Dead by Daylight News

The new Killer is The Artist.
Carmina Mora’s surrealist paintings were both compelling and controversial. After a brutal encounter left her maimed, The Artist was taken by The Entity. Twisted into a grotesque vessel of vengeance, she turned anyone in her path into carrion for the flock.

The new Survivor is Jonah Vasquez.
Deciphering math equations and the secrets within was second nature for the seasoned codebreaker. Now, he sees the ominous truth at every turn. A formula pointing to a haunting reality beyond comprehension. But as Vasquez knows better than most, there’s strength in numbers.

The Portrait of a Murder Chapter includes:
  • A new Killer: The Artist
  • A new Survivor: Jonah Vasquez
  • An exclusive item for Jonah: Crimson Shirt


Available to all players is also the new Chapter map: Eyrie of Crows. The chance of being sent to the Eyrie of Crows map will be increased for the first week of its release.



Time stands still in the Forsaken Boneyard Realm – but you’d be wise to keep moving. The Portrait of a Murder Chapter is available now.

Dead By Daylight will be free on the Epic Games Store next week

Next week's free game on the Epic Games Store will be a big'un: Dead By Daylight. I've been impressed by the 1v4 multiplayer horror game, watching it steadily grow into one of Steam's most popular after a while looking like it might slip a way, so that's a nice get. But before then, Epic are currently giving away a whole other manner of slaughter, the hunting sim TheHunter: Call Of The Wild. You know, you can skip guns and just play that as a very pretty walking simulator.
