The true star of the Dead by Daylight Alien DLC is the Xenomorph, which is a new playable killer for the game.
Behaviour Interactive did a great job of capturing the fear of the original movie — a seemingly unkillable beast stalking its prey and coming out of nowhere to inflict terror and damage. Potentially the deadliest killer yet, the Xenomorph is able to use tunnels to quickly traverse maps and gain the basic whereabouts of survivors.
As with nearly any change, it is worth noting that there have been some concerns about balancing from the community. I’m sure at the higher levels of play this might become an issue, but as a more casual player, it just makes the matches all the more thrilling. The Xenomorph is a fearsome foe that is a blast to play, and it feels like a real accomplishment whenever you survive an encounter.
Also new to the Dead by Daylight Alien DLC is the iconic Ellen Ripley as a survivor. While the default look is from the 1979 film, there’s also a “Back in Action” outfit that uses her look from James Cameron’sthat looks great as well . Ripley is a blast to use thanks to three unique perks that make her a viable survivor. My favorite is Light-Footed, which allows for running footsteps to be silent.
The Alien DLC also adds a free map for all players based on the movie called Nostromo Wreckage. This is a real highlight as it features some really great Easter eggs, such as a facehugger jump scare and the random chance of Ripley’s cat Jonesy being in the ship’s lockers. It looks fantastic — as you can go inside the ship and the surrounding planet you’ve crashed on — and is a lot of fun to play.
