Dead by Daylight has partnered with the Resident Evil franchise to create two chapters that have introduced numerous iconic characters to the game, including Resident Evil's most iconic heroes and villains alike. Past those two full chapters that introduced the likes of The Nemesis, Albert Wesker, Leon S. Kennedy, Ada Wong, and more, Capcom has also brought quite a few Resident Evil skins to the game for existing characters.
In this guide, we'll list all of the playable characters from Resident Evil that you can play in Dead by Daylight, as well as all of the skins available for those characters.
1 June 2023 - We've updated this article to add any new Resident Evil skins or characters.
Resident Evil x Dead By Daylight Characters
Between the original Resident Evil x Dead by Daylight chapter and Project W, Capcom and Behaviour Interactive have paired up to introduce an increasingly large cast of Resident Evil characters into the fog.
We've listed all the Resident Evil characters you can play in Dead by Daylight below. Those that are listed as Legendary Skins can only be equipped as a Legendary skin for another character, and do not have their own unique powers. The other characters can be bought individually and do have their own perks and powers.
- Ada Wong
- Albert Wesker
- Carlos Oliveira (Legendary Skin)
- Chris Redfield (Legendary Skin)
- Claire Redfield (Legendary Skin)
- Hunk (Legendary Skin)
- Jill Valentine
- Leon S. Kennedy

- William Birkin (Legendary Skin)
Resident Evil x Dead By Daylight Skins
There are both Very Rare and Legendary Resident Evil skins. Very Rare skins are cosmetics for characters such as new outfits or cosplays, while Legendary skins completely change the identity of the character - for example, Carlos Oliveria is a Legendary skin for Leon S. Kennedy.
