Full Steam announcements and update articles for this title.
Greetings Fog Dwellers! Last week, we hosted our July Community Stream, where we dug into upcoming gameplay updates and shared more about the Grimoire (check out the stream recording here). Unfortunately, we ran into some audio issues during the gameplay updates segment, so we wanted to give you a recap of the topic you may have missed.
Say hello to the Gameplay Showcase menu!
Coming in our next update (10.1.0), the Gameplay Showcase offers in-depth details about how each of Dead by Daylight’s Killers work in-game, both from the Killer’s perspective and the Survivor’s. Think of it as a one-stop-shop for expanding your gameplay knowledge. This includes detailed descriptions of how each Killer’s Power works (including any relevant stat values and Status Effects), video of each part of the Power in action, and tips and tricks, all in one place.
Staying true to the goal of offering a learning tool for both Survivors and Killers, these tips offer bite-sized ways to make better use of your Killer Powers, while also pointing out counterplay opportunities to look out for. Whether you’re a new player learning the ins and outs or brushing up on your Killer knowledge, it can be daunting, so we’re making things easier with the Gameplay Showcase by showing and telling.
Once it releases, the Gameplay Showcase can be easily accessed from any lobby, even while matchmaking; simply click on the new button in the lobby or click on the Killer’s Power icon to check it out! Speaking of, pairing nicely with the Gameplay Showcase, we’re also updating Killer Power tooltips to make them more streamlined and easier to read.
We can’t wait for you to give the Gameplay Showcase a try as part of our upcoming PTB! Stay tuned for more details on the PTB!
Until next time…

Ten treasures have emerged from The Fog, waiting to be claimed. In celebration of Dead by Daylight’s milestone 10th Anniversary, we’re unveiling an exclusive limited-edition merch collection, featuring a picture disc box set and a cassette box set, a signed and numbered framed artwork, an exclusive Youtooz figurine, apparel, and more.
10 collectibles. One limited release. No restock. Get yours now
The 10th Anniversary Collection is available exclusively from June 12, 2026 to July 31, 2026 – only while supplies last.
In late May, we brought the much-anticipated Jason chapter to the Public Test Build (PTB). Since then, we’ve been keeping a close eye on what you, the community, have had to say about it. We’re glad to see people enjoying The Slasher as much as we enjoyed bringing him to the Fog, but we also want to address some pain points we’ve noticed.
In this post, we’d like to be transparent about what changes you can expect to see before the chapter goes to Live.
POWER
Pinned rescues are no longer considered healing actions
We noticed that there were some unintended synergies with perks and items that trigger from healing actions.
The Killer husk attack now activates with a slight delay and is no longer instant upon appearing.
Many of you were using the husk as a direct attack by spawning it on top of Survivors. While arguably funny, this was never an intended mechanic. The husk is meant to reinforce the idea that staying close to the Killer or approaching him carelessly is a bad idea and is not meant to be used aggressively.
Increased the slowdown effectiveness of the anti-camp system from X2 to X3 time in sec.
This change was made to further discourage camping when using the Killer’s power by increasing the penalty.
Increased the movement speed penalty when cancelling the charge Projectile action.
We felt like The Slasher’s zoning effectiveness was too strong; this change aims to make the charge cancellation feel like a more meaningful commitment.
ADDONS
Along with his power, we’ve also made a handful of changes to The Slasher’s Addons, as detailed below.
Toxic Waste - Range increased to 8m (was 6m)
Coroner's Coffee - Haste decreased to 8% (was 13%)
Bloody Magazine - Range decreased to 8m (was 13m)
Eye Goop - Undetectable duration increased to 13s (was 9s)
Iridescent Boat Motor - Window block duration increased to 13s (was 5s)
These are the Addons that we felt could use some number tweaks to get them into a more comfortable spot.
Deputy's Badge - Reworked: While in Omnipresent Evil, passing within 4m of a generator will cause it to explode, losing 5% progress and begin regressing. If any survivors are repairing the generator, it doesn't explode, but they get a special Skill Check.
While we felt the other Addons could be tuned with number changes, Deputy’s Badge needed a bit more work. The previous effect's information was too strong when combined with Omnipresent Evil's low cooldown and high mobility. The reworked effect grants the Killer efficiency when dealing with generators while not granting global knowledge on survivors' whereabouts.
PERK
Last but not least, you can expect to see one Perk change from PTB to Live.
Silent Shadow:
Changed the perk so that the 11/12/13s Undetectable occurs whenever you hook a Survivor, instead of at the start of the trial. When all Generators are completed, you gain Undetectable.
We determined that this perk gave Killers too much of a stealth identity at the beginning of a match. Instead, we wanted to make it repeatable for each hook and give a larger payoff in the End Game.
We want to thank everyone who took the time to write down their feedback after playing the PTB. You can expect to see all the adjustments mentioned in this post when the Jason Chapter releases on June 16th. As always, we’ll be keeping an eye out for your feedback once these changes go live.
Until next time…

All characters you have unlocked via Steam will be unlocked on the PTB, including any new character(s) introduced in this update.
If DLC content has been unlocked via a platform other than Steam (including the in-game Store), this will not be automatically unlocked in the PTB. This content can be unlocked with the provided Auric Cells.
When accessing a character's Bloodweb, the character will be automatically set to Level 50 and Prestige 3, unlocking their perks to Tier 3, as well as any items that would regularly be obtained during this process.
Known Issue: After accessing a character's Bloodweb, certain UI elements may incorrectly display a Prestige level other than Prestige 3. This is only a display bug, as characters will still function as though they are Prestige 3.
All offerings, items, and add-ons will be pre-loaded with 99 units available.

