Boil Over

It’s time to celebrate the year of the Tiger with Dead by Daylight’s latest event: Lurking Stripes. In celebration of the Lunar New Year, we’re bringing exciting offerings, unlockable cosmetics and charms, limited-time gameplay items, and daily login rewards to enjoy.

Lurking Stripes begins on January 25th, 2 PM EST and run until February 8th, 2 PM EST.




Though nothing beats a bit of good-old-fashioned horror atmosphere, sometimes a little festivity can go a long way. For the duration of the Lurking Stripes event, generators and hooks will be adorned with Lunar-themed decorations befitting of the tiger’s imposing – and regal – stature.






For the duration of Lurking Stripes, you’ll find new limited-time Survivor items in the Bloodweb: The Lunar Firecracker and the Lunar Toolbox. There’s also a mysterious new Offering, the Red Envelope, usable by both Killers and Survivor.



Players might have noticed that our events bring a new gameplay experience into the fold. In the case of Lurking Stripes, the main objective centres around the Red Envelope, an offering available in the Bloodweb for a limited time.

HOW TO USE:
- Upon burning a Red Envelope Offering, a Red Envelope viewable to all players will spawn in the Trial. For players who burn Red Envelopes, the aura of their respective Envelopes will be visible to them.

- The owner can interact with Envelope it to reveal it. Upon doing so, a sound effect will be heard throughout the trial and the Envelope’s aura will be revealed to all players.

- An Envelope can be opened and claimed by another player. When claimed, both that player and the Envelope’s owner receive a surprise Bloodpoint reward, with the owner also receiving a Lunar Event cosmetic.
Be sure to bring plenty of Red Envelopes to increase your chances of unlocking two charms and all eight cosmetic rewards.



As fellow gamers, we know and love the thrill of unlockable gear. The Lurking Stripes Event has you covered, with earnable cosmetic rewards for David King, Jane Romero, Kate Denson, The Trapper, The Clown, The Nurse, and The Artist. All you must do is participate in the Red Envelope gameplay detailed above, and soon enough your wardrobe will be brimming with splendid attire.







Each year brings new possibilities, with milestones met and memories made. To commemorate the upcoming Lunar New Year and all it holds in store, we’re offering two brand new charms highlighting the tiger. Wear them with pride – they look equally majestic on your belt and your hook.





To help you stock up on Lunar items and Offerings, we’ve made the process a little bit easier by gifting 50k daily Bloodpoints for the duration of the event.



The Lurking Stripes Collection introduces a new outfit for Yui Kimura, a Survivor known for her courage and unbreakable spirit. Behold her new Lunar Race Championship outfit, the perfect blend of intimidation and elegance. Be sure to check out the tiger-inspired ensemble over at Dead by Daylight’s in-game store.

A key piece of horror history is joining Dead by Daylight’s expansive roster. Prepare for Ringu to spread its curse across The Fog, with a new Chapter inspired by Kōji Suzuki’s novel and the original acclaimed film adaptation.



Kōji Suzuki’s Ring, originally published in 1991, began the haunting story of a spreading curse and its doomed victims. In 1998, the novel was adapted into a Japanese feature film of the same name (widely known as Ringu to North American audiences) instantly adding a new presence into the pantheon of cinematic horror icons.

The premise alone is chilling. A video that, upon viewing, promises death in seven days. A disturbing fate, worsened by the contorted faces of the victims. The global influence of this Japanese franchise remains undeniable, and we’re thrilled to celebrate its induction into the horror Hall of Fame that is Dead by Daylight.

“We are very excited for the collaboration with Behaviour Interactive and the Dead by Daylight team,” says Kadokawa producer Reiko Imayasu. “We’ll be sending one of our most haunting characters to the Fog to pour down horrors that will rival all the great predecessors. Fans should beware of their heart; this deadly newcomer will definitely strike them, and they will tremble with fear whilst they wait.”

Ringu introduced images that have long haunted horror fans, fuelling the nightmares of audiences across the world. Many can surely recall those nights reading the novel or watching its adaptation, where a ringing telephone was swiftly followed by a wave of icy terror.

And if the television happened to flicker...

