Alien Infestation
A fan-fabricated concept with no place in the true history of The Entity's Realm.
There is no official narrative arc or timeline event titled 'Alien Infestation' within the Dead by Daylight universe. The game's lore is strictly grounded in a supernatural horror setting involving the Entity, the Cult of the Broken Mask, and various serial killers or fictional monsters from established horror franchises like Xenomorphs (Alien) are not part of the story. While fans often discuss potential crossovers or imagine 'what if' scenarios involving extraterrestrial threats, no such event has occurred in the canonical history of The Realm.

Lore & Background
In the official canon, there are no alien invasions, space-faring vessels, or extraterrestrial colonies within The Realm. The horror stems from the psychological and physical torment inflicted by The Entity itself. Any discussion of an 'Alien Infestation' is purely a product of community imagination, speculation about future DLC, or confusion with the visual design of specific characters. The story remains focused on the cycle of blood, fear, and the desperate struggle for escape that defines every trial.
In Their Own Story
The fog rolled in thick and heavy, smelling of ozone and rotting meat, but there was no sky above to be pierced by a ship. There were only the towering, twisted trees of The Entity's domain and the distant, rhythmic screech of a creature that did not belong to any earth or star. A survivor stumbled through the mud, expecting an alien hive, but found only the familiar, jagged iron trap of a generator. The horror here was not of invasion from without, but the eternal imprisonment within.
Reader's Guide
Event Sequence: No official event sequence exists for this concept. The narrative arc remains focused on the Entity's trials. Key Figures Involved: The Entity is the sole architect of the Realm; no alien forces are canonically present as active agents of change in the timeline. Consequences: Since the infestation never happened, there are no consequences to record. The world state remains unchanged from its established lore regarding extraterrestrial life. In-Game Chapters: While the Xenomorph Killer was introduced via a collaboration chapter, this is a character addition, not a narrative event of infestation. Fans should distinguish between character skins and actual plot developments.