Hey there!
It’s been a while since our last update, so we figured it was time for another one. We've got a lot to cover this time, so buckle up!
Before we dive into what the team is working on, we want to share a quick development update. We’re a few weeks away from feature complete, a milestone where all core features must be implemented and testable by our QA team. As always, everything shown here is still in development, and can go through changes before release.
While this doesn’t mean everything is final or perfectly polished yet, it does mark a hard cutoff for adding new features or making major changes to the core experience. We had to remove some of the upcoming votes from our roadmap to stay on track as they would have put our production timeline at risk, but we will make sure to keep you updated on their status through our blogposts.
After the feedback we received from creators, consultants and you, we decided to slightly revisit some decisions, making a few adjustments to what we have shown you. The suggestions are still being explored, but some of these have already gotten positive reception internally. We covered these changes in our latest Q&A on Discord, and will showcase some of them on our next Community Livestream on May 7.
Here’s a sneak peek at one of the things we’ve been exploring:
Our Programming team has been focusing on the controls, movement, and VFX support for the Ray of Retribution.
They are also working on the Banishment ⮕ Exiled ⮕ Saved by a Survivor Praying at a Shrine loop. The Sin Killer Effect and the spawning Hazards in the Exile are also in progress.
In the meantime, the VFX team has been focusing on the Ray of Retribution & Survivor Sin. The team wanted to approach this in an optimal and aesthetic way, with performance in mind, to ensure it is optimized for gameplay, looks nice, and fits with the art direction proposed.
The team has started working on the effect for Active Sin on the Survivor!
This was quite interesting to do as we had a really inspiring concept from Art Direction with some cool movement references. This effect is mostly all procedural material with the addition of a sine calculation on the particle's rotation to create the chaotic movement. We are still very early on this, but we are off to a good start.
We will share more details during the Community Livestream on May 7.
After the last vote, we held our Art Direction kick off with other teams to show how the gameplay would look. Based on their notes, and timing, we're making adjustments to some gameplay concepts. In parallel, we continue to work on the 3D versions of the Killer and Survivor, and the recoloring for their outfits.
For the Hopeless Exile, after the theme was selected, the team created blockouts and made a first pass on lighting, syncing with the Technical Art team to implement new material to achieve the visual demands of our art director. This is a work in progress, and there's a lot that can still change, but we are excited to see how it will evolve.
Since the voting results, Design has been working on refining the propositions with our programmers. The next step is to add them to a prototype for testing and tweaks to ensure we’re working toward a fun gameplay experience. Below is our first pass. Please keep in mind that once we test it out, things will likely change, as they should. Our goal is to keep making them feel better and more balanced.
Killer Perks
Survivor Perks
On May 7, the Grimoire opens for one last time. On this final vote, you will decide on the theme music and the art direction for the chapter’s key art. If you don’t know, key art is the main visual image that represents the game’s world, tone and brand, serving as foundation for our marketing campaign and assets.
That’s it folks. The Grimoire might be closing soon, but our updates and behind-the-scenes will continue until release. Don’t miss our Community Livestream on Thursday May 7.

