Dead by Daylight introduces Ken Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul

Dead by Daylight is set to preview its new chapter based on Five Nights at Freddy’s. Fans are excited and already talking about future chapters and characters. Recently, the game added a new killer, Ken Kaneki, from the anime Tokyo Ghoul. This has sparked a conversation about the potential for more anime characters in the game. The Tokyo Ghoul chapter is not the first time Dead by Daylight has included anime elements. Previously, collaborations featured characters from Attack on Titan and Junji Ito's works, which were offered as skins. However, Ken Kaneki is the first entirely new character added from anime, leading many to hope for more in the future. Japanese comics and animation have a rich variety of characters that could fit into Dead by Daylight. The works of Junji Ito, known for their unique and eerie themes, could provide excellent candidates for new killers or survivors. Characters like Kirie Goshima from Uzumaki could offer a fresh twist to the game. Another idea is to include characters from horror-adjacent anime, like Alucard from Hellsing or the duo Light and Ryuk from Death Note. There are also interesting options from series like Devilman Crybaby and Parasyte. For example, Himiko Toga from My Hero Academia could make an exciting killer with unique abilities. While many fans support the inclusion of more anime characters, some express concerns. Skeptics worry about how these characters fit with the series, which traditionally includes only live-action characters. They fear the animated style of characters may clash with others like Sadako Yamamura or Michael Myers. Despite these concerns, many believe that the game can accommodate characters from various genres. With a mix of horror icons already in place, fans feel that incorporating famous anime characters could enhance the game further.
