Dead by Daylight developer Behaviour Interactive has announced the next chapter for the game and hinted at future content.
Announced during today’s sixth anniversary livestream, the next chapter will be named Roots of Dread and features a new killer, survivor and map.
Down the line there will also be another Resident Evil chapter, Attack on Titan costumes, and a Dead by Daylight dating sim.
Roots of Dread will include new killer The Dredge. Inspired by the boogeyman, the “formless mass” is a manifestation of darkness with the ability to teleport between lockers to catch survivors.
Haddie Kaur is the new survivor, an Indian-Canadian character first introduced in the Archives mode. Details of both of these characters were previously leaked.
The new map is the Garden of Joy, a twisted take on the idyllic American home that becomes “a ghostly symbol of domestic horror set against a cold and dreadful backdrop”.
“We’re thrilled to be offering our players an original Chapter for the game’s anniversary this year. Dead by Daylight has grown and diversified itself tremendously since its creation, and with Roots of Dread, we focused on the essence of the game: visceral fear and the thrill of the hunt,” said Dave Richard, creative director for Dead by Daylight.
