The gaming community gears up for a thrilling addition to Dead by Daylight as a sinister new killer, The Unknown, gets ready to haunt players in the upcoming chapter, All Things Wicked. Set to terrify on all platforms starting March 12, the game offers a glimpse into this new horror through a Steam test build currently available until Monday. This enigmatic antagonist brings a chilling presence to the game, described as an evil that can cause instant death upon investigation.
New Killer and Abilities Revealed
The Unknown introduces a unique ability to the asymmetrical multiplayer horror game, wielding a “deadly toxin” that induces hallucinations. These terrifying visions enable The Unknown to switch positions with its victims, creating a disorienting and frightening experience for players. Behaviour Interactive, the developers behind Dead by Daylight, have provided a tantalizing yet redacted look at this new killer’s capabilities, heightening the anticipation for this menacing addition to the game’s roster.
Expanding the Dead by Daylight Universe
All Things Wicked also heralds the arrival of a new survivor, Sable Ward, and a novel map named Greenville Square. With locations such as a movie theater and an arcade, the map is designed to evoke nostalgia among players, reminiscent of past times spent in similar settings. This juxtaposition of familiar, comforting environments against the backdrop of a survival horror game adds a deeper layer to the gaming experience.
The update isn’t solely about new characters and maps; it also includes a variety of balance tweaks for existing killers, alongside numerous bug fixes. Players eager to try these changes or get an early encounter with The Unknown can do so by opting into the test build through the “Betas” tab in Steam’s game properties menu. However, progress made in the test build will not transfer to the main game.
While the test build for the upcoming chapter is exclusive to Steam users, the full release of All Things Wicked promises to be accessible across various gaming platforms, allowing a wider audience to face the horrors of The Unknown.
The imminent release of this new chapter underscores Dead by Daylight’s commitment to continually expanding its universe with more terrifying content, ensuring that the game remains a dynamic and engaging experience for its dedicated fan base.
