Highlights

  • Dead by Daylight’s crossovers with major horror franchises bring fresh content and popular characters to the game.
  • Ti West’s X trilogy offers a perfect opportunity for new Survivors and Killers in Dead by Daylight, with unique abilities and backstories.
  • The classic farm setting of X and Pearl would fit perfectly in Dead by Daylight’s maps, adding a nostalgic 70s horror vibe to the game.



Dead by Daylight is one of the top dogs of asymmetrical horror, and that’s largely due to the game’s great crossovers with major horror franchises. Whether it’s Ghostface from Scream or the Demogorgon from Stranger Things, Dead by Daylight is filled with some of the biggest names in the genre.

As the game continues to evolve, Dead by Daylight‘s crossovers bring fresh content to the game. Although there is a solid blend of both classic horror and modern franchises showcased in Dead by Daylight, one recent trilogy to enter the genre has gained a cult following that makes it perfect for the game’s next collaboration. X, Pearl, and MaXXXine form the trilogy of camp horror films brought to life by director Ti West and actress Mia Goth, and these movies would feel right at home in Dead by Daylight.

Ti West’s X Trilogy is Perfect For Dead by Daylight

The Perfect Source For New Survivors and Killers

When it comes to Ti West’s X trilogy, all three movies feature characters who would be perfect in the roles of Survivors or Killers. Dead by Daylight could, of course, feature Maxine as a Survivor, but there are various side characters that would be fun additions. Kid Cudi’s performance in X as male porn star Jackson Hole would be a fun option, while Halsey’s character Tabby Martin from MaXXXine would be fantastic as well. The entire cast of victims from X in general would be perfect as Survivors, but the strongest characters would play the role of Killer.


Pearl plays a massive part in both her standalone prequel and X as a violent and unpredictable woman. The backstory given to the titular character in Pearl showcases where her tendency for violence started, and X demonstrates how the same character still craves fame and youth as an old woman. Dead by Daylight introducing Pearl as both an old woman and her younger counterpart would be incredibly fun. One of the most gruesome scenes from Pearl involves her goring a man with a pitchfork, which would be a perfect weapon to feature in the game.

X and Pearl’s Classic Farm Setting

MaXXXine takes place in 1980s Los Angeles, but X and Pearl both take place on a remote Texas farm. The stereotypical setting is a fun callback to 70s horror, specifically The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and it’s an ideal addition to Dead by Daylight‘s maps. Coldwind Farm is a farm-based realm in the game that could easily add some X trilogy-inspired Easter eggs during a crossover event. One of the scariest moments in X is when Brittany Snow’s character, Bobby Lynne, is eaten by an alligator, so a gator-infested swamp on Coldwind Farm could be a fun nod to the films.


A Perfect Opportunity to Feature a Modern Cult Classic

Dead by Daylight is no stranger to featuring modern horror properties. Stranger Things is one of the most popular crossovers to be featured in the co-op title, but Ti West’s X trilogy is now front and center in pop culture. Now that the trilogy has come to an end with MaXXXine, it’s the perfect moment for developer Behaviour Interactive to jump on the bandwagon. If Dead by Daylight waits too long, the publicity surrounding the trilogy will likely die down, and it would be disappointing to see such a perfect crossover go to waste.


Although it’s unknown whether Dead by Daylight will feature the X trilogy or not, putting a modern cult classic in the spotlight would be thrilling. There are plenty of horror franchises that have yet to be featured in Dead by Daylight, but the X trilogy is at the top of the list.
