Dead by Daylight NEEDS the X Trilogy Crossover NOW!

As a hardcore Dead by Daylight player who’s obsessed with every new chapter and killer, I can’t stop thinking about one perfect, missed opportunity. We’ve had Ghostface, we’ve survived against Demogorgons, and we’ve faced classics like Michael Myers. But in 2025, the horror scene has a new queen, and her name is Mia Goth. Ti West’s X, Pearl, and MaXXXine trilogy is THE modern cult classic that’s screaming for a spot in the Entity’s realm. Let me break down why this needs to happen before the hype totally fades!

First up, the CAST of characters is a Behaviour Interactive dream board. 🎬

The trilogy is packed with potential Survivors and Killers. Of course, Maxine Minx from X and MaXXXine is the obvious Survivor pick—a final girl with sheer ambition and survival instinct. But imagine the fun of playing as other victims from the farm! 😱

• Jackson Hole (played by Kid Cudi in X) as a chill, resourceful Survivor.

• Tabby Martin (Halsey in MaXXXine) bringing that 80s Hollywood vibe.

• Bobby-Lynne (Brittany Snow)… maybe with a special perk related to, uh, avoiding swamps? 😅

But the REAL star, the one who would dominate as a Killer, is Pearl. This character is a masterpiece of horror. We’ve seen her as a young, unstable dreamer in Pearl and as a jealous, violent elderly woman in X. The devs could do something incredible: introduce Pearl as a Killer with two forms—young and old—that switch based on her power. Her weapon? That iconic, brutal pitchfork from one of the most gruesome scenes in the prequel. Just imagine the mori! 💀

The MAP potential is insane and fits DbD like a glove. 🗺️

X and Pearl are set on a remote, creepy Texas farm. Hello? Coldwind Farm is RIGHT THERE! The existing realm could get a glorious, blood-soaked makeover for a crossover event. Think:

• The dusty, claustrophobic farmhouse from the movies.

• A new area: a gator-infested swamp as a terrifying nod to Bobby-Lynne’s fate. (RIP!)

• Hidden Easter eggs like the old movie projector or Pearl’s magazine clippings.

It’s the perfect blend of classic 70s horror atmosphere that DbD’s maps thrive on. MaXXXine’s 1980s Los Angeles could even inspire a killer new cosmetic set for Maxine—big hair, neon spandex, the works! ✨

Why the timing is PERFECT (and urgent!) ⏰

The trilogy wrapped up with MaXXXine last year. It’s fresh, it’s relevant, and it has a massive, dedicated fanbase. DbD has successfully tapped into modern hits like Stranger Things, but the X trilogy represents the new wave of critically acclaimed, audience-beloved horror. If Behaviour Interactive waits too long, the cultural moment might pass. We can’t let that happen! This isn’t just another crossover; it’s a chance to cement DbD’s place at the forefront of celebrating horror’s past, present, and future.

So, Behaviour, if you’re listening… the community is ready. The assets are iconic. The terror is palpable. Let’s get Pearl and her pitchfork into the Fog before 2025 is over! 🙏 What do you all think? Which character from the trilogy would you main? 👇
