Sure thing, here we go—I’m diving in, feet first into the madness:
—
You know, Dead by Daylight has this way of throwing together these oddball combos, and it’s kind of wild what you end up with. Like, horror crossovers are their bread and butter—totally expected, right? We’ve got stuff from Five Nights at Freddy’s, The Walking Dead, Alien, Scream… you name it, they’ve probably done it. But then outta nowhere, bam! Nicolas Cage shows up, or The Witcher folks, or Lara Croft. Makes your brain do a double take, doesn’t it? So, if they threw in Death Stranding 2? Not exactly a jaw-dropper, I’d say.
Now, Death Stranding is a whole mood. It’s got these weird vibes, not straight-up horror, but still kinda eerie, ya know? I mean, those first run-ins with BTs? They’re enough to make anyone jump. Sure, you get used to them, like you do with a bad boss, but they’re still freaky. And those giant BTs? Gosh, they’d make anyone break a sweat just by standing there. Odds are, a Dead by Daylight and Kojima Productions team-up would be a bizarre yet amusing adventure. Even if it gives more cozy vibes than pure terror—it’s a twist, but it works. Better than Tomb Raider for scares, right?
Now, Sam Porter Bridges. What a dude. Can you imagine him in Dead by Daylight? Fixing generators, dodging killers? Maybe with that Odradek thing on his back, pointing out where the threat lurks like some twisted compass? That bridge baby on the front could scream bloody murder when danger’s near, the poor thing. Not to mention Sam lugging around a mountain of supplies—could be hilarious seeing him stacking medkits sky-high! And his tools? Oh, they’d be a treat. Imagine him hurling a Dollman or using those hematic grenades against a BT killer. A true survivalist’s toolkit.
Speaking of which, BTs as killers sounds both terrifying and brilliant. They’re like those creepy creatures that sneak up on you, leaving handprints behind. Imagine them silently stalking, only visible by those ominous marks they leave. Toss in a transformation mechanic and you’ve got a killer ready to redefine fright night. Intriguingly complicated, maybe, but hey, challenge accepted, right?
Honestly, with the way Death Stranding is always a hot topic—movies on the horizon, all that—maybe it’s time for the folks at Dead by Daylight to shake hands with Kojima and dive into this oddball collaboration. I mean, when hasn’t a wacky crossover been a bit of fun?
Let’s just hope they see what we’re all seeing here. Fingers crossed.
