Behaviour Interactive has announced its latest crossover Chapter for Dead by Daylight, this time joining forces with AMC to bring characters from The Walking Dead into the Fog. Available now on the Public Test Build, the new Chapter introduces Rick Grimes and Michonne as playable Survivors, along with a Legendary Outfit that transforms another Survivor into Daryl Dixon. The full release is slated for July 29, according to a press release.

The crossover includes six original Survivor Perks built around the characters’ unique traits and survival instincts, alongside new voice performances from Walking Dead veterans Andrew Lincoln (Rick Grimes) and Norman Reedus (Daryl Dixon). A new environmental tile also reimagines several iconic Walking Dead locations within the Garden of Joy Map, including the “Don’t Open Dead Inside” doors and the prison setting from Seasons 3 and 4.

Rick Grimes joins the roster as a versatile Survivor with a background steeped in moral conviction and brutal necessity. After a sacrificial act to protect his community, Rick awakens in the Entity’s twisted realm, bringing with him a set of Perks tailored to leadership and tactical survival. Apocalyptic Ingenuity lets Rick replace a broken pallet with a fragile substitute scavenged from a Chest, while Come and Get suppresses the sounds and trails of injured allies at the cost of Rick’s own stealth. His final Perk, Teamwork: Toughen Up, reduces pain sounds and scratch marks when an ally stuns the Killer while he’s injured.

Michonne enters The Fog driven by the same unwavering resolve that defined her in the series. After sensing that Rick might still be alive, she follows his voice through the Black Fog, arriving just in time to continue the fight. Her Perks emphasize healing, calculated aggression, and team-focused buffs. Conviction rewards successful heals with a second wind ability to recover from the Dying State, while Last Stand allows her to vault near the Killer and deliver a stun after standing in their terror radius. Teamwork: Throw Down grants nearby Survivors Endurance and vision on the Killer after a well-timed pallet stun.

Alongside Rick and Michonne, Daryl Dixon joins the roster via a Legendary Outfit that fully transforms another Survivor into the fan-favorite crossbow-wielding tracker. The Walking Dead Collection expands the cosmetic lineup with Rick’s Last Day on Earth and Brutal Awakening outfits, Michonne’s The Next World and What We Become variants, and several Uncommon recolors for both characters.

The update also introduces a new Map Tile that randomly appears when Rick or Michonne are in play on the Garden of Joy map. The tile fuses iconic visuals from the Walking Dead series with the Entity’s corrupted aesthetic, recreating memorable imagery like the hospital doors from the pilot episode while infusing them with otherworldly dread.

Dead by Daylight: The Walking Dead is now live on the Public Test Build, with the full Chapter release set for July 29 on all platforms. The official trailer the crossover with tense music but otherwise leaves much to be anticipated.
