Behaviour Interactive has rolled out the upcoming April 2025 content plan for their acclaimed horror survival game, Dead by Daylight. Since its debut in 2016, this multiplayer scare-fest has drawn over 60 million players worldwide, offering a unique one-against-four experience. Its success partly hinges on thrilling collaborations with popular franchises, and this April, players have much to anticipate.
Dead by Daylight’s latest venture plunges into the world of Tokyo Ghoul. Starting April 2, players can step into the shoes of the menacing Ken Kaneki, nicknamed The Ghoul, enriching the killer roster. On the survivor side, intriguing anime-inspired costumes await eager fans. Additionally, from April 7 to 29, the beloved Blood Moon event makes its return, offering daily login bonuses to players.
This month isn’t without its share of headlines. The enigmatic Hellraiser chapter, once featuring the chilling Pinhead since its 2021 introduction, bids farewell. While Behaviour hasn’t provided a clear reason, many speculate licensing woes as the root cause. Yet, all is not lost for devoted fans who have already unlocked him—Pinhead remains playable, just sans his chapter’s narrative.
April’s calendar is bustling with excitement. From April 12, Behaviour plans to shake things up with an in-person Dead by Daylight bash during Scotland’s Horrorcon. Players are also keenly waiting for the Player Test Build on April 15 for a sneak peek into the game’s next transformations. Mark your calendars for April 22: a Techwear collection debut pairs with the Fragment Frenzy mini-event, keeping the adrenaline high.
Even amidst the removal of staple content, enthusiasm is still in the air. This year, fans eagerly welcome the cherished Blood Moon event, and the integration of Tokyo Ghoul could very well signify a shift, opening doors for other anime adaptations. Stay tuned as Dead by Daylight continues weaving fresh stories and intense gameplay for its ever-expanding community.
