Behaviour Interactive announced that Tokyo Ghoul is the next Dead by Daylight crossover and confirmed that means Ken Kaneki will be a playable character. He’s available to test out later on March 11, 2025, if you get access to the Steam public test build. However, his official launch doesn’t come until April 2, 2025, when cosmetics based on other characters from the anime and manga series and masks will appear. 

There are very few details on how Ken Kaneki will function as the new killer called The Ghoul in Dead by Daylight, but we should know details soon considering he’s in the public test build later today. We do know he’s a “bad guy” here, rather than being a hero like he is in the original anime and manga. He will still use his Rinkaku Kagune tentacles to move and attack. Behaviour also mentioned an Enraged Mode, which almost sounds a bit like it resembles his Rinkaku Kakuja state. 

As for the other characters who will appear as part of the Dead by Daylight Tokyo Ghoul crossover, there’s a list of some of the cosmetics debuting when that launches in April 2025. Here’s what we’ll see:

• Awakened Ghoul Outfit for The Ghoul Ken Kaneki
• David King
• Eto Costume Outfit for Nea Karlsson
• Hide Costume Outfit for Renato Lyra
• Jake Park Mask
• Jonah Vasquez Mask
• Rabbit Costume Outfit for Yui Kimura
• Rize Kamishiro Outfit for The Ghoul Ken Kaneki
• The Unknown Mask

There’s no word about prices for anything yet.

One of the last crossovers in Dead by Daylight involved Castlevania. If someone picked up that $7.99 Chapter DLC after it debuted in August 2024, they got access to the Killer Dracula and Survivor Trevor Belmont. Since then, a Doomed Course add-on brought The Houndmaster Killer and Survivor Taurie Cain in November 2024. 

Dead by Daylight is available on the PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox Series X, and PC. The Tokyo Ghoul DLC debuts officially on April 2, 2025. The Tokyo Ghoul anime is streaming on Crunchyroll, while Viz Media handles the manga outside Japan.

Behaviour Interactive announced it is not only bringing back 2v8 to Dead by Daylight for a limited time, but that it also now features Resident Evil Killers The Nemesis and Albert “The Mastermind” Wesker. It will run between February 10-25, 2025. 

Bascially, this means that if you go through that mode, you can select Resident Evil content for it. You could select both Nemesis and Wesker as the two killers for the match, for example. Raccoon City Police Department will also now be a possible map that can come up during this mode. Matches with them will also feature items tied to the series. So Green and Yellow Herbs will spawn on the map to heal Survivor Health and Hook States. If you get to a Supply Crate, it could have an antidote capable of curing Nemesis’ T-Virus or Wesker’s Uroboros. 

Both Wesker and Nemesis appeared in Dead by Daylight as part of Resident Evil collabs before this 2v8 event. The Nemesis was the Killer in the Chapter 20 update that included survivors Jill Valentine and Leon S Kennedy. That launched in June 2021. Meanwhile, The Mastermind Killer showed up with Survivors Ada Wong and Rebecca Chambers in Chapter 25, which debuted in August 2022. There hasn't been any word on any new crossover DLC featuring characters, items, and maps from the series just yet. One of the last game crossovers involved Castlevania and appeared in August 2024.

Dead by Daylight is available on the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and PC, and the 2v8 Resident Evil event runs February 10-25, 2025.

You can take a look at what characters will appear as skins in the Junji Ito collection below:

A total of eight outfits for both Killer and Survivor will be available to purchase from the collection, with the cosmetics varying from Legendary to Very Rare. This includes the following:

Previous collaborations with Behaviour Interactive's 5-vs-1 asymmetrical horror game have included the likes of Silent Hill and Resident Evil. And more recently, Castlevania, which added Dracula and Trevor Belmont into the game.

Dead by Daylight is available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X. The Dead by Daylight Junji Ito collection, which includes the Tomie skin for The Spirit, is immediately available.

Halloween is one of the best times of year for in-game events in video games. This spooky time of year leads to some of the most creative and wonderful events and rewards. From minigames to special cosmetics to new quests and content, these are the best Halloween events happening in various games in 2024.

