Boasting a roster of over 40 playable survivors and 36 killers, Behaviour Interactives Dead by Daylight stands tall as the king of the niche asymmetric horror genre. Players have been repairing generators and breaking pallets since the game first launched in 2016, a remarkable lifespan for a game of its kind, and it shows no sign of slowing down. Dead by Daylight is adding its first new game mode since launch, featuring two killers and eight survivors. But more than anything, the games long-term success can really be traced back to one thing: its licensed characters.
