Dead By Daylight’s Season 31 Teaser hints at famous North American lore creature

Summary:

• Dead by Daylight has released a new teaser for Season 31.
• The teaser shows an eerie character zipping open a tent and killing in a gruesome way.
• This is probably a reference to Skinwalker, a popular character in North American Witchcraft.

When combined with common folklore, horror games appeal to the masses much more than random scary serial killers. Developers Behavior Interactive seems to have hit the winning recipe with speculations about the upcoming character.

In Dead by Daylight’s latest teaser for Chapter 31, we see a first-person POV of the inside of a tent that soon turns into a bloody, gruesome massacre. An inhuman “help me” is heard before the creature rushes into the tent. Fans have reason to believe that this might be a Skinwalker from North American Folklore.

Skinwalkers are popular in North American Witchcraft lore. They are known to mimic the voice of those known by their victims and even change their appearance to look more human-like.

Fans have been analyzing the relatively short teaser since it came out and have concluded from the “help me” and the sagging pale skin on the killer’s face.

As discussed by the community, other possibilities are a wendigo, SCP, or an original and new concept. This paves the way for Dead By Daylight to expand its gameplay horizons.

Players are waiting with bated breath for this character who promises to take their breath in more ways than one. @DbdNewsReal on Twitter has revealed that the chapter name will be “Tears of Fear.”

The speculated release date is March 12^th, 2024. Fans are enjoying Alan Wake in Dead By Daylight, and most of the fan base is looking forward to Dead by Daylight’s possible rendition of the Skinwalker.
