Dead by Daylight’s Iron Maiden Event: A Missed Opportunity for The Legion

The collaboration between 'Dead by Daylight' and Iron Maiden brought forth numerous fantastic cosmetics, however, it missed an opportunity to add something for one of the killers.

Iron Maiden crossover in Dead by Daylight disappoints a killer.

The recent Iron Maiden collaboration in Dead by Daylight has brought in a treasure trove of cool cosmetics that players have been enjoying. However, there is one killer who was noticeably left out of the event: The Legion. This omission has resulted in a missed opportunity for one of Dead by Daylight’s most deserving killers to get a unique cosmetic.

A Unique Event Focused on New Cosmetics

Unlike many of the previous Dead by Daylight events, the Iron Maiden crossover focused solely on introducing new cosmetics and did not impact the trials in any way. While the main menu theme, featuring Iron Maiden’s iconic song “Fear of the Dark,” was a fantastic addition, the event did not introduce any new gameplay gimmicks or change the trial maps. Instead, players were treated to a fantastic set of new cosmetics for their favorite Killers and Survivors.

Dead by Daylight’s Iron Maiden Collaboration: A Treasure Trove of Cool Cosmetics

The reason why the Iron Maiden collaboration in Dead by Daylight was so well-received is because of the selection of cosmetics it offered. Four Killers, The Dredge, The Doctor, The Deathslinger, and The Oni, received new outfits inspired by Iron Maiden’s beloved mascot, Eddie. These killer skins added a unique and exciting look to the game.

In addition to the killer skins, every non-licensed Survivor also received an Iron Maiden T-shirt as part of the collaboration. This added a great sense of unity and style to the survivor roster. Overall, the event introduced plenty of cool cosmetics that Dead by Daylight players were thrilled to collect.

The Legion: A Missed Opportunity for Iron Maiden Cosmetics

Of all the killers who could have received an Iron Maiden cosmetic, The Legion seems like the most natural option. With their rock/metal-themed menu and chase themes, as well as their edgy desGameTopic and backstory, The Legion already fits the vibe of Iron Maiden’s music. They even have a perk called Iron Maiden, further emphasizing the connection.

Considering The Legion’s base outfits, which consist of jackets and hoodies, giving them Iron Maiden hoodies would have been a perfect fit. The Legion’s members feel like they would certainly embrace the chance to wear Iron Maiden merchandise. Unfortunately, they were left out of the event, and this missed opportunity is a disappointment to the fans of Dead by Daylight’s Legion.

Some Iron Maiden Hoodies Would Have Been Ideal for The Legion The Legion is about the same size as an average Survivor and wears normal jackets and hoodies in their base outfits. This presented the perfect opportunity to give them Iron Maiden hoodies. Not only would it have suited their usual desGameTopics, but it would have also made them one of Dead by Daylight’s best-dressed killers. The collaboration had the potential to elevate The Legion’s desGameTopic and make them even more popular with players, but unfortunately, they walked away empty-handed.

Conclusion: A Great Collaboration with a Missed Opportunity

The Iron Maiden collaboration in Dead by Daylight brought about a lot of fun new cosmetics that are well worth players’ attention. The selection of killer outfits based on Iron Maiden’s mascot, Eddie, has added a unique and exciting dimension to the game. However, the omission of The Legion from the collaboration was a missed opportunity. The Legion’s already established desGameTopic and affinity for rock and metal themes made them a natural fit for Iron Maiden cosmetics.

It’s unfortunate that The Legion did not receive any new cosmetics during this event. The introduction of Iron Maiden hoodies would have been an ideal addition to their wardrobe, enhancing their overall desGameTopic. Nonetheless, Dead by Daylight players can still enjoy the fantastic cosmetics that were introduced as part of this collaboration.
