We all kind of hoped for it, and that rumor shared on reddit of an announcement during Alien Day of Alien's collaboration with Dead by Daylight made us hope even more:

But that was not the case, Alien apparently will not be coming to Behaviour Interactive's game, or, maybe they decided not to announce it on Alien Day.

Alien is one of the most requested licenses from the gaming community, and even I personally hoped that the time would finally come when we would see the Xenomorph on the world's most popular multiplayer horror game, but it didn't.

For those who don’t know what I'm talking about, Alien was born in 1979 from an idea by Dan O'Bannon and Ronald Shusett, directed by Ridley Scott and produced by 20th Century Fox, still considered one of the masterpieces of Ridley Scott and one of the best science fiction films ever. After the incredible success of the first film, others followed, with some crossover films with Predator, but no film succeeded in surprising as the first of Ridley Scott.

Since 1979, the fanbase of Alien has become huge, and huge is also the desire that the community has to see it on Dead by Daylight. On the other hand after the Demogorgon from Stranger Things, Ghostface from Scream, Pyramid Head from Silent Hill, the Nemesis from Resident Evil and all the other licensed contents, nothing seems impossible, and so dreaming is more than permissible, but there is something that could make these dreams, something actually real.

The license of Alien in fact has found a way to assert itself in the world of video games thanks to Alien: Isolation, a first-person shooter horror game developed by The Creative Assembly and published by SEGA in 2014, and that is considered one of the most successful horror single player games and one of the very few tie-ins worthy of note, with an incredible artificial intelligence and well-groomed technical side.

From that moment on, fans of Alien began to grow even within video games, eager to see maybe an Alien: Isolation 2, which due to the uninspiring sales of the first chapter, has not yet become reality. And it is therefore on Dead by Daylight that all hopes are shifted to finally see Alien in a well-known horror product, after arriving on Fortnite in 2021.

With the collaboration with Fortnite happening in 2021, and the new film in production:

This really seemed like the year to have Alien on Dead by Daylight, but maybe Behaviour Interactive has prepared an equally well-known license to celebrate the game's seventh anniversary, in fact for those who don't know, June will be the anniversary of Dead by Daylight, and each anniversary of the game has almost always been celebrated with a collaboration with a famous killer.

Do you think it will be Alien and they will announce it later, or will it be another license? Or do you prefer an original chapter?
