Dead by Daylight's newest character: Nicolas Cage
What does Dead by Daylight’s newest character, Nicolas Cage, look like? It’s a fair question, given that many people have already voiced disappointment at Cage’s design in the multiplayer game. Some Dead by Daylight users think Cage’s character doesn’t resemble the iconic actor at all, while others compare him to different actors, or even a character from a web series. But Cage’s addition to the game has sparked a variety of reactions, from disappointment to excitement, with gamers discussing his appearance, perks, and the reasons behind his inclusion in Dead by Daylight.
The announcement of Cage’s addition to Dead by Daylight also sparked discussions about his recent film, Willy’s Wonderland, where the killers in the game are in for a nasty surprise.
Some found it amusing that even their non-gamer significant others thought Cage had no idea what a video game was when he announced his involvement in Dead by Daylight. Others made comparisons to other games that have made nonsensical crossovers, suggesting that Cage’s addition is not unique in the gaming industry. But what exactly made Dead by Daylight makers Behaviour Interactive add Nicolas Cage to their game? And what do Dead by Daylight players think of his appearance? Here’s what the game’s community had to say about Cage’s addition.
Nicolas Cage’s Dead by Daylight design
Some users think that Cage’s character doesn’t resemble him at all, while others point out that he does resemble his son, Weston Cage. Others compare him to other actors and even a character from a web series. However, there are those who praise Cage’s unique perks that he brings to the game.
“Nicolas Cage’s character is … a survivor,” one user writes. “He has some interesting perks: one of them is the ability to see the killer’s aura, and another is a perk that allows him to put himself in the dying state. He’s a very good chaser – he can track and hunt the survivors.” Others are excited about this, as putting yourself in the dying state allows you to see the killer’s aura, which could be extremely helpful in catching them off guard.

There are also mixed opinions about why Cage was added to the game. Some speculate that Cage’s son, Weston, is a fan of the game and recommended Cage to join. Others mention his love for Sadako, another character in the game, and suggest that he was added for promotional reasons.
“They probably added him for the same reason they added Sadako – he’s popular and has done lots of scary films on Shudder,” another user writes. “So they thought ‘why not add him?’.” Others feel that adding Nicolas Cage to Dead by Daylight is a weird choice.
“I know it’s just a video game, but I feel like a lot of people know him and his movies,” one user writes. “So it’s going to be a pretty weird experience, you’ll be chasing a killer that looks like a famous actor.” Others, however, think it’s simply a matter of money and his popularity in scary films on Shudder.
This is just the beginning of the Dead by Daylight Cage era, so stay tuned for more news and updates from the multiplayer game.
