Summary
Dead by Daylightmay be getting ready to add a popularWalking Deadcharacter to the game, as actor Norman Reedus has followed the game’s official Instagram account. Norman Reedus is well known for his portrayal of Daryl Dixon inThe Walking Deadseries, and the character would make a great addition toDead by Daylightand its long list of crossovers.
When it comes to the horror genre,Dead by Daylighthas really thrived with its various crossovers that feature iconic characters and monsters from major horror franchises. FromResident Evilto theScreamfranchise,Dead by Daylight’s crossovershave become a cornerstone of the game through the years. The game is always bringing new characters into the fold, and thanks to recent Instagram activity, a major face fromThe Walking Deadseems to be on the lineup.
Norman Reedus recently followed the officialDead by DaylightInstagram account, which has quickly kickstarted rumors ofThe Walking Deadbeing one of the game’s next big crossovers. Usually, when actors or celebrities follow a game’s official account on either Twitter or Instagram, it is oftentimes a sign of collaboration in the works. AddingDaryl Dixon fromThe Walking Deadwould be a perfect fit for the game, and this Instagram interaction is hopefully a sign of that.
If this ends up being an unofficial confirmation of a new crossover, the biggest question lies in whetherDead by Daylightwill feature Daryl Dixon or the actor Norman Reedus as himself. This wouldn’t be the first time thatDead by Daylighthas featured a beloved actor playing themselves, asNicolas Cage recently became part of the game. Also, Norman Reedus is no stranger to the world of video games. He was once part of Hideo Kojima’s now-canceledSilent Hillsproject, which eventually led to Reedus and Kojima working together onDeath Stranding. Reedus is an actor who seems quite interested in the world of video games, so being featured inDead by Daylightas himself is a real possibility as well.
As of now, there is no clearconfirmation fromDead by Daylight’s developer, Behaviour Interactive, but Reedus' Instagram activity is definitely something that might make aWalking Deadfan excited. It’s highly possible that Reedus could just be a huge fan of the game and followedDead by Daylightfor updates, but hopefully there will be an exciting Daryl Dixon announcement in the near future.
