Nicolas Cage joins the Dead by Daylight roster, and I have concerns

This is the premise Dead by DaylightThe premise is straightforward: four survivors must escape from the evil clutches one killer. They are doomed, whether they survive or not, to continue the cycle. The game’s newest character is a pretty unusual pick — it’s real-life actor Nicolas Cage. He doesn’t appear to be playing any of his iconic roles, like Castor Troy from Face/OffEdward Malus The Wicker Man. He’s just regular ol’ Nic Cage, and he seems pretty calm about his fate.

Dead by DaylightThis film takes place within a realm hidden between reality, which is ruled over by a spider-like dark god called the Entity. It lures in new victims and traps them with fog. This forces them to enter its world as a terrorized survivor, or a brutal killer.

This is the premise Dead by DaylightThe game is so broad that you can use it as an example of a Super Mario Smash Bros. collaboration with horror series. There’s a Cenobite, a bunch of Resident Evil characters, Silent Hill stars, and classic horror slashers like Freddy Kreuger and Michael Myers on the roster alongside all the game’s own original characters. But this is the first time there’s ever been an actual celebrity included in the game, although Nicolas Cage is probably the most obvious choice for the unlikely role.

The Entity doesn’t discriminate in its selection process. The Entity has taken talk show hosts and musicians as well as tech CEOs, K Pop stars, and CIA codesplitters. And now it’s apparently captured Nicolas Cage, presumably when he was a survivor, although the circumstances of his capture are unknown. He doesn’t seem super happy to be caught in the Fog, but maybe it’s a nice break from his regimen of Batman costume maintenance and feature filming.

Behaviour Interactive posted a brief teaser showing Cage’s in-game character model. We’ll find out more about his addition to the game on July 5. I hope he holds up alright in the Fog; it’s not a very nice place. The Entity, and other killers are out to get him. If Behaviour makes another movie, it will be a good thing.
