Dead By Daylight Slipknot Collection Trailer Has a Very Stabby Sid Wilson, DLC Out Now
A couple weeks ago, the folks behind Dead By Daylight gave the public a closer look at the game’s Slipknot collection, which adds the iconic masks to the game. Well, today’s the day the massively popular digital murder fest lets players take a stab at each other while donning the band’s iconic masks.
Released less than an hour ago, Behaviour Interactive dropped a trailer showing the only full skin in the pack, featuring Sid Wilson’s in-band character replacing the look of “The Legion.” As you can see in the clip below, he’s a very slashy, stabby boi, complete with a huge knife with “Slipknot” emblazoned on the side. The other seven masks are only replacement masks for other existing killers in the game. Basically, that means existing characters you already have access to will just look different thanks to the collection.
According to Dead By Daylight Product Manager Kirby Taylor, the addition of Slipknot’s masks adds a unique look to a game that’s been running for the last eight years.
“Getting to bring Slipknot’s iconic masks to life in Dead by Daylight was incredibly rewarding. Each mask carries a striking, distinct design, so a lot of our creative explorations were focused around finding which Killer was the perfect pairing. Unsurprisingly, they felt right at home in the world of Dead by Daylight. We’re excited to see what Outfit combinations players will come up with since most of these can be mixed with existing and future Cosmetics.”
In addition to Sid Wilson’s full skin remake of The Legion, here are the other masks and the characters that can don them according to Behaviour Interactive:
The Wraith — Metallic Grill

The sound of staccato strings resonated through the realm. The Wraith emerged from the shadows, his fingers tracing the mask that now appeared on his face.
The Deathslinger — Dominant Eye
Inspired by Jim Root (Guitar)
The Deathslinger set his sights on his target as the raw sound of guitar strings erupted in the realm. He grinned and opened fire as an ominous mask manifested over his face.
The Doctor— Zipper Mouthpiece

A mask appeared on The Doctor’s disturbing face after the unsettling tones of a distant keyboard echoed through the realm.
The Clown — Grim Circus

From behind his new mask, The Clown cackled at the thunderous clanging that resounded through the realm.
The Hillbilly — Engraved Flesh
Inspired by V-Man (Bass)
Low-frequency vibrations reverberated through the realm, distracting The Hillbilly from his destructive frenzy. He stood in the middle of the cornfield, clutching the mask of flesh that spread across his disfigured face.
The Blight — Molded Visage
Inspired by Michael Pfaff (Percussion)
As a rapid-fire pounding echoed through the realm, a gruesome mask wrapped itself around The Blight’s face, serum gurgling from his maw.
The Trapper — Ashen Quake
Inspired by Corey Taylor (Singer)
A spine-chilling growl echoed through the realm, and The Trapper found his predatory instincts concealed behind a new wicked grin.
The Legion (Frank) — Subliminal Menace — Very Rare
Inspired by Sid Wilson (Turntable)
A sinister scratching noise shattered the stifling atmosphere of the realm, and Frank watched as his mask and clothes began to change.
Unlike the Iron Maiden crossover, which not only saw cosmetic changes to killers based on the band’s iconic mascot Eddie but also included Iron Maiden t-shirts for the survivor characters, this Slipknot collab is just about the killers.