Best 2024 Halloween Events in Games: Fortnitemares 476p4m

The classic and wonderfully named Fortnitemares is back in Fortnite for another spooky season. Available until the end of the current Season 4, there are decorations all throughout the island and numerous quests to complete for rewards like Great Scarecrow Glider. In addition, there are excellent new skins like the Saw series crossover in Billy the Puppet, some Disney villains, Leatherface, and more.

Hello Kitty Island Adventure Spooky Celebration 445s17

Hello Kitty Island Adventure has one of the most adorable Halloween in-game events this year. There are plenty of decorations like ghosts, pumpkins, and more to customize the island with. In addition, there are cutesy outfits for your character to wear as you complete some fun quests.

Haunted by Daylight 3g17s

I always enjoy when a Halloween event goes beyond some decorations here and there, some skins, and some quests. Fortunately, Dead by Daylight does just that with the Haunted by Daylight event. This horror multiplayer game has a new mod that swaps out the one hunter versus four players for two hunters going up against eight players in ridiculous chaos.

Disney Dreamlight Valley Halloween Quests 5b4f48

New Halloween quests are available in Disney Dreamlight Valley for a limited time. These involve fun autumn activities like finding candy, planting pumpkins, and more. The quests reward players with some fantastic additions, too, like the Mickey Mouse-themed pumpkin.

Diablo IV Meat or Treat 6x3225

Diablo IV begins its own spooky event on October 29, 2024. Every day for four days in total, there will be a new item for players to get ranging from mount trophies to mount armor and more. There is also a new Meat or Treat event that will happen in dungeons where shrines will have new surprising effects to either trick or treat players.

When the Castlevania and Dead by Daylight crossover was announced, I wasn't all that excited. And I'm a pretty big Castlevania fan. I mean, I dressed in the stylings of a Castlevania character for an entire year, and even the middling Castlevania: Lords of Shadow series has grown on me after being starved of content for so long. Some of you are probably reading this thinking, "Kazuma! The Netflix series exists!" and I know that, and I don't like it.

So when Behaviour Interactive announced that it would be collaborating with Konami to bring Castlevania into the fold, I immediately assumed it would be versions of the characters that appeared in the popular Neftlix adaptation. Color me surprised when it was not. In fact, the version of Trevor and Dracula that appear in the crossover are actually two of my favorite designs. One could argue that Dracula has more or less looked the same across generations, with the version he appears as clearly being more akin to Symphony of the Night. But Trevor, oh Trevor Belmont, he's ripped right out of Castlevania: Curse of Darkness, and I love that.

While I might have lost some of you at Lords of Shadow, Curse of Darkness is actually my favorite Castlevania game. I love it for a lot of reasons; for Hector and Isaac, and the weird Digimon-esque Devilforging system. I just think it's a lot of fun, and I love the character designs and the sort of theatricality of it all. It's Castlevania through and through, even if you're not immediately playing a Belmont.

Castlevania: Curse of Darkness was a maligned entry in the series. Almost all Castlevania fans just wanted that classic 2D platforming experience, and while Konami was desperately trying to make 3D stick for the series, it just wasn't taking. But it had all of the flavors, all of the visuals, and was a deeply satisfying game. At least to me. I'm just one of those weirdos that actually likes a lot of the less loved entries in the series, but I've always loved Curse of Darkness. This is probably why I don't care for the Netflix series, even if it has arguably done a lot more for Castlevania than Curse of Darkness has.

That's why I was totally surprised it was Curse of Darkness Trevor that made it into Dead by Daylight. Not that I'm complaining. I'm absolutely going to slap down the dollars to purchase this Chapter, even if I don't play Dead by Daylight all that much anymore. (I'm extremely casual, and have only popped in for the Silent Hill and Resident Evil Chapters.)

So I just wanna thank whoever at Behaviour Interactive and Konami came to the decision to incorporate one of the less-liked Castlevania entries into Dead by Daylight. Because Dead by Daylight is a behemoth of a game and seeing one of my favorites designs from the Castlevania games over something that's just generally popular, is awesome.

