Back in November, Behaviour Interactive teased an upcoming collaboration between multiplayer action horror game Dead by Daylight and legendary manga artist Junji Ito, with the eight outfits of the Junji Ito Collection officially going live today.
Among the new skins available are some of Ito's most famous characters, including the seductive succubus Tomie and everyone's favorite nail-biting trickster, Soichi.
Per an official press release from Crunchyroll, who also had a hand in bringing these terrifying creations to life:
The Collection aims to offer long-time admirers a fresh way to experience Ito’s creations, while introducing an entirely new audience to his work. From a human marionette puppeted through the world on strings, to a man able to produce and spit nails from his mouth, Ito’s characters range from the unsettling to the unthinkable. A perfect fit to join the rest of the tortured souls lost in The Fog.
The full list of new outfits reads as follows:
- Miss Fuchi – Legendary Outfit for The Artist, taken from the stories “Rumors” and “Fashion Model”
- Tomie – Legendary Outfit for The Spirit, taken from the story “Tomie”
- Hikizuris’ Dark Past – Very Rare Outfit for The Twins, inspired by “The Bizarre Hikizuri Siblings: The Séance”
- Soichi’s Pary Clothes – Very Rare Outfit for The Trickster, inspired by the character Soichi Tsujii from multiple stories
- Half Spirits’ Torments – Ultra Rare Outfit for The Dredge, inspired by “Story of the Mysterious Tunnel”
- Tsukiko’s Uniform – Very Rare Outfit for Yui Kimura, inspired by the story “Tomie”
- Terumi’s Fame – Very Rare Outfit for Yun-Jin Lee, inspired by the story “The Hanging Balloons”
- Puppet’s Troubled Ballet – Very Rare Outfit for Kate Denson, inspired by the story “Marionette Mansion”
Ito expressed his excitement for the collection:
“This time, I had the opportunity to experience playing Dead by Daylight. The characters I created become killers and do some very horrible things in the game […] It was very moving to see that they had become even more terrifying characters after leaving my hands.”
The Junji Ito Collection is available in Dead by Daylight on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and Nintendo Switch.
