Jake Park is one of 41 Survivors currently featured in Dead by Daylight.
He was introduced as a member of the original Survivor Quartet that released with the Game on 14 June 2016.
Overview
A solitary specialist, Jake Park’s time in the wilderness has sharpened his survival instincts. Stealthy and resourceful, the only sign of his presence are the Sabotaged Hooks he leaves behind. |
Jake Park is a solitary Survivalist, able to hold his own in most situations.
His personal Perks, Iron Will, Calm Spirit, and Saboteur, allow him to more effectively move about the environment and survive while injured.
He is all about keeping calm as you face true terror. He is one with nature and used to surviving by any makeshift way possible.
Lore
- Additional Lore can be found in Tome 8 - Deliverance: Exile of the Kingdom & Event Tome 2 - Twisted Masquerade 2022: Jezabel.
Growing up the son of a wealthy CEO was always going to put pressure on Jake Park. When his brother graduated with honours from Yale, the pressure on Jake intensified. Jake just wasn't the academic type, but his father never really understood his refusal to embrace the expensive education he lavished upon him. Eventually, Jake rebelled by dropping out of school entirely. Now, Jake lives off the grid on the edge of the woods. It's been years since he spoke to his father but his mother checks in once in a while. It was she, who eventually called the police. The cops said he got lost in the woods and a search party looked for days, but gave up as bad weather rolled in. Despite passionate pleas from his mother, they never resumed the search and Jake went down in history as another casualty of the woods.
Jake's destiny was set even inside his mother's womb. Heir to wealth, noble manners and caretaker of the family reputation and legacy. During torture it's not pain that breaks a man, it's immense pressure. And Jake couldn't handle any more pressure. Instead he sought the opposite of fine dining and maids. He left the grid and ended up with a forest as closest neighbour. A self made outsider, Jake understands nature. He's not there to tame something - rather him becoming feral. Remove the brutal Killers that seek out blood to drain and Jake would feel just at home. No Wi-Fi. No Fortune-500 companies. No father or mother. Years away from modern life has given Jake a new feel for problems. Pain is just an obstacle that hinders you from getting fed. No matter what is hunting you, you need to stay one step ahead. Struggle, blend in, adapt. Just don’t make it easy for others to erase you from the Earth's surface.

Change Log
Patch 5.1.0
- Rework: updated facial model and texture as part of The Realm Beyond - Part 6 Graphical Update.
Trivia
- Jake is one of the four original Survivors who was first introduced to Dead by Daylight.
- The other three Survivors are Dwight Fairfield, Meg Thomas and Claudette Morel.
- Jake has been through several model changes since Dead by Daylight's early development.
- In Dead by Daylight ALPHA, Jake had a completely different character model and ethnicity, portraying a portly American skater teen.
- In Dead by Daylight BETA, Jake's ethnicity was changed once more to a model which closely resembles his early design and concept art.
- Images of ALPHA/BETA Jake can be found in the Gallery below.
- It is hinted that Jake is left-handed as evident in his figurine charm and his Surf Survivor Outfit.
Character Inspiration
- Prior to his model's update, Jake was originally modelled after the likeness of Alex Lin, who at the time was a Product Manager at BHVR, who also voiced The Doctor and had Alex's Toolbox named after him.
Ethnicity
- While it was never part of his original Lore, it was confirmed by Alex Lin that Jake was originally from South Korea (see Gallery).[1]
- Another indication of Jake's heritage can be found in his Lunar Fusion Outfit, which is a modernised "Hanbok".
- The Korean localisation of Dead by Daylight displays his last name as 파크 ("Pakeu") instead of 박 ("Bak"), the latter being the official spelling of the surname in Korean.
- Contrary to popular belief, Jake's Tome Lore, Exile of the Kingdom, implies that his family had moved to the United States later in his life and that South Korea was in fact his country of birth where he grew up during his youth.
Character Meme
- Sabo Jake: this meme originated during the times Hooks could be permanently broken with Sabotage, for which Jake was a favourite pick due to him owning Saboteur.
Voice Actor
- Jake is voiced by Kevin Boissonneault, who at that time worked as a System Programmer on the Game.
Sam Park
- In the entry Jezabel in Event Tome 2 - Twisted Masquerade 2022, it is revealed that the name of Jake's father is "Sam Park".
- In the entry Journal of a Moving Picture. Human Books. in Event Tome 3 - Haunted by Daylight 2022, it is revealed that Jake's father had written a codex.
The codex is used by a group travelling through the Realms of The Entity in search of the numerous tower-like structure that appear to act as safekeeps for information and secrets.
