28 Years Later Star Campaigning for Dead by Daylight Crossover
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Fifteen-year-old actor Alfie Williams wants his character from 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple added to Dead by Daylight, pointing to previous crossovers like Stranger Things as proof that younger characters can fit into the horror game.
The cast of upcoming horror sequels is already looking toward the gaming world for their next big career milestone. In an interview with IGN reported by Eurogamer, fifteen year old actor Alfie Williams shared his enthusiasm for bringing his character, Spike, from 28 Years Later and its follow-up The Bone Temple, directly into Behaviour Interactive's massive multiplayer hit, Dead by Daylight. Williams pointed out that the asymmetric horror title has previously featured teenage characters from franchises like Stranger Things, arguing that his character would fit right into the bloody trials alongside co-star Ralph Fiennes' Dr. Ian Kelson.
Dead by Daylight has cemented itself as a virtual museum for pop culture horror, featuring collaborations ranging from Silent Hill and Resident Evil to Nicolas Cage treating the fog like an average Tuesday on set. Adding another major modern cinematic horror franchise feels like a natural step for a live service game that continues to pull massive concurrent numbers on Steam years after launch. Fans on social platforms and streaming spaces are already discussing perk concepts for the potential crossover, though hunting down a literal teenager in game might test the conscience of even the most dedicated Killer mains.
Whether Behaviour Interactive answers the call remains to be seen, but the studio has never shied away from ambitious licensed drops. As digital economies, battle passes, and high profile crossovers continue to drive player engagement across PC and consoles, a post apocalyptic movie tie-in makes complete commercial sense. For now, players can keep dropping into matches across platforms while keeping an eye out for whether the infection of Danny Boyle's iconic universe makes the jump to the Fog.
