Dead by Daylight 6th Anniversary Event

Dead by Daylight’s 6th Anniversary Event is here, featuring a new offering, event-themed hooks and generators, and lavish cosmetic rewards to earn for Killers and Survivors. Seek your invitation and experience a celebration for the ages – provided you live to remember it.

[h3]A REALM OF SPLENDOR[/h3]

From June 16th 11AM ET - 30th 11AM ET, the Entity’s realms will undergo a luxurious transformation. Sights you’ve come to recognize – generators, hooks, lockers, and more – have all been decorated for this gleefully twisted occasion. The Bloodweb will also be filled with several limited-time event items, including Masquerade Flashlights, Toolboxes, Medkits, and the return of the Anniversary Bloodpoint offering.




[h3]SEEK YOUR INVITATION [/h3]

For the duration of the Twisted Masquerade, Invitations will be placed throughout every trial. Housed atop an ornate pillar of black and gold, these Invitations will move around the map, triggering a sound cue after relocation. Upon finding one, both Killers and Survivors can claim their Invitations to earn up to 12 exclusive mask cosmetics.

To successfully receive the reward, Killer players must finish a match after interacting with an Invitation. Survivor players must survive until an escape option becomes available, meaning the Exit Gates or the Hatch must open. Be careful, however – if you are left on a hook or killed the moment the Exit Gates or Hatch open, you’ll have to try again next trial.


[h3]LAVISH MASK COSMETICS[/h3]

This is a masquerade and make no mistake – it's a twisted one. With such a deadly dress code in place, it’s only fitting that successfully claiming Invitations will earn you up to 12 collectible masks for 6 Killers and 6 Survivors.

Seeing as it’s been 6 years together in The Fog, we’ve been feeling a little nostalgic. When choosing the recipients of these masks, we made sure to highlight two characters from each year of Dead by Daylight. Step into The Fog, seek out your Invitation, and unlock them all. Please note that these mask cosmetics unlock in a random order, regardless of which role you play.

KILLERS
  • The Trapper
  • The Huntress
  • The Spirit
  • The Deathslinger
  • The Trickster
  • The Artist
SURVIVORS
  • Dwight Fairfield
  • Ace Visconti
  • Jane Romero
  • Yui Kimura
  • Elodie Rakoto
  • Mikaela Reid





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

While the DEVOTION Tome remains ongoing, The Twisted Masquerade also introduces a separate Event Tome complete with two levels of brand-new Challenges to overcome. As for the central characters, this Tome is all about our Guests of Honor: The Dredge and Haddie Kaur.

Complete event-inspired challenges in this Tome to unlock exclusive – and downright luxurious – Anniversary outfits for Dead by Daylight’s newest Killer and Survivor:

  • The Dredge – Masquerade Colors
  • Haddie Kaur – Masquerade Outfit





By progressing through the Event Tome, players can also unlock three brand new 6th Anniversary Charms: Rancid Cupcake, Pop-Up Card, and Celebratory Skull. One of the nice things about charms is how they’re something of a time capsule. A way to tell your fellow players “I was there.” Commemorate your attendance to the Twisted Masquerade with these charms by completing Event Tome challenges. Speaking of which...

Each Event Tome level features a Community Challenge track, where players around the world must unite to accomplish a common goal. You’ll notice a pair of bars present in each challenge – these are the personal and global progression bars, with the latter being a culmination of the community’s combined efforts. Contribute by filling your personal contribution bar, as you won’t be able to progress to the next challenge until you do – even if the global progression bar is full.





[h3]DAILY LOGIN REWARDS[/h3]

It’s a time for celebration, and we want to pay it forward – after all, we wouldn’t be here without you. For the duration of the Twisted Masquerade, we’re offering daily login rewards of in-game currency. Each gift period begins at 11 AM ET and ends 24 hours later.

Dead By Daylight to get more LGBTQ+ representation beyond David King

If you're hooked on Dead By Daylight, you'll be pleased to know that Behaviour Interactive has just revealed its plans for the start of the next year of content for the asymmetrical horror game - including a look at the terrifying new Dead By Daylight killer. However, one of the most important comments on upcoming content was made during a press conference ahead of the Dead By Daylight 6th Anniversary stream. Speaking to the media, creative director David Richard confirmed that David King is only the start of Behaviour Interactive's increasing LGBTQ+ representation in Dead By Daylight.


When asked a question on whether Behaviour Interactive was satisfied with the reaction to David King's narrative development in Tome 11, which focuses on the character coming to accept his own homosexuality, and whether fans can look forward to seeing more LGBTQ+ characters in-game, Richard responded with the following:


" Absolutely. I am super pleased - and I know a lot of people on the team are as well - about the reaction of our community to David King. We've seen David King utilised even more than before, and he was already a very popular character."
