Dead by Daylight will be featuring a shapeshifting killer for the first time, and it is none other than the iconic Dracula who has been chosen for this role.

Behaviour Interactive, the developer, has recently announced the new gameplay features for playing as Dracula, such as the ability to transform into a Wolf and track the scents of other players. This was revealed in an article by GMR News titled “Dracula is Coming: Dead by Daylight Announces Castlevania DLC Release”.

Furthermore, Dracula has the ability to shape-shift into various creatures, scorch his victims with fire while in his vampire state, and enlist the aid of a bat companion to assist him in locating Survivors.

Additionally, the developers announced that whenever Dracula is the highlighted killer in a game taking place on an original Dead by Daylight map, players will be able to see his famous castle looming in the distance.

Yet, they subsequently verified that Dracula’s castle will not be included in the licensed maps, unlike other notable locations such as the Nostromo wreckage from Alien and the Forgotten Ruins from Dungeons & Dragons.

Furthermore, Belmont is characterized as possessing a natural talent for forming alliances and functioning effectively within a team.
