So, the bulk of the work for us is to create a look and a power that will stay true to the source material and really bring that character to life in a way that surprises and impresses our partner, in this case Kadokawa Corporation, and our fans, all the while fitting into the Dead by Daylight world.īeyond the visual aspects, the key element on which we base our decisions when creating characters is always the gameplay. Mathieu Côté: Since the Killer is a character that already exists in other forms of entertainment, it comes with a set of expectations, it already exists in the minds of the fans.
Given that Dead by Daylight ’s interpretation of Ringu is based on the original novel and film adaptation, how will the killer be represented in the game differently or similarly to the film appearances? I can’t wait for people all over the world to play it, and I hope that Dead by Daylight will give the world more opportunities to experience the Ringu universe. It’s not finished yet, but the ideas coming from Behaviour Interactive are very promising.
It’s a great honor to see what we’ve been dreaming of as a team for years come true. Reiko Imayasu: We have seen Dead by Daylight’s great Killers in action and dreamed that our characters would one day be able to make a name for themselves alongside the other legends of horror. Ringu will also give us the opportunity to play with psychological horror, which is something we have rarely touched in our game.īut to be honest, the more important a franchise is, the more scared I get too! Not just because it is one of the most frightening and disturbing stories out there, but because it’s such a well crafted and powerful piece of art that the bar is very high to create a Chapter for Dead by Daylight that will honor the source material. So, offering players around the world a deep dive into this gem of the Japanese culture is for us an honor, and a very exciting project. Dead by Daylight is a way for us to introduce our fans to the fears and nightmares from other cultures, the Northern European folklore with the Binding of Kin Chapter for example, or the Latin American heritage with our new chapter Portrait of a Murder. The images that now live in our heads because of this famous franchise are deeply troubling, and frankly impossible to forget. The franchise is now a worldwide horror phenomenon. Mathieu Côté: Ringu was very high on my wishlist of potential collaborations! So, we can say that creating a new chapter based on this Japanese masterpiece is a dream come true. How did this particular partnership come about? This seems like one of Dead by Daylight ’s more unexpected of choice. Read on for an email interview with Côté and Imayasu with additional insight into the collaboration. As an IP from Japan, we are entering the Fog for the first time … tremble with fear whilst you wait!” “Collaboration with Dead by Daylight is without doubt a new challenge for the Ringu franchise. “It’s been 30 years since the first publication of the novel Ringu and 22 years since the film Ringu,” Reiko Imayasu, producer at Kadokawa, said in a statement to Polygon. In a news release, Dead by Daylight game director Mathieu Côté said, “This new Chapter will give our players something intensely dark and troubling, a real heart-pounding experience that adds to the already high intensity of our game.”

Neither company confirmed which character(s) from Ringu would appear in Dead by Daylight, but given antagonist Sadako Yamamura’s prominence and iconic look - plus a teaser trailer that shows Ringu’s recognizable well - she seems like an obvious fit for a new Killer. The asymmetric horror game’s next licensed property is both inspired and perhaps a bit unexpected: Chapter 23 of Dead by Daylight will be based on Ringu, the Japanese psychological horror franchise based on Koji Suzuki’s novel that spawned numerous film adaptations and sequels, including three Hollywood movies ( The Ring, The Ring Two, and Rings).īehaviour Interactive and publisher Kadokawa revealed plans for Chapter 23 of Dead by Daylight on Tuesday, revealing that the Ringu will come to the game in March 2022.ĭetails on the collaboration between Behaviour and Kadokawa are light, but we know that the Ringu chapter will be based on both Suzuki’s original book and Hideo Nakata’s 1998 film adaptation. For the past five years, Behaviour Interactive’s Dead by Daylight has become home to some of the most famous horror properties, from Halloween to Hellraiser, from Saw to Stranger Things.
