New playable survivor: Cheryl Mason

Cheryl Mason will be the new survivor playable in the new DLC expansion. She was the main protagonist in Silent Hill 3, and also played a role in both the original Silent Hill game and Silent Hill: OriginsIn an interview published by PC Invasion, the creative director of Dead by Daylight said that she will have a new set of different abilities. And it looks like the development team picked this character because of her popularity and that of her source franchise.

The developer has also released tentative information for Cherly and how she will work in-game. It’s important to note that this is subject to change.

  • Blood Pact – While you or the Obsession are injured, you both see each other’s auras. After healing the Obsession or being healed by the Obsession, you both gain the Haste status effect for a limited time.
  • Repressed Alliance – Repressed Alliance activates after repairing generators for some time.

Her new abilities tie into the lore behind Cheryl/Heather Mason. Fans of the original game will note that Heather Mason is actually a reincarnation of Cheryl from the first game.

New playable killer: Pyramid Head

Yes, the incredibly menacing villain will get more screen time in the update as the new killer. Pyramid Head has its own suite of abilities, a rundown for which can be seen below. The new killer wields a large blade and uses his prey’s own fear against them. For example, he can use a new ability to tracked healed survivors across the map.

  • Forced Penance – Survivors who take a protection hit are inflicted with the Broken status effect for a limited time.
  • Trail of Torment – After kicking a generator, you become Undetectable for a limited time. During this time, the generator’s yellow aura is revealed to Survivors.
  • Deathbound – When a Survivor heals another Survivor for one health state, the Survivor performing the healing action will scream, revealing their location and activating Deathbound for a limited time. During that time, the Survivor will suffer from the Oblivious status effect when too far away from the healed Survivor.

Check out some footage, courtesy of IGN, down below of Pyramid Head in action.

There is even a new map coming to the game with this update. This will be the Midwich Elementary School from the first game. This will feature dark corridors and many more places to hide. And you will want to use these to your advantage, as Pyramid Head is excellent at tracking. You will have a hard time hiding from him.

The developers even designed the map to be like the original game as much as possible. So hardcore fans will have something to enjoy in terms of nostalgia.
