Bringing a mash-up with a killer that many didn’t even consider before, Behaviour Interactive has announced that the next series to come to their hit asymmetrical game Dead by Daylight will be Ringu! They won’t just be basing it off of media knowledge either since they officially teamed up with the famed Japanese entertainment editor and publisher Kadokawa to integrate its cult franchise.

When it comes to adding this iconic horror franchise from Japan to the game, Game Director Mathieu Côté stated, “The importance of the Ringu franchise in Japan, and its influence on culture around the world are undeniable. To be given the opportunity to dive into that legendary story as we bring this creation into Dead by Daylight is an immense honor. This new Chapter will give our players something intensely dark and troubling, a real heart-pounding experience that adds to the already high intensity of our game.”

This choice is quite an interesting one and I am looking forward to seeing how they implement this unique killer. There are a lot of ways they could go about it and they typically do a good job bringing new characters onto the Dead by Daylight roster. I have no doubt this killer will also be a good addition. What do you think about them bringing in the Ringu series killer? Which series would you like to see added next?
