Raise a cup of red and stare into the scarlet depths. The essence of life, the draught of death. In its reflection, the blood moon hangs.

Dead by Daylight’s Blood Moon Event is here. From March 18th 11AM ET – March 31st 11 AM ET, step beneath the scarlet sky and experience an event that’s certain to get your heart pumping.



UPDATE (MARCH 20)
Upon collecting your feedback, we realized we fell short on delivering enough Bloodpoints. To make the Blood Moon live up to its name, we’re DOUBLING the Blood Seeker Community Challenge multipliers (up to a max of 400%). Not only that, but we’re giving 1 Million Bloodpoints to every player who logs in during the Event.

Content New Killer - The Unknown Killer Power
Press the Power button to charge UVX. Once ready, press the Attack button to launch UVX, a bouncing Projectile which creates a Blast Area upon impact. Survivors become Hindered if touched by UVX while airborne. Survivors touching the Blast Area become Weakened. Weakened Survivors lose health states if touched by Blast Area. Survivors lose Weakened by successfully Staring Down The Unknown.

Special Ability: Hallucinations
The Unknown will intermittently create up to 4 Hallucinations. Hallucinations cannot be created while charging UVX, performing interactions, or in proximity to map objects like Hooks. Whenever Survivors are touched by Blast Area or otherwise become Weakened, the next Hallucination's spawn time decreases by 10 seconds.

Special Ability: Teleport

Dead by Daylight’s All Things Wicked delves into the depths of analog horror with new Killer, The Unknown, and new Survivor, Sable Ward. A new Map, Greenville Square, is available for all players. Purchasing this add-on unlocks 2 exclusive Cosmetics: The Unknown’s Garden Casual and Sable Ward’s Designer Corset.



The new Killer is The Unknown. If you hear a soft voice crying out for help in the woods, stay the hell away. The true nature of The Unknown remains a mystery, barring one fatal certainty: to cross its path is to risk an unknowable fate.

The new Survivor is Sable Ward. While some fear the darkness, Sable Ward embraces it. Fascinated by horror and drawn to all things wicked, Sable was among the few Survivors to willingly step into The Fog in search of her best friend Mi... Read more

The All Things Wicked PTB has come and gone. As always, our team has discussed the feedback you’ve shared with us on all the new and changed content, and we’ve prepared a series of adjustments which will be made before this update goes live. In this post, we’ll go through each of them and provide a brief explanation of our thought process.

We’re trying out a new, less wordy format this time. Feel free to let us know what you think!

  • [NEW] Weakness’ duration now increases by 6 seconds when a Survivor is injured by UVX.
  • [CHANGE] Increased Hindered effect on airborne hits from 3% to 6%

Important Progress & save data information has been copied from the Live game to our PTB servers. Please note that players will be able to progress for the duration of the PTB, but none of that progress will make it back to the Live version of the game.

Content New Perk Type: Invocation Invocations are a new type of Survivor Perk. Invocations require Survivors to activate a salt circle in the Basement; on activation, a penalty is paid in exchange for a large boost.

New Survivor - Sable Ward Perks
Invocation: Weaving Spiders
  • When in the Basement near the circle, press the ability button 1 to begin the Invocation.
  • Invocations take 120/120/120 seconds. Other Survivors will see your aura during this and can join an ongoing interaction, increasing the speed by 50/50/50% each. If they have an Invo...

It’s time for another Developer Update! In this post, we’ll cover all the balance changes & improvements making their way to the game the next major update.



Killer Tweaks
For this update, we’ve given a few of the Killers in our roster both quality of life and balance improvements. We’ve identified a handful of Killers that could use some small base kit improvements to help reduce their dependency on certain Add-Ons. There’s a lot to go through, so we’ll do our best to keep them brief!

The Pig
In a shocking turn of events, we have decided to buff The Pig. More specifically, we have made improvements to both The Pig’s Ambush and Crouch abilities. The goal with these changes is to make her Ambush and stealth abilities more useful and make her less reliant on her Reverse Bear Traps.

Ambush:

Since we’ve started regularly sharing stats last year, we’ve received various requests for different kinds of data you would like to see. On top of the usual statistics we share, we’ve selected a few of the most requested topics to share with you today.

Before we dive in, we would like to remind everyone that while data may be fun to talk about, it does not paint a full picture. The numbers we’ll be sharing are very broad, covering millions of matches played all around the world, so the numbers may not reflect your personal experiences. We encourage you to have fun discussing this info, but please try not to draw any conclusions from data alone! It’s important to dig deeper understand the context behind the numbers you see; even we don’t make decisions based on data on its own.

Popular Perks
Starting things off, here’s an update to the 10 most popular Perks for each role! The percentage listed next to each Perk indicates their usage rate- in other words, the lik... Read more

For the first time, we’re excited to announce the arrival of Lights Out, a limited-time Modifier that brings a terrifying new layer of fear to Dead by Daylight.


Dead by Daylight is a horror game that revels in tension and fright, where an adrenaline-pumping chase can break out at any moment. For those who have been with us for some time, you may have grown accustomed to certain gameplay staples. Perhaps you’ve memorized a Map or figured out how to effectively counter specific characters and playstyles.

In other words, we recognize that the longer you spend in the darkness, the more your eyes adjust to the terrors lurking within.

Enter Lights Out, a limited-time Modifier that introduces a new experience for players of all levels.

WHEN: February 7th, 11 AM ET – February 14th, 11 AM ET
