Dead by Daylight News

A new Dead by Daylight leak seemingly reveals the new killer coming in the horror game's Chapter 24 this month, which was supposed to be unveiled as part of the 6th-anniversary celebrations. If the leak is correct, the killer is an eyeless creature out of a Bloodborne or Amnesia nightmare called The Dredge.

A leak on Reddit seems to have revealed the new Dead by Daylight The Dredge killer prior to its official showing on May 17 for the multiplayer game's sixth anniversary. The leaked pictures - which also show the rather intense new survivor Haddie Kaur too - purport to show the disgusting long-mouthed monster The Dredge as it appears in-game. If real, it's certainly the most inhuman killer in Dead by Daylight this side of the Stranger Things Demogorgon, although it has a similar vertical mouth to The Blight.

The leak also reveals all of The Dredge's new abilities too and it seems its main power is darkness. Its special ability Nightfall builds the more actions The Dredge takes, like injuring or hooking a survivor, and when its meter is filled the map is flooded in "total darkness" and its abilities become enhanced.

Dead by Daylight has been adding more and more new content lately, with Sadako from Ringu being the latest killer to drop, but the game is set to diversify its cast even further by adding a new LGBTQIA2+ character.

According to a press release from Behaviour Interactive, "Many fans longed for more representation within the game and expressed the need to identify with their favourite characters and they will be thrilled to dig through the 11th Tome of the game's Archives: DEVOTION."

The new content will be focused around the memories of The Twins and Survivor David King as he struggles to come to terms with his homosexuality. "Since his introduction in Dead by Daylight, Survivor David King quickly became a fan-favourite," the press release says. "While a fragment of his pre-Fog life was previously revealed, there remained much to uncover. Throughout DEVOTION, fans will discover, that part of his personal struggles revolve around accepting his own identity and sexuality. David's memories will take players in a pub, where a conversation about romantic relationships leads him to speak more about his personal life, including a past boyfriend."
