Nicolas F******* Cage!

Greetings, fellow gamers and horror enthusiasts! Today, we've got some news that's so wild, it could only be described as a full-on Cage Rage! The spine-chilling and adrenaline-pumping game, Dead By Daylight, has just unleashed the ultimate surprise: none other than the one and only Nicolas Cage is joining the survivor roster. That's right; strap yourselves in for an action-packed, face-off with the legendary actor in a way you've never experienced before!

"Oh no, not the bees!" - Sorry, that might not be your first reaction when hearing about Cage's addition to Dead By Daylight, but you have to admit it's hard not to smile at the prospect of this charismatic actor taking on the role of the hunted.

For those who've yet to dive into the nail-biting world of Dead By Daylight, here's a brief rundown: it's a thrilling, asymmetrical horror game where a group of survivors must outwit and outmaneuver a relentless killer, all while trying to repair generators and escape from creepy and dangerous environments.

Adding Nicolas Cage and his eccentric perks to the mix? Pure genius!

1. Dramaturgy

While running when healthy, press the Active Ability button to run with knees high for 0.5 seconds to gain a +25% Haste Status Effect for 2 seconds, followed by one of the following effects:

Suffer from the Exposed Status Effect for 12 seconds

Extend the duration of the Haste Status Effect for another 2 seconds

Scream, but without notifying the Killer

Receive a random rare item, with a random selection of add-ons to it, automatically dropping any previously held item.

Nic Cage adds his theatrical flare to the game with Dramaturgy. Not only gaining a slight speed boost after a hilarious "knees-to-chest" animation, but also initiating a game of "Effect Roulette". Whether its becoming exposed, gaining a new mystery item, or screaming for the sake of screaming - the thrill is the same.

2. Scene Partner

Whenever you are inside the Terror Radius, Scene Partner activates:

Looking at the Killer causes you to scream, which reveals their Aura for 3/4/5 seconds.

There is a 50% chance that you will scream again, extending the Aura-reveal duration for another 2 seconds.

Although dealing with the Unbearable Weight of his talent may be a feat for Cage, that isn't the case for anyone who works with him. Dedicated to locking in and being in sync - the mere sight of his killer counterpart induces a scream. For those survivors who constantly look for chase, this perk is a great means to instigate - while gaining a slight Aura-read advantage

3. Plot Twist

Plot Twist can only be used when injured. While crouching, press the Active Ability button to enter the Dying State. This will:

Suppress grunts of pain

Suppress pools of blood

Allow you to fully recover

After full recovery using Plot Twist, you are healed instantly and gain a +50% Haste Status Effect for 2/3/4 seconds.

As a surprise to absolutely no one, Nic Cage comes armed with an ace up his sleeve - dropping dead. That's right, for the few of us who play No Mither, this comes as a welcome addition. Cage came prepared to shake things up by quietly taking himself out of the game, only to come back faster and stronger than before. Boasting a speed boost and a free heal - Plot Twist is an absolute game changer.

Adding Nicolas Cage as a survivor with his fun and quirky perks in Dead By Daylight is a stroke of genius that has captured the imagination of the gaming community. The game's developers have found the perfect balance between horror and humor, giving players a truly unique and entertaining experience.

So, whether you're a seasoned Dead By Daylight veteran or just someone who enjoys the magnetic charm of Nicolas Cage, get ready to embrace the eccentricity and witness the hilarity unfold as you take on the trials together.

Will you be able to survive with Cage by your side, or will you fall prey to the lurking horrors?

See you in the fog...
