Asymmetrical horror gameDead by Daylightrecently announced a collaboration with legendary horror manga artist Junji Ito. While the collaboration will not bring any new Killers or Survivors toDead by Daylight,it will instead include a host of new skins, primarily for Killers - fitting for Junji Ito’s signature terrifying style. The collaboration, which will become available on June 22, 2025, will feature two Legendary skins complete with their own audio and six Very Rare skins. How each skin will be unlocked in the game has not yet been revealed.
Two Legendary Skins For The Artist And The Spirit
The collaboration includes two Legendary skins based on some ofJunji Ito’s most famous characters: Miss Fuchi, a skin for the killer The Artist, and Tomie, a skin for The Spirit. Both will feature unique audio lines, presumably based on the characters' appearances in animated adaptations of Junji Ito’s works.
Miss Fuchi: A Cannibalistic, Terrifying “Model”
Fuchi appears in several ofJunji Ito’sshort stories. Her primary appearances are in “Rumors” and “Fashion Model,” while she also makes a cameo in “Voices in the Dark.” Despite her bizarre, zombie-like appearance, Fuchi is a successful professional model and sometimes an actress. However, Fuchi has a secret: she has razor-sharp teeth and loves nothing more than killing and eating humans. Fuchi is known for her signature cackling laugh, which will be recreated inDead by Daylight.
Tomie: Junji Ito’s Most Famous Creation
One of the most frequently recurring characters in Junji Ito’s works isTomie Kawakami, the titular protagonist of the manga anthologyTomie.Outwardly a beautiful and seductive girl, Tomie is in fact cruel and manipulative. She loves nothing more than herself and loves controlling her obsessed, love-struck victims and turning people she doesn’t like into copies of herself. Some material featuring Tomie gives her a second, creepier face hidden beneath her outwardly beautiful one; the Spirit skin inDead by Daylightwill reflect this two-faced nature.
Six Very Rare Skins Honor Other Classic Junji Ito Characters
In addition to the two Legendary skins, there will be six Very Rare skins. Three are for Killers and three for Survivors. Like the Legendary skins, the exact detail of how players can claim these new skins has not yet been revealed. The six Very Rare skins are:
