Dead by Daylight’s previous key art featured the Trapper, who is the game’s first killer character, as he looms in the back with original survivor characters Meg, Jake, Dwight, and Claudette in the forefront. The new key art is now more representative of the game’s current visuals, and also features four other original killer characters around the Trapper: Nurse, Huntress, Hag, and Wraith. Having this new key visual will help modernize the title and only portray its updated art when it is seen from now on.
While new key art may not necessarily be a wholesale rebranding for the game, it demonstrates thatDead by Daylightis looking ahead to what it can offer playersand wishes to be redefined in its modern visuals. It is clear that while killer characters from theatrical adaptations are important additions toDead by Daylight, Behaviour wishes to hold its original characters in the spotlight and showcase the more authentic side of its asymmetrical multiplayer title.
