As with every major Dead by Daylight DLC, the Silent Hill chapter brings a new killer, a new survivor, and a new map.
On the killer side, with over six games to choose from, the team at Behaviour Interactive went with one of the most iconic Silent Hill enemies - Pyramid Head himself, officially known as The Executioner.
Dead by Daylight Chapter 16 Killer - The Executioner
“Pyramid Head’s – or as we call him, The Executioner’s – power is to drag his giant knife around and create a trench that’s filled with all that Otherworldly stuff the game has, and any player who runs through that effect becomes Tormented, a new status effect added in this update that makes survivors easier to find and sacrifice,” said Dead by Daylight’s Game Director Mathieu Cote.
The Executioner Powers
- Cage of Atonement
- Giant Knife can be used to create a trench, and any survivor that runs through it becomes Tormented
“The Executioner can then take people that have been tormented and literally create this ‘Cage of Atonement’ around them, inspired by a scene in one of the Silent Hill games, and it creates a shell around them where they can be sacrificed wherever they stand. It removes the need for the killer to find a hook to place the survivors on, so it creates a huge speed advantage compared to other killers.”
The Executioner will be terrifying players from today in Dead by Daylight’s Public Test Build on Steam, and officially launch on June 16 as part of the Silent Hill chapter.
