Despite the horror source material, it looks like there could be a lot of tonal variety in this one. The wraparound obi on the cover includes a blurb from Japanese comedian and singer Eiko Kano. Some of the artists involved have shared samples online, as well, including Ryo Sawamura, who contributed a story centered on survivor Nea Karlsson.

Beyond manga andthe addition of a crossover withTomb Raiderstar Lara Croft,Dead by Daylighthas big plans for the rest of the year. Behaviour Interactiveoutlined the Year 9 roadmap in May, from June’sDungeons & Dragonscollaboration to new original chapters, in-game events, and more.
As for whether or not we’ll get a chance to check outDead by Daylight Fan Comic Anthologyin English, there’s no word at the time of this writing. At the very least, maybe they can work in a few sample pages as rewards for completing Tome challenges. It may not expand theDead by Daylightcharacter lore any further, but there’s nothing wrong with a little light shining through the darkness.
