The multiplayer survival horror game Dead by Daylight is getting a brand new survivor in Year 8, and his name is Nic. The big news actually leaked out earlier this week, but now it’s official and real: Nicolas Cage, the man who brought us, well, Nicolas Cage, is coming to the game later this year in “the collaboration players didn’t know they needed.”<\/p>\n

Nicolas Cage is a tremendously talented actor\u2014remember, he’s won an Academy Award, a Golden Globe, and Screen Actors Guild award, and been nominated for numerous others\u2014but over the years he’s also developed a reputation for being seriously over the top, both personally and professionally. To some, it represents a deep commitment to his craft, while to others it’s just deeply weird, and there’s really no telling how much of it, if any, is a put-on: In a recent “Nicolas Cage replies to fans on the internet” video, for instance, he said the story about having two teeth pulled without anesthesia ahead to prepare for his role in Birdy was only partially true because the teeth needed to come out anyway.<\/p>\n
