Dead By Daylight invites the bogeyman to its sixth birthday party

Dead By Daylight devs Behaviour Interactive have confirmed that there will be a new killer, survivor and map coming with the launch of the game’s next chapter, ‘Roots Of Dread’, on June 7th. 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. See it in action in the trailer below.

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.

Dead By Daylight Chapter 24 release date, Roots of Dread, and more

Dead By Daylight is getting a lot of new content over the next year, which will be the asymmetrical multiplayer game's seventh, and Behaviour Interactive has revealed that fans have Chapter 24 to look forward to first - it's going to be titled Roots of Dread. This next chapter is going to introduce a new Survivor, a new Killer, and a brand new Realm. If you're wondering when the Dead By Daylight Chapter 24 release date is, we have everything you need to know.

Haddie Kaur, the Roots of Dread Survivor, might be a name you recognise. They've popped up in Dead By Daylight's Archive content before, but now they're going to be front-and-centre in Chapter 24. With the supernatural ability to see tears in the fabric of our universe, and into the realm of the Entity, their unique perks are going to make them an interesting addition to the roster alongside The Dredge. This Killer is literally the stuff of nightmares and one of the most visually interesting additions to date. The Dead By Daylight Chapter 24 release date, and the Roots of Dread content, can't come soon enough.

Thankfully, we know exactly when this new content is going to be released and available. So, keep reading and we'll run through everything you need to know.
