New Killer: Ken Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul

In a groundbreaking crossover, Dead by Daylight introduces Ken Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul as a new Killer. Originally a protagonist, Kaneki’s transformation into a half-ghoul makes him a formidable adversary. His abilities include rapid regeneration and tentacle attacks, offering a fresh challenge for Survivors. This update, launched on April 2, also features themed cosmetics inspired by the anime.

Upcoming Collaboration: Five Nights at Freddy’s

Anticipation builds as Dead by Daylight announces a collaboration with Five Nights at Freddy’s, set for Summer 2025. While specific details remain under wraps, fans speculate the inclusion of characters like Springtrap as new Killers. This partnership celebrates FNAF’s 10-year anniversary, promising a nostalgic yet terrifying experience.

Quality of Life Improvements

Responding to community feedback, Behaviour Interactive launches a two-phase Quality of Life Initiative:

• Surrender Option: Allows matches to end early under specific conditions, reducing player frustration.

• Gamma Settings: Players can now adjust brightness levels for better visibility.

• Anti-Griefing Measures: New systems detect and penalize unsportsmanlike behaviors, such as intentional game-throwing or excessive hiding.

• Map Offering Adjustments: Map Offerings now increase the chance of a specific map appearing by 20% instead of guaranteeing it, balancing gameplay dynamics.

Themed Cosmetic Collections

Dead by Daylight continues to expand its universe with themed cosmetic collections:

• The Witcher Collection: Features outfits for characters like Geralt of Rivia and the Leshen, complete with voice lines by original actors.

• Junji Ito Collection: Introduces skins inspired by the renowned horror manga artist, including characters like Tomie and Miss Fuchi.

With these exciting updates, Dead by Daylight solidifies its position as a dynamic and immersive horror gaming experience, continually offering players new challenges and content.
