Summary
Chandler Riggs, who portrayed Carl Grimes in AMC’sThe Walking DeadTV series, has shared that he would like to seeThe Walking Deadincorporated intoDead by Daylight. The reveal comes following a Cameo request to the actor from a proponent of adding Rick Grimes toDead by Daylight.
Dead by Daylighthas gradually built its cast of killersand survivors, turning into a full-fledged crossover of numerous different horror franchises and creations, allowing series likeSilent Hill,Resident Evil,Nightmare on Elm Street, and even creations by Junji Ito to crash into The Fog. With the game always adding new DLC, many fans have been asking for representation fromThe Walking Dead, and now Chandler Riggs has spoken up.
On Twitter, a user by the handle RickGrimes4DBD has shared a videomessage from Chandler Riggsthat they arranged for on the Cameo website. In it, Chandler addresses some of the leads ofDead by Daylight, telling them that the community is asking forThe Walking Deadprotagonist Rick Grimes to join the game, with Carl Grimes being included as a Legendary skin for him. However, Chandler especially delighted fans when he acknowledged that he himself is a fan ofDead by Daylight, having dedicated at least 500 hours to the game.
There’s a lot that goes into arranging these crossovers and acquiring the rights to the characters and likenesses involved. However, players have been given some hope, as the officialDead by DaylightTwitter account has responded to the video, expressing thanks to RickGrimes4DBD for making it happen. The message notes that it’s “always nice to make friends outside The Fog” and thanked Chandler directly. As one might expect, though, the account didn’tconfirm or deny any plans to bringThe Walking Deadcharacters toDead by Daylightin the future.
While there have been some highly-reviewed entries like Telltale’sThe Walking Dead, severalgames based onThe Walking Deadhave flopped on arrival, leaving fans disappointed. Seeing some of the series' characters integrated intoDead by Daylight,which remains quite popular,could make a lot of fans happy. While there’s no telling at this time if it happens, RickGrimes4DBD has successfully brought the demand to the attention of Behaviour Interactive. With any luck, fans will get their wish, and maybe fans will get to see Chandler playing as his “dad” himself someday.
