Xeno-rumors Abound: Is an Alien Chapter Invading Dead by Daylight Soon?
Fans of horror and science fiction, take note! The rumor mill is churning, and it's possible that everyone's favorite nightmare-inducing Xenomorph from the iconic Alien franchise will join the ranks of Dead by Daylight's legendary horror characters. As we approach Alien Day on April 26th, rumors of a Dead by Daylight Alien chapter gain traction. So, let's take a look at the enticing hints that have the gaming world buzzing.
THE TWEET THAT STARTED IT ALL
Our journey into the realm of speculation begins with the Twitter activity of Ken Pejoro, a licensing employee at Disney and 20th Century Fox. Notably, Ken has a history of using the #SciFi hashtag in Alien-related tweets. He tweeted on April 6th, "4_26 In 20 Days... #AlienDay #ALIEN #Xenomorph #ALIENS #20CS #StudioFranchise #SciFi."
AN EARLIER HINT
In October 2022, Ken tweeted an intriguing question: "Hmm... #DeadByDaylight has a lot of legendary horror characters." Who do you guys want to see make an appearance next??? #SciFi." That #SciFi hashtag strikes again, and the gears of speculation began to turn.
LIKES AND REPLIES
On April 10, 2023, a fan tweeted, requesting an Alien chapter for Dead by Daylight's 7th anniversary. Ken liked this response, which added fuel to the Alien-DBD connection theories.
A GRAIN OF REDDIT SALT
To add to the mystery, a now-deleted Reddit post claimed that, among other announcements for Alien Day, a Dead by Daylight chapter would be revealed. While the user provided no evidence, this only added fuel to the fire.
TWITCH PRIME AND RIFT PASS TIMING
Dead by Daylight recently announced that this month's Twitch Prime would include a free premium rift pass. But here's the kicker: instead of being released on time, the pass was pushed back to April 26th, Alien Day. Is this all part of a big reveal?
As we countdown to Alien Day, the suspense is palpable. It remains to be seen whether these hints point to a genuine Alien chapter for Dead by Daylight or are simply coincidences. One thing's for sure, though: the gaming world will be watching intently, eager to discover if their Xenomorph dreams will come true.
