Dead by Daylight Unveils New Skin for Survivor Ellen Ripley

Behavior Interactive has released a new skin for Ellen Ripley in Dead by Daylight. The launch coincided with the premiere of the movie Alien: Romulus. The skin, categorized as a Legendary Outfit, allows players to transform Ripley’s appearance into that of Rain, the main character from the latest Alien movie.

Rain skin introduced for Ellen Ripley

Dead by Daylight’s developers have introduced a Legendary Outfit that changes Ellen Ripley’s in-game appearance to resemble Rain from “Alien: Romulus.” This skin, distinct in its design, features a unique in-game icon and cannot be mixed or matched with other outfits. Players see Rain’s likeness as Ellen embarks on a mission to find her friends aboard the Renaissance space station. Cailee Spaeny portrays Rain’s character in the movie, and her voice has been recognized by many gamers in the game’s promotional trailer.

The release of the “Alien: Romulus” movie has been well-received globally, with 20th Century Studios and Disney reporting an impressive $41 million during its opening weekend. The film has been praised for its suspenseful and surprising elements, with a Forbes review highlighting its capacity to scare and entertain. The timing of Dead by Daylight’s new skin release with the movie’s launch adds a new dimension to the gaming experience, drawing in franchise fans.

Mixed reactions to the new skin

The introduction of the Rain skin in Dead by Daylight referred to as the “Alien: Romulus Collection,” has sparked mixed reactions in the gaming community. While some players appreciated the new addition, others questioned using the term “collection” when only one skin was released. There is a growing demand for more skins from the “Alien: Romulus” universe, with fans suggesting the inclusion of skins for other characters, such as the Xenomorph, scorched Xenomorph, or warrior alien.

Gamers have expressed their views on social media platforms, with some expecting more content under the “collection” label. Despite the mixed feelings, many players are enthusiastic about the Rain skin, even suggesting that it surpasses the previous design for Ellen Ripley. Some comments reflect a preference for playing as Rain, with one user pointing out that the new skin might overshadow Ripley’s presence in the game.

Upcoming Castlevania collaboration

Dead by Daylight has also announced an upcoming collaboration with the Castlevania franchise, introducing characters Trevor Belmont and Count Dracula into the game. This collaboration is expected to bring iconic elements from the Castlevania series into Dead by Daylight. Trevor Belmont will be featured as the survivor facing Count Dracula, who will possess various abilities, including transforming into bats and wolves to track and eliminate victims.

Jason Guzzo, a developer at Dead by Daylight, oversees the creation of Dracula’s character in the game. Guzzo emphasized the importance of maintaining game balance while incorporating Dracula’s different forms. The collaboration is set to excite fans of both Dead by Daylight and Castlevania, merging two beloved franchises into a thrilling gaming experience.
