Dead By Daylight is set for a stacked February 2025. According to leaks, there is the return of 2v8, we know there will be the Chapter 35 PTB, and right now fans can redeem codes for over 600,000 Bloodpoints and more rewards. In addition, there will be new skins, and we know of a skin that will be arriving later in the year now that DBD devs have confirmed it is not cancelled.

Dead By Daylight devs confirm skin is not cancelled

BeHaviour has recently released the Lunar New Year skin collection for 2025. This has added a new Dead By Daylight skin for The Skull Merchant that looks really impressive.

However, as revealed by leaker Dvveet (via Paulie Esther), there was a Lunar New Year skin planned for Haddie Kaur, too. Screenshots of DBD in other languages show a Haddie Kaur skin was set to be released, but alas it didn’t, resulting in speculation that the cosmetic was scrapped.

Fortunately, BeHaviour Interactive has just confirmed that the skin is not cancelled, and that it will arrive at a later date.

In response to the mention of a Haddie Kaur Lunar New Year cosmetic appearing in other regions, BeHaviour Interactive said on X, “We’re aware that in some regional areas a Cosmetic for Haddie Kaur was advertised as being part of a current Collection. We made the decision to postpone this Cosmetic until later in the year so that we can guarantee its quality”.

BeHaviour elaborated, “We’re happy to see everyone’s joy over this Cosmetic, and are looking forward to sharing it with you!”.

The Skull Merchant Lunar New Year skin looks wicked, so hopefully there will be the same quality for Haddie Kaur. We don’t know exactly when the Haddie Kaur skin will arrive, but at least we know it’s coming instead of being scrapped.
