In Tome VIII: DELIVERANCE climb inside The Clown’s twisted mind as a chemical mishap turns a standard kill into a cartoon-fueled hallucination. Watch Jake Park grapple with his own mortality as the hunter becomes the hunted. And join the Observer on his quest for answers as he peels back terrifying new layers of the omniverse.



Stories are everything. We use them to understand our relationships… our sense of self… our reality. They bring us joy, insight and inspiration. They teach us, build us, and empower us. Stories are the elixir of the soul… but they can also be a poison. Defeating us, destroying us, corrupting us, keeping us in an endless loop of pain and suffering.
Sometimes the only way to escape is to find another story… the right story...

Unlockable character Memories include:

• Jeffrey Hawk (The Clown) – FINGER OF CHAOS
  
• Jake Park – EXILE OF THE KINGDOM
  
• The Observer – MIDNIGHT IN THE GARDEN OF ETERNITY

In the DELIVERANCE Rift, players can earn over 60 time-limited rewards through the Free and Premium Tracks including new complete outfits for The Clown and Jake Park.



This Rift also introduces a brand-new challenge for Survivors: Yellow Glyphs. Survivors can seek these out during trials to trigger a series of skill checks designed to test even the sharpest reflexes. Pass them to complete the challenge. Fail, and the Glyph teleports away and must be found again.

Tome VIII: DELIVERANCE is available now through The Archives.

See you in the Fog,

The Dead by Daylight team.

The Trickster Gameplay Update

Power:

• Maximum Laceration is now 6 (was 8).
  
• Faster Laceration decay (full meter depletes in 15 seconds, 20 seconds if running)
  
• Shorter delay before Laceration starts to decay (now 10 seconds, was 20 seconds)
  
• Laceration removed upon successful basic attack now 3 (was 4)
  
• Main Event starts throwing knives 1 second sooner
  
• 30 knife hits required to activate Main Event (was 20)
  
• 30 second window to activate Main Event (was 10)
  
• New knife hit indicators have been added to show when knives connect with Survivors.

Addons:

• Melodious Murder: Moderately decreases knives' reload time at lockers.
  
• Fizz-Spin Soda: Smaller effect (starts at 2 knives thrown instead of 3; balanced with smaller maximum Laceration)
  
• Iridescent Photocard: When a Survivor’s Laceration Meter is two or less Blade hits away from the maximum, they are inflicted with the Exposed status effect.
  
• Death Throes Compilation: When Main Event ends, The Trickster's knives are replenished.
  
• Lucky Blade: Hitting a survivor with a Blade during Main Event slightly extends its duration. (0.2s)
  
• Waiting for You Watch: Hitting a survivor with a Blade during Main Event moderately extends its duration. (0.3s)

• Now starts with 44 knives (was 60)
  
• Maximum knife rate of fire bonus after throwing 8 knives is 25% (was 33%)
  
• Trick Pouch: Adds 4 knives to inventory (was 10)
  
• Bloody Boa: Adds 8 knives to inventory (was 15)
  
• Knife hit indicators reduced in size.

Perks:

• No Way Out: After hooking a Survivor for the first time, No Way Out gains a token. Once the exit gates have been powered, No Way Out activates.
  
• When a Survivor interacts with an exit gate switch, you receive a loud noise notification. The Entity then blocks both exit gate switches for 12 seconds, plus an additional 6/9/12 seconds for each token in your possession.
  
• Hex: Crowd Control: Effect now lasts 14/17/20 seconds (was 10/12/14 seconds)

• The unhooking interaction now has higher priority than the Self-Care interaction. If injured, the prompt for unhooking will no longer be replaced with a prompt to self heal.
  
• When a Killer attempts to grab a Survivor, but the request is refused by the server (usually because the Survivor has stopped performing the interaction) the Killer will now automatically transition into an attack instead. In addition, achievement and challenge progress will be granted at the beginning of the grab attempt, regardless of whether or not the attempt is successful.
  
