Unveiled as part of today's sixth anniversary stream, the developers say they were inspired by the infamous urban legend of the bogeyman to create new killer 'The Dredge', which is an amorphous blob creature with a gaping maw and limbs at odd angles.

Dead By Daylight Chapter 24's killer "straight out of a nightmare"

The next Dead By Daylight update has been confirmed as Chapter 24, titled Roots of Dread, and Behaviour Interactive has revealed that The Dredge is the new killer fans will be able to get their hands on when the content is released. Even from a glance, it's clear that this killer is one of the most visually striking additions to Dead By Daylight yet - and one of the most terrifying. In a press conference, creative director David Richard shared an insight into what inspired the Dead By Daylight Chapter 24 killer and why this monstrous figure is, quite literally, the stuff of nightmares.

Discussing the origin of The Dredge, Richard explains that this killer is the "physical representation of the suppressed darkness of [a] whole town." In this town, which is partially represented by the new map coming to Dead By Daylight in Chapter 24, Garden of Joy, "all the residents hide terrible secrets [and] dark thoughts". When this all bubbles to the surface, it creates The Dredge - a killer Richard describes as "nightmare fuel".

The Dead By Daylight team's goal, according to Richard, was to create "a monster that felt extremely inhuman, chaotic, [and] weird... Something straight out of a nightmare." Looking at The Dredge, it's safe to say that the team achieved their goal - this thing is terrifying.