Dead by Daylight is available for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X. The Castlevania crossover Chapter will come to Dead by Daylight on August 27, 2024.

Behaviour Interactive has revealed what Killer and Survivor will appear in its Castlevania crossover for Dead by Daylight. Dracula, the main antagonist of the series, will appear as the Killer, with Trevor Belmont appearing as the Survivor. Consumers that own Dead by Daylight on PC through Steam will be able to access the PTB today (August 6, 2024) to test out the iconic vampire lord and vampire killer. Trevor Belmont and Dracula will appear in Dead by Daylight on August 27, 2024 outside of the PTB.

You can watch the trailer for the Dead by Daylight Castlevania crossover below.

Dracula will be Behaviour Interactive's first "transforming" Killer. Dracula will be able to take the form of a vampire, as a given, and as a wolf and bat. Each transformation will have their own unique benefits, which will players will need to play around to emerge victorious and leave no Survivor left alive.

Trevor's skillset as a Survivor will tap into the legacy of being a Belmont, which means his skills as a vampire slayer will be appearing in some shape or form.

The Dead by Daylight Castlevania crossover was announced in May 2024 with a short teaser trailer. It showed Dracula with the titular castle behind him.

Dead by Daylight is available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X. The Dead by Daylight Castlevania crossover content where Dracula will appear as the Killer and Trevor Belmont as the Survivor, will release on August 27, 2024.

Behaviour Interactive announced that characters from Five Nights at Freddy’s will Dead by Daylight for a crossover in Summer 2025. The reveal appeared on social media with logos from both titles.

The announcement didn’t include any details about the potential crossover characters from Five Nights at Freddy’s heading to Dead by Daylight. However, these sorts of events often involve a number of elements from the source material. For example, when the Silent Hill Chapter appeared, it added the Midwich Elementary School map, The Executioner Killer based on Pyramid Head, and the Cheryl Mason survivor based on the Silent Hill 3 heroine. 

Here’s the official reveal:

2025 will be a big year for Five Nights at Freddy’s. Blumhouse confirmed that the second movie based on the series will also appear that year. It announced that sequel will arrive in Fall 2025 on social media.

As for Dead by Daylight itself, we already have a roap for some elements of the game for 2024. Behaviour confirmed it will make QOL changes at Midwich Elementary School and adjust The Doctor, The Dredge, and The Nemesis Killers in August 2024. In September and October 2024, people will see The Hillbilly, The Skull Merchant, The Twins, and The Unknown adjustments.

Dead by Daylight is out now for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, PC, and mobile devices, and Five Nights at Freddy’s will be added to the game in Summer 2025.

Behaviour Interactive updated Dead by Daylight, so people who pay $4.99 get the Lara Croft Tomb Raider Chapter DLC and those who don’t get an array of adjustments for The Knight, The Singularity, and The Good Guy Killers. There’s also a new trailer highlighting exactly how Lara looks in-game, so people can see the new Survivor in action.

First, here’s the Tomb Raider Chapter DLC trailer showing Lara Croft in Dead by Daylight. Since this is just a teaser, it is only cinematic. It doesn’t show her new Finesse, Hardened, or Specialist perks in action. It also doesn’t show the Climbing Axe Charm, which people also get for buying the add-on.

In addition to bringing Lara Croft and Tomb Raider to Dead by Daylight, Behaviour Interactive also made a number of other changes in the 8.1.0 patch. The Good Guy, The Knight, and The Singularity Killers all ended up adjusted. The Good Guy changes all apply to Hidey-Ho Mode cooldowns.

Lara Croft from Tomb Raider is being added to Dead by Daylight, as revealed by Behaviour Interactive. She will be releasing on July 16, 2024, although a test build is available now through Steam.

The star of the Tomb Raider franchise, Lara Croft is the latest survivor being added to Dead by Daylight. Putting emphasis on the survivor label, her appearance is based on the 2013 reboot game, although without any of her weapons. It is unknown if skins based on earlier games will be added.

