Dead by Daylight Teams Up with Tokyo Ghoul for Crossover Event

Dead by Daylight is embarking on an exciting new journey, this time venturing into the eerie universe of Tokyo Ghoul. Fans of this acclaimed anime series have something thrilling to look forward to as the gaming world welcomes Ken Kaneki, known as The Ghoul, into its chilling roster of Killers. Currently, players can delve into this latest crossover through Dead by Daylight’s Steam public test build, with a full-fledged launch set for April 2.

Known for its dynamic crossovers, Dead by Daylight continues to draw from an eclectic mix of horror inspirations. From gaming legends like Resident Evil and Silent Hill to gripping narratives found in Stranger Things, not to mention iconic horror films such as A Nightmare on Elm Street and Hellraiser, the game offers a diverse horror tapestry. Now, it’s anime fans’ turn to be in the spotlight with a crossover drawing on the intense and dark world of Tokyo Ghoul.

Adding to the excitement, Behaviour Interactive has confirmed suspicions about Kaneki’s entry into the game. The Ghoul, as he’s known, comes equipped with formidable abilities, including his signature “Kagune Leap.” This skill not only enhances his mobility across the game’s map but also allows him to latch onto surfaces and propel himself forward with breathtaking speed. Catching a survivor could spell disaster for them, as The Ghoul can grab and deliver Deep Wounds.

As of now, eager fans can dive into the action on Steam’s public test server, while everyone else marks their calendars for the grand arrival on April 2. Alongside Ken Kaneki, players can spruce up with new outfits and masks reminiscent of those from the anime. Noteworthy additions include the Rize Kamishiro Outfit and various Very Rare Outfits, like the Rabbit Costume for Yui Kimura and the Awakened Ghoul Outfit, accompanied by masks for several other characters.

The developers have also teased some compelling new features during the public test build. A standout is the option to surrender gracefully during challenging moments, allowing players to salvage some in-game credits like Bloodpoints and experience. This update doesn’t just stop at new content—it also brings much-needed bug fixes targeting audio issues, bot behavior, and character quirks. Fans of both the game and the anime have plenty of reasons to be excited about this new chapter in Dead by Daylight’s storied history.
