Dead by Daylight’s 6th Anniversary Event is here, featuring a new offering, event-themed hooks and generators, and lavish cosmetic rewards to earn for Killers and Survivors. Seek your invitation and experience a celebration for the ages – provided you live to remember it.
From June 16th 11AM ET - 30th 11AM ET, the Entity’s realms will undergo a luxurious transformation. Sights you’ve come to recognize – generators, hooks, lockers, and more – have all been decorated for this gleefully twisted occasion. The Bloodweb will also be filled with several limited-time event items, including Masquerade Flashlights, Toolboxes, Medkits, and the return of the Anniversary Bloodpoint offering.
SEEK YOUR INVITATION
For the duration of the Twisted Masquerade, Invitations will be placed throughout every trial. Housed atop an ornate pillar of black and gold, these Invitations will move around the map, triggering a sound cue after relocation. Upon finding one, both Killers and Survivors can claim their Invitations to earn up to 12 exclusive mask cosmetics.
To successfully receive the reward, Killer players must finish a match after interacting with an Invitation. Survivor players must survive until an escape option becomes available, meaning the Exit Gates or the Hatch must open. Be careful, however – if you are left on a hook or killed the moment the Exit Gates or Hatch open, you’ll have to try again next trial.
LAVISH MASK COSMETICS
This is a masquerade and make no mistake – it's a twisted one. With such a deadly dress code in place, it’s only fitting that successfully claiming Invitations will earn you up to 12 collectible masks for 6 Killers and 6 Survivors.
Seeing as it’s been 6 years together in The Fog, we’ve been feeling a little nostalgic. When choosing the recipients of these masks, we made sure to highlight two characters from each year of Dead by Daylight. Step into The Fog, seek out your Invitation, and unlock them all. Please note that these mask cosmetics unlock in a random order, regardless of which role you play.

The Huntress
The Spirit

EVENT TOME & COMMUNITY CHALLENGES
While the DEVOTION Tome remains ongoing, The Twisted Masquerade also introduces a separate Event Tome complete with two levels of brand-new Challenges to overcome. As for the central characters, this Tome is all about our Guests of Honor: The Dredge and Haddie Kaur.
Complete event-inspired challenges in this Tome to unlock exclusive – and downright luxurious – Anniversary outfits for Dead by Daylight’s newest Killer and Survivor:
The Dredge – Masquerade Colors
Haddie Kaur – Masquerade Outfit
By progressing through the Event Tome, players can also unlock three brand new 6th Anniversary Charms: Rancid Cupcake, Pop-Up Card, and Celebratory Skull. One of the nice things about charms is how they’re something of a time capsule. A way to tell your fellow players “I was there.” Commemorate your attendance to the Twisted Masquerade with these charms by completing Event Tome challenges. Speaking of which...
Each Event Tome level features a Community Challenge track, where players around the world must unite to accomplish a common goal. You’ll notice a pair of bars present in each challenge – these are the personal and global progression bars, with the latter being a culmination of the community’s combined efforts. Contribute by filling your personal contribution bar, as you won’t be able to progress to the next challenge until you do – even if the global progression bar is full.
