Dead by Daylight News

The next serial killer coming to Dead by Daylight is Chucky, the murderous doll from the Child's Play slasher series. While he might be a bit on the short side, as you know, it doesn't hinder him in the slightest.

But Chucky won't torment the Survivors alone: he's bringing his bride, Valentine, along on the killing spree.

In the game, Chucky will use the Slice & Dice ability, and his former human form, Charles Lee Ray, will assist him in spirit form. He also has the Scamper ability, allowing him to crawl under pallets and burst through windows.
