Horror Master Junji Ito's Terrifying Skins Unleashed in 'DbD'

Dead by Daylight's Terrifying Junji Ito Collection: Eight New Skins

The asymmetrical horror multiplayer game, Dead by Daylight (DbD), is thrilled to announce a chilling collaboration with legendary Japanese horror manga artist Junji Ito. This partnership brings eight terrifying new character skins inspired by Ito's iconic works.

A Collection of Nightmares

For 40 years, Junji Ito has captivated audiences worldwide with his unique, macabre storytelling and surrealist art style. Now, his creations take center stage in the "ultimate horror collaboration" with Dead by Daylight.

The collection features skins based on Ito's most famous works, including "Tomie," "Hanging Balloons," and "Rumors." Killers receiving new skins include The Dredge, The Trickster, The Twins, The Spirit, and The Artist. The Spirit and The Artist will boast Legendary rarity skins, complete with updated audio and sound effects. Specifically, The Spirit gets a Tomie skin, while The Artist transforms into Miss Fuchi from "Rumors." Survivors Yui Kimura, Yun-Jin Lee, and Kate Denson also join the macabre festivities.

Junji Ito himself was deeply involved in bringing his characters to life in DbD. A video on the official Dead by Daylight X (formerly Twitter) account shows Ito's delighted reaction to seeing his creations in-game. He commented on how they became even more terrifying in their new video game form. He even took part in a gameplay session, playing as The Artist with her Miss Fuchi skin.

The Junji Ito Collection launches January 7th, 2025, on PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch. Prepare for a truly unforgettable horror experience!
