Dead by Daylight Dev Tracker

Our 8th Anniversary broadcast was packed with surprising new Chapter reveals, major gameplay updates, exciting news on the expansion of DbD, and so much more.

If you missed the livestream, or want to rewatch your favorite moments, we’ve got you covered with a recap.

What the Fog
We kicked things off with the surprise announcement—and release—of What the Fog, a brand-new 2 player co-op roguelite from the world of Dead by Daylight.

As if their luck couldn't get any worse, Dwight, Claudette, and Feng Min have been sucked into a cursed boardgame. Don't you hate it when that happens? Now, you and a friend will need to use the power of teamwork if you want to survive and get the fog out of there. Learn to use your newfound abilities as you run, jump, and shoot your way through swarms of enemies in this chaotic game where the action never ends—even after you die.

What the Fog is OUT NOW, and you can get it for FREE... Read more

What is that? It’s The Unknown(‘s data). In its debut month, The Unknown climbed to a 64% kill rate and a 10% usage rate.

An average of 5.76 hallucinations were dispelled per match. If you’re having a hard time facing The Unknown, be sure to dispel those hallucinations! Dispelling hallucinations prevents The Unknown from teleporting to them.


As with any new Killer, The Unknown shot to the top of the most popular Killers list. The Hillbilly, meanwhile, has now settled at a respectable 4% usage following his recent update.


After the introduction of the generator regression limit, we kept a close eye on the system ... Read more

As the 7.7.0 Update approaches, we’ve prepared some adjustments after going through the feedback we’ve collected during the Public Test Build (PTB).

• [REVERTED] Victor no longer latches onto Survivors who are put into the Dying State.

We may revisit The Twins in a future update, if necessary, but these smaller tweaks... Read more
