Behaviour Interactive has just rolled out an exciting roadmap for April 2025 for their hit game, Dead by Daylight. Since its 2016 launch, this thrilling one-versus-four multiplayer game has captivated over 60 million players across various platforms. What keeps fans coming back? Undoubtedly, it’s the infusion of beloved characters from popular series into the PVP fun. This time, the roadmap teases some enticing updates that are sure to keep players on their toes throughout the month.
One of the biggest highlights is the new Tokyo Ghoul crossover that kicked off on April 2. This update has introduced Ken Kaneki, or “The Ghoul,” as a new killer, along with some eye-catching survivor costumes inspired by the anime. Adding to the excitement, the Blood Moon event is making a comeback from April 7 to 29, offering daily log-in bonuses and much more throughout the month.
A real-world Dead by Daylight event is on the calendar for April 12, taking place at Horrorcon in Scotland. This event is right before the next Player Test Build (PTB) scheduled for April 15, though details on the PTB remain scarce. It promises players a sneak peek into upcoming game changes. Closing out the month on April 22, a new Techwear collection and the Fragment Frenzy mini-event will be available for players to dive into.
But it’s not all rosy news for Dead by Daylight fans. The Hellraiser chapter, which brought us the iconic Cenobite, Pinhead, has been removed. Though no official statement has been provided, many suspect potential licensing issues as the cause. Thankfully, anyone who had unlocked Pinhead before the chapter’s removal can still enjoy playing as this fan-favorite character, even though the rest of the chapter is no longer accessible.
Overall, April is shaping up to be a thrilling month for Dead by Daylight players. The game’s fan base is buzzing, especially with the much-anticipated return of last year’s Blood Moon event. The developers at Behaviour seem keen on keeping the excitement rolling, and the Tokyo Ghoul crossover might be paving the way for more anime-infused elements in the future. This could mark a significant turning point, with more anime-inspired characters potentially stepping into the fray as killers in the battle against survivors.
