Dead by Daylight is a multiplayer (4vs1) horror game where one player takes on the role of the savage Killer, and the other four players play as Survivors, trying to escape the Killer and avoid being caught, tortured and killed.

Survivors play in third-person and have the advantage of better situational awareness. The Killer plays in first-person and is more focused on their prey.

The Survivors' goal in each encounter is to escape the Killing Ground without getting caught by the Killer - something that sounds easier than it is, especially when the environment changes every time you play.

The game features procedurally generated levels, so players never experience a repetitive map. Be the killer and massacre all your victims before they escape, by using your speed and power in 1st person, or team up with your friends to try and outwit the killer with your superior awareness and agility in a 3rd person's view as he hunts you through a nightmare world.

Players take on the role of both killer and survivors in a deadly game of cat and mouse. It’s a Mature Gamer take on the thrills of Hide & Seek!

Another icon finds a home in Dead by Daylight—one who’s definitely no stranger to strange lands.

Dead by Daylight has teamed up with legendary heavy metal band Iron Maiden to bring their beloved figurehead, Eddie, to the game in an electrifying new Collection.

A true metal icon, you know Eddie as the shapeshifting figure gracing nearly all of Iron Maiden’s album covers, t-shirts, and merch. Where their heart-pounding music plays, you can be sure Eddie is not far behind.

Eddie enters The Fog as Legendary Outfits for The Dredge, The Doctor, The Deathslinger, and The Oni. Iron Maiden fans are sure to recognize the inspiration behind the Outfits, as each one draws from one or more of Eddie’s iconic iterations throughout the years. Survivors also get to join the mix, with Very Rare tour shirts for all the game’s original Survivors.

“What an incredibly exciting new collaboration for us to explore,” shares Kirby Taylor, Product Manager on Dead by Daylight. “Eddie is such an icon, and flipping through some of his famous appearances to see which Killers we could pair them with was a dream come true. We’re also glad our Survivors can get in on the fun with some killer tour t-shirts. A couple of those even have a little surprise as well, depending on the Survivor, but we’ll leave that up to players to find.”

As an additional treat for fans, Iron Maiden’s classic track Fear of the Dark will play once any of these cosmetics are equipped in the match lobby—helping set the mood for the face-melting challenge ahead. 

Having appeared in bloody battlefields, dystopic futures, and the deep reaches of hell, Eddie will be right at home in the twisted world of Dead by Daylight.

The Iron Maiden Collection is available for purchase now (Feb. 22 at 11 a.m. EST).
