Nicolas Cage joins Dead by Daylight

The official blurb for the collaboration reads, "After countless awards and over one hundred movies shot across the globe, Nicolas Cage had seen it all and done it all – or so he thought. While on set filming the role of a lifetime, his performance summoned The Entity, a malevolent being of incomprehensible power. The actor soon found himself cast in otherworldly Fog, forced to Survive a host of terrifying Killers deadlier than even the most scathing film critic."

Dead by Daylight has added characters from some of the biggest horror movies like Halloween, Saw, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Ring. The game also added notable characters from the TV shows Stranger Things and Attack on Titan. On the video game side, Dead by Daylight has featured crossovers with Resident Evil, Silent Hill, and Left 4 Dead.

Cage looks to be the first real-world character being added to the game. It may be the start of the game's collaboration with personalities in the entertainment industry. It wouldn't be hard to imagine someone like Jenna Ortega being featured in one of the future updates for the game.

It will be interesting to see how Behaviour Interactive implements Cage in the game. Hopefully, he will have some cool lines from some of his iconic movie roles as part of his character's dialogue in the game.

Behavior Interactive is one of the studios currently working on Silent Hill: Ascension, which Konami describes is an "interactive streaming experience."