Lara’s perks have also been revealed. Finesse will allow vaults to be 20% faster while healthy. Hardened reveals the killer’s aura any time you would normally scream, after opening a chest or cleansing a totem. Finally, Specialist grants tokens that improve skill checks for generators. All these perks are named after elements of Lara’s skill tree in recent games. Hardened and Specialist are named after the skill tiers in the 2013 reboot while Finesse shares its name with a skill from Rise of the Tomb Raider.

Lara Croft is one of many video game crossovers that have appeared in Dead by Daylight, although this is the first to not be based on a horror franchise. In addition to previous franchises such as Resident Evil, Silent Hill and Alan Wake, Behaviour Interactive have announced that Castlevania will also be added at a later date.

Dead by Daylight is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S and Switch. Lara Croft will be added to the game on July 16, 2024.

Behaviour Interactive, developer of Dead by Daylight, announced a Castlevania crossover for the asymmetrical horror title. More information will appear on August 6, 2024. However, a short trailer has accompanied this announcement, which teases the addition of Dracula as a possible addition to the roster of Killers.

You can watch the Dead by Daylight Castlevania crossover announcement trailer below.

The trailer shows the iconic titular castle in the background as a vampire stalks towards the camera before bursting into a swarm of bats. Outside of this footage, nothing has been revealed as to who the potential Survivors could be.

This is not the first time a Konami IP has appeared in Dead by Daylight. Previously, Cheryl (Heather) Mason and Pyramid Head of the Silent Hill series ed the roster as a Survivor and Killer, respectively. Since then, various Silent Hill characters such as Maria, James Sunderland, and Cybil Bennett have appeared as skins.

Dead by Daylight is an asymmetrical horror title that pits four Survivors against one Killer. Players must cooperate and repair generators to open exit gates to escape hazardous stages before the Killer eliminates them. Crossover stages include the Raccoon City Police Department, from the Resident Evil 2 remake, and Midwich Elementary School from Silent Hill.

Dead by Daylight is available for PC, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox Series X. An Android and iOS version is also available. More information about the Castlevania crossover will appear on August 6, 2024.

Behaviour Interactive showed off the new Slipknot cosmetics that’ll be available in Dead by Daylight. In total, you’ll be able to wear masks for eight different characters.

Here is the trailer for the Dead by Daylight and Slipknot collaboration:

As for the characters who’ll be able to look like the heavy metal performers, it’ll be: The Wraith, The Deathslinger, The Doctor, The Clown, The Hillbilly, The Blight, The Trapper, and The Legion. The Legion will be able to wear an entire Outfit. You can check out the official Dead by Daylight website if you want to know which killers wear which Slipknot mask. For example, The Wraith’s mask draws inspiration from guitarist Mick Thomson, while The Clown’s uses percussionist Shawn Crahan’s.

Dead by Daylight is an asymmetric multiplayer survival horror game in which four players are Survivors and one player is a Killer. The Killer’s job is, as you may expect, to kill all of the Survivors on the map. Meanwhile, the Survivors’ goal is to finish fixing five generators and escape from the gate. As for Slipknot, it is an American heavy metal band that debuted in 1995. Most Dead by Daylight collaborations are with games or shows in a similar genre. For example, you could play on maps or wear costumes based on characters from Silent Hill, Attack on Titan, and Resident Evil.

The Slipknot Collection is readily available in the Dead by Daylight store. You can play Dead by Daylight on the PS4, PS5, Xbox Series X, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, Windows PC, and mobile devices.

Behaviour Interactive released a new trailer showcasing Alan Wake in Dead by Daylight. This is a more informative video going over his perks and how they affect gameplay.

After introducing Alan Wake, the video focuses on how each perk works. It starts with Champion of Light at the 54 second mark. His speed increases when he uses the flashlight to blind a killer. Boon: Illumination comes up at the 1:06 mark and shows how he can make a totem that helps him see where chests and generators are on the map. Finally, his Deadline perk appears at the 1:32 point. When he heals or repairs, Skill Checks come up more often so he can accomplish tasks faster.

Here’s the full Alan Wake spotlight trailer.

We’ve seen a number of other notable characters from other franchises the Dead by Daylight cast over the last few months. For example, Nicolas Cage appeared as a Survivor starting in July 2023. He was followed by Ellen Ripley and the Xenomorph from Aliens in August 2023. After that, Chucky showed up as a killer in November 2023. 