Following PTB, the following gameplay modifiers now apply diminishing returns only within their role:
Negative action speed modifiers
Positive skill check chance modifiers
Dev note: Thank you for your feedback during the 9.6.0 PTB period! Following reports, we have appended the diminishing returns system to exclude specific modifiers to maintain intended interactions. Notably, negative modifiers will now only apply within the same role. We discovered during PTB that negative modifiers from Killer and Survivor sources were reducing each other, causing self-inflicted penalties to be lessened and gameplay outcomes not working as intended.
On 9.6.0 PTB, for example, the self-inflicted 30% cleansing speed penalty from the Survivor Perk Calm Spirit was being reduced by 50% when calculated against the starting 60% cleansing speed penalty from the Killer Perk Hex: Thrill of the Hunt. Similarly, we found that positive modifiers for skill checks also needed this intervention. The Survivor Perk ONE-TWO-THREE-FOUR! was causing Killer Perks like Unnerving Presence to have their effects reduced, which caused skill checks less likely to appear than the intended total increase.
While this ultimately increases complexity, this change guarantees that Survivor and Killer modifiers from Loadouts always work as intended by Players selecting them.
The progress bar arrows no longer adjust their speed dynamically and instead have three static speeds, fast, normal, and slow
The selected Killer is now hidden at the start of a trial and is only displayed to all Survivors when one of the following occurs
Survivor enters a chase
Survivor loses a health state
When the selected Killer is visible to Survivors the characters name is now also displayed
The hidden loadout has been adjusted to not be confused with an empty loadout
Fast Track
Whenever you unhook another Survivor, you earn 1 Token, up to 1/2/3. (was "Whenever another Survivor is hooked, you earn 1/2/3 tokens, up to 9" on 9.5.2)
While repairing, whenever you hit a great basic Skill Check, spend all Tokens. For each Token spent, the Generator gains 5% permanent progress. (was 1% permanent progress on 9.6.0 PTB)
Dev note: We have heard concerns from the community at-large on Fast Track since its rework was introduced in the 9.5.0 PTB. After a period of observation and assessment, we understand the previous trigger condition was providing too great a source of permanent generator progress in Trials for simply choosing to equip a Perk.
With this update, the responsibility to earn Tokens will now be on the Survivor Player who has chosen to equip the Perk, incentivizing them to alternate between objectives like Hook rescues and Generator repairs.
Fixed an issue where the Anti-Camp Unhook mechanic was always enabled in Custom Matches.
Fixed an issue where skill check speed was unaffected by Diminishing Returns.
Fixed an issue where several Killer Objects and blocked generator auras appeared purple instead of default white.
Fixed an issue where The Nightmare's Dream Snare auras appeared purple regardless of the aura color setting.
Fixed an issue where The Nightmare's Dream Pallets did not have a Killer Object aura once placed.
Fixed an issue where The Nightmare's Rupture power did not highlight pallets with an aura.
Fixed an issue where The Demogorgon's active portal aura was always revealed to Survivors.
Fixed an issue where Survivors footsteps VFX were missing when The Xenomorph was above a control station.
Fixed an issue where the detailed pickup item prompt displayed the previous item icon in the empty pocket slot.
Fixed an issue where the music SFX is muffled after the generator is repaired in the Nightclub in the Trickster's Delusion map.
Fixed an issue where Survivors illusions were placeholder when using Mirrored Illusion.
Fixed an issue where the Survivor was unable to scream when Deathbound activated after healing another Survivor.
Fixed an issue where the external perk icon was missing when The Skull Merchant used the Geographical Readout add-on.
Fixed an issue where Red Herring is missing the cooldown state on the icon.
On Switch only, The Nightmare's Dream Snare attack can trigger distorted audio for nearby Survivors.
On Switch only, the majority of Killers and Survivors' hair are missing, transparent or flickering.
On Switch only, The Huntress' hunting hatchets are invisible in her left hand.
With tomorrow's release, we're updating Match Details to show more info!
Thanks to your PTB feedback, Survivors will see the Killer name and power only after one of these happens:
First chase begins
A Survivor loses a health state
Stay tuned for full patch notes tomorrow!
Greetings, Fog Dwellers, and welcome to another round of stats! This time, our stats focus on our recently updated knife-throwing K-Pop star, The Trickster! Without further ado, let’s take a look.
Trickster has been vibing with his brand new self, and it appears as though you have as well, as his usage rate has gone up since his update (Up from 1.6% between January 1st to March 16th 2026!). We know a lot of new folks have been giving him a spin and we’re always excited to see our players stepping out of their comfort zones to try new things. We will be monitoring his kill rate as players get more used to this new design. With the amount of knives being thrown, we’re surprised the Survivors aren’t all walking around looking like swiss cheese.
You’ve also all given MiNA a warm welcome to the fog, with 36.5% of Trickster matches bringing the iconic diva to the stage. (Or, uh, to murderous rampages, I guess.) She’d be thrilled to hear that, but we’re afraid it would get to her head.
We hope you’ve enjoyed this round of stats, and we look forward to seeing you at the next one.
Until next time…

Killer & Survivor Cosmetic Concepts
Chapter Key Art VOTE NOW!
As a result of engine updates, the download file size for this update will be larger than normal.
While in a Trial, repeated positive or negative gameplay modifiers and status effects are now affected by diminishing returns.
Identical modifiers granted by Powers, Items, Perks and Offerings will now be reduced progressively as they become stacked.
Modifiers granted from Killer Power and Survivor Item add-ons are excluded from diminishing returns.
The gameplay modifier with the highest absolute value is always applied, while lesser ones are progressively lowered to a percentage of their original value
The game prioritizes the highest values, reducing the impact of lesser ones.
1st value (highest) - 100% of modifier
2nd value - 50% of modifier
3rd value - 25% of modifier
4th value - 12.5% of modifier
5th value and up - 5% of modifier
Dev note: After 10 years of Dead by Daylight, the ability of Killers and Survivors to stack modifiers indefinitely has enabled ever-accelerating and more intense gameplay. With this update, we aim to normalize how modifiers from different sources interact against each other in order to better preserve the integrity of game. All major gameplay modifiers and status effects for both roles are included in this update.
Additionally, this change will help us as developers create new interesting Powers, Items and Perks with our roster of existing game modifiers, with far less risk of creating unintended game-breaking scenarios.
We will be closely monitoring this change during the PTB and look forward to the feedback!
