Dead by Daylight’s new killer, the Twins, now has lore and abilities

Behavior Interactive teased the next killer to join on Tuesday Death by the light of day. The killer is now on the test realm, and players can play the Twins and give them a chance. They are a very unusual addition to the game, as they are controlled by a single player, but can be used independently.

The new killer is a pair of Siamese twins named Charlotte and Victor Deshayes. Both of them grew up in the 17th century, and they were cast out like demons by superstitious peasants. Their mother was burned like a witch, and the twins were sent to a mysterious and dangerous temple. The inhabitants of the temple carried out risky experiments on the twins, and Victor would eventually die in a fight between the torturers and Charlotte. The entity, the game’s supernatural antagonist, gave Victor new life and brought the two siblings into the fog to serve as Death by the light of daythe newest killer of.

Twins, like all other slayers, have a special set of skills that allow them to hunt survivors and hang them on hooks.

The player can press and hold the power button to activate Victor and toggle control between the twins. When the player controls Charlotte, Victor operates on his own, revealing nearby survivors to Charlotte. Survivors can find and crush Victor to stop the Twins, and Victor will push back on Charlotte after a cooldown.

While controlling Victor, the player can pounce on the survivors. This does damage to the survivor, and if he is at full health, Victor clings to the survivor and applies the Broken, Oblivious, and Disabled status effects. Survivors dealing with Victor cannot enter lockers or exit exit doors, and Victor reveals all other survivors near his target. The survivor must complete a suppression action to detach and crush Victor.

Victor can be crushed if he misses his leap, and if he lands on an obstacle larger than himself, he is destroyed until he reappears on Charlotte.

The chapter also comes with a new survivor who deepens the lore surrounding the Death by the light of day setting. The tradition of Élodie Rakoto is that she was brought up in privilege and comfort. She is actually old friends with Felix Richter, the game latest new survivor. Both were part of the “Imperiatti”, a group of intellectuals and professionals who wanted to elevate their young people to positions of power. After losing her parents to a mysterious supernatural being, she made it her mission to find them, but then ran into cultists and things took a turn for the worse from there.

Elodie and the twins arrive in the next chapter, “A Binding of Kin,” which is due in December 2020.
