The Alien franchise has been terrifying audiences for decades. Now, the world of Dead by Daylight is about to face the horror itself with the release of the Alien DLC on August 29, 2023. What awaits in this thrilling addition? Let’s dive into the details!
H2: Killer: The Xenomorph Introducing the Xenomorph, the new nightmarish Killer in Dead by Daylight. With its relentless pursuit, it brings unique abilities that change the game dynamics.
H3: Power: Hidden Pursuit
Hidden Pursuit offers various elements to enhance the Xenomorph’s stalking prowess:
H4: Tunnels
Through Control Stations, the Xenomorph can access underground tunnels, allowing rapid map traversal, detecting survivors, and speeding up Runner Mode’s Cool-down timer.
H4: Runner Mode
In this mode, the Xenomorph stalks survivors on all four legs, reducing its Terror Radius to 24 meters. Remote Flame Turrets can force it out of this stealthy state.
H4: Tail Attack
Runner Mode empowers the Xenomorph with a brutal Tail Attack, extending its reach.
H4: Control Stations
7 Control Stations spawn in each Trial, enabling both the Killer and Survivors to interact with the tunnels and Remote Flame Turrets.

Survivors can deploy these against the Xenomorph, but using a turret brings Status Effects, so manage them wisely!