Suffice it to say, stepping into the eerie and melancholic world of Ringu opens the door for countless exciting possibilities. Alas, you'll have to wait a little longer than seven days for more info on Dead by Daylight's upcoming chapter – but don’t let that stop your imagination from running wild. “Well, the only thing I can say is that this new chapter will leave a mark,” teases Creative Director Dave Richard. “A real heart-pounding experience. Tell a friend, or else...”

It goes without saying that survival won’t be easy, so be sure to hone those skills throughout the Holiday season. In the meantime, keep one eye out for Dead by Daylight’s foray into the rich world of Ringu, emerging from the well in March 2022...

The Dead by Daylight team.

Break out the Ugly Sweaters and let the Wailing Bell ring. Dead by Daylight welcomes winter with the Bone Chill event, featuring an exciting new Snowman gameplay mechanic, unlockable holiday cosmetics and charms, daily in-game currency login, new Instagram filters, and plenty of festive atmosphere to enjoy.




From December 9th 11AM ET - 23rd 11AM ET, Holiday-themed hooks, lockers, generators, and barrels will add a touch of cheer to the Realm. The Winter Party Starter item -- ideal for leaving Killers snow-blind -- will be lining the Bloodweb throughout Bone Chill.









Bone Chill will introduce six Snowmen into every trial.

These Snowmen will supply Survivors shelter in a time of need, perhaps even allowing for a desperate escape through the Exit Gates. Successfully escaping while inside of a Snowman will earn you a holiday reward.

Of course, should a Killer happen to destroy a Snowman while a Survivor is inside...well, there’s only so much protection snow can offer.

No matter the outcome, performing unique interactions with Snowmen as either Killer or Survivor will earn you exclusive cosmetic rewards.





Participating in the Bone Chill event will unlock reward cosmetics from the Ugly Sweater Collection, with sweaters for Yun-Jin Lee, Mikaela Reid, and newcomer Jonah Vasquez.






Slide some deadly toys under the tree with the Bone Chill Event Collection, featuring rare – and deadly -- holiday unlocks for The Wraith and The Hag.





Give Survivors the gift of a glacial glare with new Frosty Eyes cosmetics for The Trickster and The Artist.





Three winter-themed Charms are also yours to be unlocked: Cocoa Drip, Christmas Inferno, and Gift Hatch – a present that’s as rewarding to give as it is to receive.




Every day from December 1st 2021 until January 6th 2022, you will be provided with a form of in-game currency upon logging into Dead by Daylight. Each gift period begins at 11 AM ET and ends 24 hours later.

The daily login rewards include various forms of in-game currency, including Bloodpoints, Iridescent Shards, and Rift Fragments. For more information, check out our complete schedules of holiday giveaways.

With plenty of winter excitement and holiday horror to experience, it’s the perfect time to bundle up for some festive fun in The Fog. And if you happen to come across a Snowman, don’t forget to say hello.

Happy Holidays!

The Dead by Daylight team.

Behold the Portrait of a Murder. The Dead by Daylight Chapter includes a new Killer – The Artist – and a new Survivor, Jonah Vasquez. The new Forsaken Boneyard Realm will be opened for all players. Purchasing this add-on also unlocks an exclusive cosmetic for Jonah: The Crimson Shirt.



The new Killer is The Artist.
Carmina Mora’s surrealist paintings were both compelling and controversial. After a brutal encounter left her maimed, The Artist was taken by The Entity. Twisted into a grotesque vessel of vengeance, she turned anyone in her path into carrion for the flock.

The new Survivor is Jonah Vasquez.
Deciphering math equations and the secrets within was second nature for the seasoned codebreaker. Now, he sees the ominous truth at every turn. A formula pointing to a haunting reality beyond comprehension. But as Vasquez knows better than most, there’s strength in numbers.

The Portrait of a Murder Chapter includes:

• A new Killer: The Artist
  
• A new Survivor: Jonah Vasquez
  
• An exclusive item for Jonah: Crimson Shirt

Available to all players is also the new Chapter map: Eyrie of Crows. The chance of being sent to the Eyrie of Crows map will be increased for the first week of its release.



Time stands still in the Forsaken Boneyard Realm – but you’d be wise to keep moving. The Portrait of a Murder Chapter is available now.

See you in the Fog,

The Dead by Daylight team.
