Square Enix is lending out the cast of Nier: Automata for another crossover. This time, three members of the acclaimed RPG's cast are coming to asymmetric multiplayer survival horror game Dead by Daylight. If that sounds exciting, then good news, the collaboration is available as of today, Oct. 6.

Dead by Daylight developer Behaviour Interactive announced the game's latest crossover in a reveal trailer posted to social media. On the partnership, creative director Dave Richard had this to say:

Beyond the amazing characters and incredible visuals, there's a definite connection between the themes of our two universes, both dealing with cycles of violence and suffering. Bringing 2B, A2, and Emil into The Fog gave us a chance to help celebrate what makes Nier: Automata so special to us.”

Unlike previous collaborations, the characters will be reskins of existing characters rather than completely new additions. On the Survivors' side, Feng Min is getting a 2B skin and Yui Kimura is getting an A2 skin. Both will be Legendary Outfits that come with unique music, voice lines, HUD icons, menu idle animations, and more. As for the Killer side, The Legion is getting a Very Rare Outfit inspired by Emil. This will also sort of make it feel like Nier creator Yoko Taro is personally hunting you down, so that's fun. The collection also includes an appearance by Pod 042 and Legendary portraits of 2B and A2.

It's been almost a decade since Square Enix released Nier: Automata to widespread critical acclaim, but there is no news on a follow-up.
