Omnipresent Evil: Jason as a Killer
Few horror characters have proven to be as resourceful, creative, and viciously brutal as the man in the hockey mask. No matter where you run, it always feels as if he is right behind you. Even if he doesn’t have his machete in hand, rest assured he’ll make do with whatever happens to be lying around.
It was important to capture several different aspects of Jason’s slaying methods in his Power, leading to a versatile and oppressive Killer capable of mobility, ranged brutality, and stealth.
Deadly Creativity: Exploring Jason’s Power
You’ll have access to a near-supernatural level of stealth, which offers the ability to teleport across the Map. During this state, you’ll be able to track Survivors by the sound of their footsteps, leaving a visible trail of mist in your wake.
Sometimes you have to improvise. Pick up a Projectile or Hook and launch it into a Survivor, potentially pinning them down with a successful hit. Once they are impaled, they’ll struggle as they try to remove the makeshift weapon, giving you ample time to close the distance.
When you find a target, you can unleash a vicious jump scare with your Jump Scare ability, shattering any breakable object in the process.
Exclusive Collection
Arriving alongside the chapter are new Outfits for Jason, offering never-before-seen looks for the iconic slasher. First up is the Backwoods Terror, which details a vicious woodland encounter with a hapless hunter. Suffice it to say, the local deer population never slept better.
Death Forsaken marks a macabre reimagining of Jason, showcasing that not even undeath can impede his violent tendencies.
Finally, we have Depths of Despair, which finds The Slasher terrorizing victims from beneath the water’s surface. Wield the Blade of the Risen and strike fear in the heart of swimmers everywhere.
Set to be officially released on June 16th, Dead by Daylight: Jason holds a special place in our hearts. We can only hope he leaves a similar mark on you – though there’s no guarantee that mark isn’t a bloody, machete-shaped gash.
See you in The Fog,
The goalie mask-sporting Dead by Daylight team.