• Stun validation has been added to the hit validator. If a Killer has a pending stun on the server, the server will reject the hit. This will be most noticeably in situations such as a Killer who is attacking at the same time a survivor is throwing a pallet, and it should reduce instances where survivors appear to take damage after stunning a Killer.
  
• Effects that improve a Killer's hearing, such as the perk "Stridor" or the add-on "Swing Chains," will only be heard from the Killer's perspective. Survivors will no longer hear themselves as louder when the Killer is running such effects.
  
• Effects that modify sound are now multiplicative rather than additive. This means that sounds that are reduced to 0%, such as injured noises by the perk "Iron Will," will no longer be increased by perks such as "Stridor" and will instead remain at 0.

• Added new tutorials for both Survivor and Killer.
  
• Menus now have tooltips. This can be turned off in the settings.

• Updated the original outfits of Dwight, Meg, Jake and Claudette.

Dead by Daylight is celebrating its fifth birthday and the party just wouldn’t be the same without you.

Check out our 5th Anniversary Event trailer below, then read on for details on everything you can expect when you log in to celebrate with us from June 30th to July 22nd.




Anniversary Crowns are back in Dead by Daylight, and they’re better than ever. Our new, more intricate crowns can be claimed by any original Killer or Survivor – but you’ve got to find them first.

Special Crown Pedestals will spawn inside of every trial. Discover and interact with them to gain a golden glow which will stay with you for the rest of the match. Go on to escape the trial as a Survivor, or simply complete the trial as a Killer and this celebratory cosmetic is your keep.






Dead by Daylight is all about community, and once again we’re giving our fans the chance to team up to earn exclusive outfits.

During our 5th Anniversary event, Anniversary Crowns will be tracked at a community level with multiple shared goals. Collectively meet these goals to unlock exclusive charms and cosmetics, including outfits for David King and The Wraith. All details, updates, and codes will be shared through our social channels so follow Dead by Daylight and never miss a beat!

Instagram: https://instagram.com/deadbydaylight     







It wouldn’t be a Dead by Daylight anniversary if we didn’t deck out the Entity’s Realm to mark the occasion.

From custom loading screens to the return of confetti-launching Flashlights, Med Kits, and Toolboxes, to environmental flourishes for generators, hooks, lockers, and barrels; playing during the event will feel anything but ordinary.






Our 5th anniversary is also the perfect opportunity to not only get your hands on some Perks, but to get a great deal in the process.

Until July 13th, the Shrine of Secrets will be on a daily rotation and feature Perks from almost every single character in Dead by Daylight. Plus, every Perk will be 500 shards off! Got a lot of Iridescent Shards burning a hole in your pocket? Take advantage while you can!



As a thank-you for celebrating with us by playing Dead by Daylight, over the first 7 days of the event we’ll be giving away a total of 9,000 Iridescent Shards per player just for logging in. Players logging in before July 15th will still be able to claim earlier login rewards, so no one misses out. These will add up to enough to purchase an entire original character, on us.

Finally, when you first log in during the event before July 15th, you’ll receive a 500,000 Bloodpoint gift, so you’ll be able to quickly gain access to the new event items in your Bloodwebs.



Thanks for an incredible five years of kills and thrills. Here’s to many more.

-The Dead by Daylight Team

This update contains a few changes that should improve performance for many players. That said, some performance issues still remain. The team is still actively working on more fixes across multiple platforms, including consoles. We will be monitoring the changes made within this bugfix patch for stability.

We're hoping this update will also help performance on the Raccoon City Police Station map, but we want to ensure it is stable enough to be reinstated for live games. We will be monitoring how the map is doing in custom games with these new changes and provide you all with an update soon.

Thank you for your patience as we continue to work on further improvements to the game’s performance!



We have reduced the overall visual quality on Switch to help improve performance. The game may still crash when played on the Raccoon City Police Station map, but less frequently. Rest assured, we are still working on ensuring that the new map does not crash on this platform.
