Dead by Daylightrevealed the newRainbow Sixcontent in a short trailer. TheRainbow Six SiegeCollection does not introduce any new Survivors or Killers. Instead, it offers alternate skins for three existing characters. Each is based on one of the Operators from Ubisoft’s popular multiplayer first-person shooter. Behavior Interactive announced the crossover in its November 2023 roadmap, but the new trailer is the first look at the new content.
Dead By Daylight’s Jamaican teacher, Adam Francis, can equip Waimi’s Suit, while German architect Felix Richter gets Blitz Uniform. Both skins are of Very Rare rarity, and theDead by Daylightversions definitely seem worse for wear. Richter, in particular, seems to have crawled through quite a lot of mud after equipping Blitz’s helmet and pads. However, dirt is not a problem forDead by Daylight’s Renato Lyrain his Legendary Tubarão skin.
Crossovers are nothing new forDead by Daylight, thoughRainbow Six Siegeis an unexpected choice. Past crossovers included games, movies, comics, and even web series, but were usually firmly part of the horror genre, though this is not universally true. For example, Behavior released theAttack on Titancrossover in May 2022. While perhaps horror-adjacent, it isn’t really horror in the usual sense. While not technically a crossover, July 2023 also saw the release ofDead by Daylight’s Nicholas Cage Chapter Pack, which adds the legendary actor as a playable survivor.
Still,Rainbow Six Siegeis probably not what anyone would have guessed as aDead by Daylightvideo game crossover. However, this does potentially open the door for other unusual crossovers. While characters like Alan Wake or Isaac Clarke might feel like more natural fits, there’s no saying that Lara Croft or John Marston couldn’t also show up at some point, assuming the publishers involved are interested.
