Chucky Joins Killer Lineup of Dead By Daylight

Some memories as a child are so visceral you remember them and they take you back to that moment. I can remember, for example, seeing a clip of Child’s Play on a TV my cousin was watching and having nightmares for weeks. I’ll get a chance to face my fears, which is very brave of me, with the upcoming addition of Chucky from the Child’s Play franchise as the killer doll joins the lineup of Dead By Daylight. Here’s everything we know so far.

Chucky is popular again thanks to the hit USA & SYFY show, and players will need to keep away from the killer doll on November 28th when the newest Dead By Daylight chapter launches. With new lines voiced by none other than Chucky’s original voice actor Brad Dourif, the tiny but terrifying slayer will be utilizing new and dangerous abilities to take on players in the popular Killer versus Survivor title.

Chucky’s Slice & Dice ability allows him to lunge forward and attack unsuspecting Survivors. Though his height does have its limitations, Charles Lee Ray, in his human form, appears as a spirit to assist him in Hooking Survivors, as well as interrupting them while they’re Vaulting or Repairing. His larger-than-life rage and pint-sized build let him vault through windows and under pallets allowing him to close in on his unsuspecting prey, unlike any other Killer before via his Scamper ability.

There are also great easter eggs for Child’s Play fans that you’ll see Chucky utilize in the game. From the iconic rat poisoning scene from Curse of Chucky, the deathly yardstick from Child’s Play 2, or even the electrifying TV from Bride of Chucky, there are a variety of add-ons inspired by iconic moments bringing the franchise to life while elevating action for players. There’s even a Good Gal outfit that turns Chucky into his better half. Well, I don’t know about better, but she’s here too.

Players will be able to customize their little Killer through a series of terrifying outfits fit for only the most notorious of serial killers. In a unique twist, players can even go as far as customizing their Killer with The Good Gal outfit – inspired by Tiffany Valentine, aka the Bride of Chucky and voiced by the legendary Jennifer Tilly, this outfit brings Chucky’s other half to life like never before. The Dead by Daylight: Chucky Chapter will be available on all supported platforms on November 28. Let us know if you plan on checking it out in the comments!
