito will likely find a lot to love in this particular collection, which will launch on July 20, 2025. While Junji Ito’s works are always scary, seeing one of his creatures come to life and lurking in the dark will surely provide a terrifying experience for players. Those who aren’t familiar withJunji Ito’s worksmay also be able to discover a new favorite thanks to the collaboration.
While the characters and creatures theseDead by Daylightskins are based off of are all Junji Ito’s creations, the collaboration may remind players of what could have been. While he reportedly didn’t have a hand in thePTdemo, Junji Ito was set to be part of the team bringing Hideo Kojima and Guillermo Del Toro’sSilent Hillsto life. Unfortunately, the game’s development never made it far enough to see what his contributions to the title would have been like.
This collection inDead by Daylightdraws from some of Junji Ito’s most well-known creatures and isn’t the same thing as brand-new monsters made forSilent Hills. However, given thatSilent Hillhas also come toDead by Daylight, it’s likely the closest thing that fans can get for the foreseeable future.
