Next DBD update - Dead by Daylight Alien release time

When is the next Dead by Daylight update? Seven years into the life of the popular asymmetrical horror game, many of our horror favorites have been engulfed by the fog, from Michael Myers and Ghostface, to Silent Hill's Cheryl Mason and even Nic Cage. So who's next to walk into DBD's realms?


With around four new chapters a year, it's a wonder the team at Behaviour are able to come up with new perks and powers for the new DBD killers and survivors. Somehow they do, and the 2023 Dead by Daylight roadmap confirms a total of nine new characters for year eight, including the original killer The Singularity, and shock survivor Nic Cage. Once you've taken a look at what to expect from the next DBD update release date, make sure you've redeemed the latest codes for Bloodpoints and cosmetics.

Dead by Daylight just changed disconnects so you can't watch bots

The Dead by Daylight Alien update introduces a new killer in the form of the Xenomorph, new survivor in Ellen Ripley, and even a new map, the Nostromo. But the multiplayer horror game from BHVR is also undergoing some changes with regard to disconnects, meaning that players will no longer be able to leave games in order to spectate on DBD bots if they choose to bow out mid-play. It comes as part of the new Dead by Daylight patch, which introduces a variety of changes to both the overall experience and the bots themselves.

Play as the Xenomorph or Ellen Ripley in Dead by Daylight's Alien public test build

It's the collaboration you've been waiting for, and starting today, you can download the Dead by Daylight Public Test Build and experience the Alien universe.

In the new chapter, the Xenomorph becomes the latest Killer to join the Fog alongside Ellen Ripley, the newest Survivor. Set against the backdrop of the Nostromo Wreckage, you will travel into the depths of space and try your best to catch your prey or try to survive.

As the Killer, the Xenomorph is very stealthy, quick, and powerful, and it can strike Survivors with a razor-sharp tail. Its power, called Runner Mode, allows the Killer to walk on four legs and become stealthier, reducing its Terror Radius considerably.
