After taking in your feedback, we have made a few changes following our most recent Public Test Build (PTB).

• [NEW] Adding a banner spawn time multiplier based on patrol path length, up to 2x.

Dev note: It was difficult to take advantage of the guard chase time multiplier as the Survivor could quickly grab the banner to escape the guard and negate the bonus.
To make longer patrol paths more effective, we are applying a similar multiplier to banner spawn times. This means the banner will take longer to appear for longer patrol paths, up to double the normal time.

Content The Good Guy - Addons Power Drill

• Hidey-Ho Mode cooldown reduced by 10% after hitting a Survivor with Slice & Dice. (was 15%)

Automatic Screwdriver

• Missing a Slice & Dice reduces Hidey-Ho Cooldown by 8%. (was 10%)

Dev note: Currently, The Good Guy's Power incorrectly starts to recharge as soon as the Slice & Dice attack is started rather than after it finishes, making his Power recharge much faster than intended. This will be corrected in the near future. In the meantime, we have toned down these Add-Ons to make sure they don't get out of hand. They will return to their normal strength once this is resolved.

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 to see how i... Read more