Dead by Daylight is available on the PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PC, and mobile devices, and Alan Wake s the game on January 30, 2024.

For many game enthusiasts, the Halloween holiday has taken on a new meaning in their adult years. Instead of going door-to-door to trick-or-treat, it's now the perfect time to snuggle up under a blanket to play their favorite horror-themed video games. From Resident Evil to Dead by Daylight, the gaming industry now has decades of creepy titles that keep players up at night. Here are our favorite horror games that we like to play during Halloween.

I wouldn't say it is every Halloween, but I'm far more likely to play a Fatal Frame game this time of year. Especially during daylight hours, when I'm trying to the time and want to do something vaguely spooky.

But when it comes to what I'll play later in the evening, odds are it's a mobile game. While I'm waiting for trick-or-treaters, I'll often fire up something fast like Fire Emblem Heroes or Dissidia Final Fantasy Opera Omnia to tie up some loose ends between doling out treats. -- Jenni

While a cliche answer, I find myself always going back to Resident Evil 4. I mean, it's a classic for a reason, right? While not the most terrifying game ever made, its creepy rural village setting always sets the mood perfectly for the Halloween season. With the incredible Resident Evil 4 Remake releasing in 2023, the classic game has also never looked or played better. I just wish Capcom would also consider re-making the Parasite Eve games because those would definitely be my Halloween picks if they existed.

Finally, I wanted to give a shout out to the recently released Alan Wake 2. The long-awaited sequel from Remedy Games is already gearing up to be a modern-day classic. It's also surprisingly terrifying and packed with some seriously chilling scenes that are nightmare-fuel. I recommend the mind-bending game to anyone who is a fan of Inception, Twin Peaks, or the first season of HBO's True Detective -- Brent

It’s not a horror game, but I’ll play the first Kingdom Hearts game so I can play through Halloween Town from Nightmare Before Christmas. I love the ghost Heartless designs and having Jack Skellington in my party. Is it spooky? No. Is it Halloween to me? Yes. -- Arielle

I don’t think I’ve ever made the conscious decision to play a spooky game around Halloween, but I know that this year I will be replaying Signalis. Not only because the developers recently announced the release of their promised inventory update on PC but because Signalis is a captivating and haunting tale of love, isolation, and broken promises that I have been meaning to revisit since I first played it when it was released a year ago. -- Daniel

The horror game I often go back to at this time of year is Dead by Daylight. I’m a scaredy cat so being able to run from iconic horror villains like Michael Myers alongside other players helps the atmosphere. In addition, while it isn’t fully Halloween-themed, I started a new tradition last year with Dragon Ball: The Breakers, which has its tense and scary moments and (in my opinion) has the best Dead by Daylight-style gameplay. I’ve been playing a round or two of that several nights a week in October. -- Cody

I have to echo Jenni's choice here, mainly because Fatal Frame is my favorite horror series, so I'll usually replay something in the series around this time. Beyond that, I've also played the Little Nightmares games around this time of year. They're full of creepy imagery and atmosphere, of course, with a stop-motion feel to them, which adds to the uncanny nature of the series. But each game is also a nice short experience that's easy to work through in a single dark October evening. -- Leigh

Another Attack on Titan collaboration is coming to Dead by Daylight Mobile, this time featuring alternate Mikasa and Levi skins for Yui and Jake, as well as an Attack Titan skin for the Trapper. The event runs until November 9, 2023.

The new Titan outfit for the Trapper comes in 3 tiers, each representing its appearance in different periods of the story. Meanwhile, Yui Kimura's new skin is based on Mikasa's outfit while equipped with thunder spears, while Jake Park's Levi skin has him wearing his headscarf and his sleeves rolled up. As well as these new additions, several past Attack on Titan collaboration skins will also be available to purchase, with charms awarded for buying up to 3 outfits.

Several charms and general cosmetics will be available to earn for free by playing during the event. A new accessory system for Dead by Daylight Mobile will also be introduced, with the first accessory being a backpack based on the Pure Titan.
