DBD Anniversary 2023 start time, Twisted Masquerade rewards, and more

When is the Dead by Daylight anniversary event 2023? Every year, to celebrate the original release date of the asymmetrical horror game, players are invited to a very twisted masquerade. This year is no different, and the annual DBD anniversary event is back this June.


During the Dead by Daylight 7th anniversary livestream, we received the news that we were all expecting: the Twisted Masquerade anniversary event would be returning to the horror game once again. In celebration of the game's birthday, new daily login rewards and event cosmetics will be made available for a limited time for both Dead by Daylight killers and survivor mains. If you can't wait for those freebies, then make sure you've redeemed all of the current DBD codes, but read on for more details on the DBD anniversary event rewards, start time, and more.

Dead by Daylight’s Twisted Masquerade Event Returns

Dead by Daylight’s Twisted Masquerade is back, signalling the return of unlockable masks, event-themed Hooks and Generators, new Offerings, exciting new gameplay interactions, and even a few otherworldly visitors. Come one, come all, and soak up all the splendour – you might never want to leave.

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]

[h3]A CORDIAL INVITATION[/h3]

From June 22nd 11AM ET - July 13th 11AM ET, the Twisted Masquerade will decorate The Entity’s Realms with a luxurious update. Think a Generator is a practical, unsightly piece of machinery? You clearly haven’t seen it decked out in Masquerade attire. We’re also decorating Hooks, Lockers, and even giving a complete makeover to Father Campbell’s Chapel, so keep an eye out – at your own peril, of course...

The Bloodweb will also be filled with several limited-time event Items, including Masquerade Flashlights, Toolboxes, Medkits, and the delectable Terrormisu, a new recipe enhanced by one or two secret ingredients.











[h3]MASK UP [/h3]

Carrying on tradition from last year, Invitations will be placed throughout every Trial. Sitting ever so temptingly atop an ornate pillar, these Invitations won’t linger in the same place for long, triggering a sound cue after relocating. Upon finding and claiming one, both Killers and Survivors will gain the ability to earn one of 12 exclusive mask cosmetics once a specific condition is met – more on that in a bit.

Each Invitation holds several charges, which can be spent to gain a quick benefit in game. For Survivors, spend one charge to block Window vaults for the Killer or spawn a Fragile Pallet that will break upon use. For Killers, charges can be spent to remotely break a Pallet, reduce the impact of a stun, or Expose a Survivor upon reaching Bloodlust.

[h3]UNLOCKING MASKS[/h3]

So how do you unlock a Mask?

Glad you asked. To unlock a Mask as both Killers and Survivors, you must have at least one charge remaining in your Invitation when the Exit Gates or Hatch open. Of course, you’ll have to resist the urge to use all those sweet charges during the Trial, but that’s your decision to make.

Who gets a Mask?

This year, we’ve got 12 new masks for Killers and Survivors. Please note that these masks are unlocked in random order, regardless of what role you play.

KILLERS
  • The Nurse
  • The Legion
  • The Oni
  • The Blight
  • The Knight
  • The Singularity


SURVIVORS
  • Meg Thomas
  • Jeff Johansen
  • Zarina Kassir
  • Felix Richter
  • Jonah Vasquez
  • Gabriel Soma




[h3]EVENT TOME & COMMUNITY CHALLENGES[/h3]

The Twisted Masquerade once again features an Event Tome, complete with two levels of new Challenges to overcome. This time around, our Tome’s guests of honor are a few fan favorites: The Hillbilly and Nea Karlsson.

If you want to ensure they’re abiding by the Masquerade’s brutally strict dress code, you’ll have to make your way through the Event Tome and earn their Outfits the good old-fashioned way.

  • The Hillbilly– Masquerade Chainsaw
  • Nea Karlsson – Masquerade Shadow










And of course, there will be Charms to unlock as well: Dancing Marionettes, Crow In Disguise, Absurd Celebration, and Bloody Fountain. What better way to showcase that you were there for the second-ever Twisted Masquerade?



[h3]DAILY LOGIN REWARDS[/h3]

We’re also bringing back the Twisted Masquerade Outfits from last year’s bash, The Dredge’s Masquerade Colors and Haddie Kaur’s Masquerade Outfit. Every earnable mask from last year will also be available for purchase. Head to the in-game store to add them to your wardrobe and remember – these Outfits are only available during Anniversary season.










[h3]ANNIVERSARY SALES[/h3]

Did we mention it’s a time to celebrate? Enjoy some massive sales on Outfits and characters, including up to 50% off nearly all characters released before Tools of Torment, with some exceptions. And since we know how certain parts of our community can get, we feel the need to clarify – the Outfits are 30% off all prices. Though evidently, the long-requested “shirtless Felix” is indeed part of the deal...

  • 30% off Outfits released before End Transmission Chapter
  • 50% off characters released before Tools of Torment (exceptions below)
  • 30% off The Nemesis, Leon S. Kennedy, Jill Valentine, The Mastermind, Ada Wong, Rebecca Chambers, The Shape, Laurie Strode, The Ghost Face, The Onryo, and Yoichi Asakawa.
  • 25% off Tools of Torment characters




We hope you enjoy your time with the Twisted Masquerade, and we’d like to sincerely thank you for spending time with us in The Fog. Be sure to let loose and enjoy the party, gorge on an abundance of Terrormisu, and stuff that wardrobe with more masks than anyone can conceivably wear in a single lifetime.

See you in the Fog,

The Dead by Daylight team

Our Dead by Daylight crossover dreams were just officially crushed

Dead by Daylight makes you accustomed to disappointment. You've fired up all the generators, kept your buddies alive, and then suddenly, there's a telepathic DBD killer who's managed to beat you to the exit gate, and just picks you off one by one like they're checking your wristbands for some especially macabre nightclub. The BHVR horror game revels in killing your dreams. And now, after the fantastic Silent Hill, Resident Evil, and even Nicolas freakin' Cage crossovers, our ideal collab is seemingly, officially dead. Dead by Daylight Terrifier is apparently not happening - although, like with a particularly torturous hook-camping killer who keeps leaving then coming back, leaving and coming back, there actually remains a fragment of painful hope.
