The new Killer is Pinhead.
Pinhead is an explorer in the further regions of experience, indulging in the limitless thrill of pleasure and pain. When the puzzle box known as the Lament Configuration—a key to another dimension—was found in The Entity’s realm, it was only a matter of time before it fell into curious hands. Once opened, he arrived. What came next was sweet suffering that spilled over the realm.

The Hellraiser Chapter includes:
  • A new Killer: The Cenobite
  • An exclusive universal charm: Lament Configuration
Available via in-game store: The Chatterer.
The Hellraiser Collection, available via the in-game store, includes a Legendary Set for Pinhead that brings The Chatterer into the Fog.

One of horror’s most twisted killers has entered the Fog. And he brought his own hooks.
See you in the Fog,

The Dead by Daylight team.
