Lara Croft could appear on Daylight next month

Highlights

Dead by Daylight developer Behaviour Interactive hinted that the licensed Survivor, coming in July, is “a character that truly embodies the meaning of Survivor.”
Fans speculated that this could refer to Tomb Raider, as the last three games are known as the Survivor Trilogy.
Leaker Gumpy887 backed this up in a now-deleted YouTube comment, saying, “I’d bet on Miss LC, too.”

According to Dead by Daylight leaker Gumpy887, who previously reported on the Alan Wake, Dungeons & Dragons, and Alien crossovers, Lara Croft could be coming to the Killing Ground next month.

“Hope the July license survivor chapter is (The Walking Dead) or Tomb Raider,” commented one fan. “I’d also guess Miss LC,” Gumpy887 replied in a now-deleted comment.

All Dead By Daylight Killers, Ranked

Dead by Daylight’s most popular feature is its killers, but which one is the best?

While Lara Croft, as fans note, doesn’t exactly seem to fit into the aesthetic of horror, critics at the time said that Shadow of the Tomb Raider felt like a horror game in places, and The Descent – a 2006 horror film – was cited as one of the influences of Tomb Raider (2013).

Fans speculate that the next licensed Dead By Daylight survivor will be Lara Croft

We know that a licensed Survivor is coming next month, and developer Behavior Interactive even gave us a hint, calling him “a character that truly embodies the meaning of Survivor.”

The 2013 reboot trilogy is known as the Survivor Trilogy and, as I said, was partly inspired by The Descent, with the latest installment even being called horror in some reviews. So many fans speculated that this teaser from Behaviour hinted at a Lara Croft crossover.

Another leading theory suggests that the film will be based on The Walking Dead, which would better fit the Dead by Daylight horror IP suds. However, given Gumpy887’s comment, it’s becoming increasingly likely that Lara Croft will be the one entering the mist.

Dead by daylight

Combining the survival horror genre with the atmosphere of a classic slasher film, Dead by Daylight lets you take on the role of either a brutal killer or one of four survivors. Do whatever it takes to find your prey, or survive the night and find a way out of this hell.
