Nicolas Cage Is Playing Himself in Dead by Daylight
Nicolas Cage Is Playing Himself in Dead by Daylight

While we’ll have to wait until July 5 to learn all the details of this surprise announcement, Behaviour Interactive has revealed that the actual Nicolas Cage is coming to Dead by Daylight.

Dead by Daylight’s Twitter confirmed the news, saying, “It’s the performance of a lifetime. Dead by Daylight: Nicolas Cage. Coming to a realm near you. Learn more on July 5th.”

The accompanying video gives us our first look at the actor in the game, and it appears this will be a similar case to The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent where Cage is actually playing himself and not another new character in Dead by Daylight’s universe.

“There is nothing more powerful than imagination,” Nic Cage says in the trailer. “It can shape the fabric of reality… transforming everything you think you may know.”

Behaviour stated we’d learn more about Nicolas Cage, who very well may end up being a new Survivor, on July 5, but there’s a chance he may show up at Dead by Daylight’s 7th Anniversary Stream on May 23 as well.
