After much rumour, speculation and hoping, it’s now official – The Alien is joining the Dead by Daylight roster! A teaser trailer has been uploaded to YouTube (check it out below), showing us some gorgeous Nostromo scenery and a brief shot of the Alien emerging from smoke. It appears we’ll be getting further information on the 8th.
The suffocating silence of outer space pushes resolve beyond its limits. Dead by Daylight: Alien. Coming soon. Dead by
Daylight is a multiplayer action/horror game where one player takes on the role of a brutal Killer and the other four play as Survivors. As a Killer your goal is to sacrifice as many Survivors as possible. As Survivors your goal is to work together to evade, escape, and most importantly – stay alive.

Everything's live on the PTB though, so anyone who owns Dead by Daylight on PC can try it out now.
Expect to see gameplay and everything except cosmetics and final balance changes today
Honestly that's why I was so surprised that the RPD map is so accurate to the Resident Evil 2 remake, albeit with a lot of destroyed walls. But in the case of the Nostromo, I'd imagine it's just going to be a lot of themed corridors with one or two "main" rooms, like the lunch room we saw in the CG teaser and maybe one or two other bigger areas.
There's the layout we see in the movie, and ridley's doodles of B and C deck layouts, but it will probably be modified heavily to be more gamey.
The roadmap they put out a few months ago said we'd be getting a new killer and survivor in August. And given that everything shows up on the PTB first (Public Test Build) before being released about three weeks later, we should get our first look at all the new stuff next Tuesday, with a release most likely on August 29th.
That's good to know
I would have liked to grab the stranger things one but I ain't paying $350 for the physical copy just to get it lol
Don't want to end up in the same boat with alien if I don't grab it right away...
Meaning it won't be limited?

As next DLC!
And DbD will be with AvP
And AVP in DBD!
Also looking forward to the ridge-headed design as an alternative appearance, if they do that. If they don't, it'll be a missed opportunity.
I just know for a fact DbD content comes out hokey. I do hope there is something better in store for the Alien dlc.
Yea, Hunting Grounds is pretty much dead now. But I'm not a fan of Fireteam Elite. I tried going back in and I just found it really boring.
Hey, Hunting Grounds kept me around a lot longer than Fireteam Elite. It just lacks a constant flow of content and variety.
Luckily since Alien is one of those franchises where every entry has only ever been made by the same studio I'd say there's a good chance they should be able to get some Alien 3 Runner customisation options in there. It's not like Halloween or Texas Chainsaw Massacre where a bunch of movies were made by different studios so they don't have the rights to certain looks. So hopefully with Alien they'll be able to do as much as they like.
Good thing I grabbed Dead By Daylight a couple months back.
With all the big hints that had been lining up, it was more than likely either going to be Alien or Jason Voorhees that came with this update, since Behaviour said this and the next one would be big licences, and Alien is about the biggest horror icon not already in the game. So this is great!
They've already confirmed this chapter is going to feature a killer and survivor, so it's likely we'll get Ripley with this too; and a Nostromo/Hadley's Hope mash-up map too potentially, by the looks of it!
The only downside is I already spent half my auric cells on Nicholas Cage! Oh well, guess I'll just have to use moneypoints for this when it comes out later this month.
