Castlevania’s Dracula and Trevor Belmont Come to Dead by Daylight

Feel the scarlet eyes upon you, accursed and ravenous. Dead by Daylight: Castlevania is here, bringing Dracula and Trevor Belmont into The Fog.

Embody The Night

Dracula is the first shapeshifting Killer in Dead by Daylight, with 3 unique forms that offer distinct gameplay experiences: Vampire, Wolf, and Bat.

Castlevania’s Dracula and Trevor Belmont Come to Dead by Daylight

Vampire form is a base form of sorts, with the ability to fire a Flame Pillar that can traverse through objects like Windows and Pallets. The Wolf excels at hunting and can easily detect and down Survivors. The Bat is quick and quiet with a deadly teleport ability, though it lacks the ability to see Survivors. 

The design intent behind the multiple forms – beyond immersing players in the ultimate gothic power fantasy – was to provide a variety of fun and engaging gameplay options. While the Wolf and Bat form can be cycled situationally, players can engage with them as often as they like.

The Dark Lord arrives with three Perks, well suited to exploiting the misguided hubris humans are so accustomed to feeling.

Hex: Wretched Fate afflicts one Survivor – the Obsession – with an impeding curse, rendering their Repair speed to a sluggish state. While this Hex is active, Dracula players can rest assured that their Obsession will not be efficiently contributing to their Objective, granting space to pursue different alternative targets.

For added pressure, consider pairing Hex: Wretched Fate with additional Hex support Perks, to ensure it remains in play for as long as possible.

Human Greed shall be their downfall, and Dracula will be quick to capitalize on it with this anti-resource Perk. Over the course of a Trial, Survivors may be keen on seeking out Chests to replenish on their Items. This Perk allows you to oversee all unopened Chests on the Map, revealing the Aura of any Survivor that approaches one.

If you manage to interrupt them while they’re rummaging, Human Greed grants you the ability to slam the Chest shut and force them to restart the process entirely.

Continuing the anti-resource streak is Dominance, which calls upon The Entity to temporarily block Survivors from interacting with Chests and Totems. This pairs quite nicely with Draculas’ own Hex: Wretched Fate, which automatically ensures that Wretched Fate will remain in play for a little longer.

As any Killer player who’s seen a pre-game lobby screen knows, Survivors love their Items. Use that to your advantage and make them rue the day.

The Belmont Legacy

Trevor Belmont is no stranger to the supernatural, and his latest dance with the Dark Lord will be unlike any he’s ever faced. His abilities manifest through 3 unique character Perks, which can grant him a valuable edge in the darkest hour.

The things he’s seen will not soon be forgotten. The Eyes of Belmont are no stranger to evil, but Trevor is not one to blink in its presence. Once a Generator is completed, the Killer’s Aura will be briefly revealed. Beyond that, any other Perk that reveals the Killer’s Aura will extend the reveal time.

Only a Belmont can find Exultation in the face of horror. While pursued with an Item in hand, Pallet stunning a Killer will instantly upgrade that Item to the next Tier. Players would be wise to plunder through Chests to keep their Item supply replenished.

Moment of Glory is another Item-centered Perk, activating after rummaging through several Chests. Once the required number has been reached, Players will gain the ability to become Broken instead of Injured. Should they manage to Survive for a duration, they will be instantly healed.

While risky, this can be immensely valuable in an extensive chase, especially if the Killer does not expect it. Consider this with any Perk that might give your looping skills an edge, buying you extra time to wait out the clock.

It’s always exciting when legendary horror gaming characters come to The Fog, and Dead by Daylight: Castlevania delivers two of the most iconic. Experience it now on Xbox.
