Get the details below.
Kicking Off Year 8
The Dead by Daylight team has planned tons of exciting content, including upgrades to existing gameplay mechanics and new quality-of-life additions.
In the coming year, fans can expect four new Chapters but in a surprising twist, they can also expect two additional Chapters that are Survivor-only. Dead by Daylight‘s next Chapter, “End Transmission,” is an original one that promises to keep players on their toes. It will be followed by the addition of icon Nicolas Cage as a Survivor in the game. Then, two licensed Killers will be joining the game. Come January, you can expect our last Survivor-only Chapter to be released. Lastly, and before the next Anniversary, an Original Chapter will also see the light of day.
End Transmission
The new Dead by Daylight Chapter, “End Transmission,” introduces science-fiction horror to the acclaimed action horror game.
With a new Map, “Toba Landing,” set on a mysterious and terrifying planet, the Chapter takes players into a unique biome with menacing flora and an atmosphere unlike anything on Earth.
The newest Killer, “The Singularity,” is a monstrous amalgamation of restructured organic matter and machine parts seeking to become the perfect lifeform.
Hope rests with new Survivor Gabriel Soma, a talented technician whose determination helped him escape The Singularity and avoid the terrible fate that befell his crew.
“We’re thrilled to push the fear of the unknown to new heights with ‘End Transmission’,” said Dead by Daylight creative director Dave Richard. “With this new Chapter we are expanding the bounds of The Entity’s reach and exploring dark themes of advanced technology and I think this will be a very frightening experience for all players.”
“End Transmission” will be released on June 13, 2023 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Windows Store.
Nicolas Cage: A Thespian steps into The Fog
It is the collaboration players didn’t know they needed. The Dead by Daylight team is thrilled to announce the arrival of the incomparable Hollywood legend: Nicolas Cage. In his deadliest role yet, the award-winning actor will step into The Fog as himself, yet another Survivor doomed to fight for his life in The Entity’s Realm. Players can learn more about this thrilling addition on July 5, 2023.
Fashion Forward
Exciting new cosmetics are on the way! The Dead by Daylight team is delighted to honor metal legends Iron Maiden and Slipknot with their own Collections. The Iron Maiden Collection is inspired by Eddie, the band’s figurehead, and its numerous appearances on the group’s album artwork, while the Slipknot Collection features nine iconic Killer masks that pay tribute to Slipknot’s members. Stay tuned for more details.
The upcoming Artists from The Fog Collection sets the spotlight on Dead by Daylight‘s incredibly talented community, and features four creators from Canada, the United States, Poland, and Spain designing Outfits for two Killers and two Survivors. The fifth artist hails from Japan and is none other than the colorful creative director, Ikumi Nakamura, who designed Cosmetics for The Oni, The Legion, and Yui Kimura. The 7-Outfit Artists From The Fog Collection will be available later this summer.
Lastly, fans can expect another major addition to the store offering in the next year with a Collection that will be nostalgic for long-time followers of Behaviour Interactive’s work. Naughty Bear, the beloved deadly plushy going on a wild rampage, will be making its way to the game in the form of an Outfit for The Trapper, complete with a unique Mori.
