Dead By Daylight fans have been treated to an excellent year of licensed collaborations so far, and we are in for another treat with the imminent arrival of CastleVania. The Chapter 33 crossover comes with Dracula as a killer and Trevor Belmont as a survivor. Here is the release date and time countdown for when DBD x CastleVania chapter 33 will come out, along with the updated killer perks and changes to Dracula.
There is a lot to look forward to in the world of Dead By Daylight. Leaks have revealed details about a new female killer arriving in Chapter 34, meanwhile, fans have guessed the licensed killer arriving in March thanks to clues from a reputable leaker. While new killers will arrive in Chapter 34 and 35, well before then we have the release date for The Casting of Frank Stone arriving on September 3rd.
BeHaviour’s plans for Dead By Daylight are exciting, but all of the above comes after the release date and time countdown for Chapter 33. DBD x CastleVania is one of the best licensed crossovers yet, and fans should be excited to play as the nefarious Dracula.

In addition to the chapter’s launch, BeHaviour is releasing a Legendary skin for Trevor Belmont. This Legendary skin will transform Belmont into the beloved Alucard. Unfortunately, there is no Legendary skin announced or leaked for Dracula, but hopefully one day we will get something like Camillia.

Countdown
Below is a countdown to the chapter’s launch:
Dead By Daylight Dracula killer perks
Below are the updated and final killer perks for Dracula:
New Perk: Hex: Wretched Fate
- After one generator has been repaired, a random dull totem becomes a hex totem and curses the Obsession. The Obsession has a 27/30/33% repair speed penalty. They also see this Hex totem’s aura when within 12/12/12 meters. This effect persists until the Hex totem is cleansed.
New Perk: Human Greed
- You see Unopened Chests auras and Survivor auras are revealed for 3/3/3 seconds when they enter a 8/8/8 meter range. You also gain the ability to kick chests to close them. This ability has a 60/45/30 second cooldown. Survivors unlock these closed chests 50% faster.
New Perk: Dominance
- The first time each totem and each chest is interacted with by a Survivor, that totem or chest is blocked by The Entity for 4/6/8 seconds. The auras of blocked totems and chests are revealed to you in white.
Below is Dracula’s killer power:
- Vampire Form – In his default state, The Dark Lord can use the powerful Hellfire spell, which creates pillars of flame that travel ahead of him and can be cast across low obstacles.
- Wolf Form – In Wolf Form, The Dark Lord has access to several abilities that allow for more effective tracking. Movement speed is increased, blood pools and scratch marks are more apparent, and Survivors leave a trail of Scent Orbs behind them. The Dark Lord can collect these Scent Orbs to charge a powerful Pounce attack.
- Bat Form – While in Bat Form, The Dark Lord gains the Undetectable status effect. Additionally, he moves faster, ignores vault points, and can Teleport to any vault points within 32 meters. Survivors become invisible, but scratch marks can be seen.
Dracula changes
Below are changes made to Dracula in the 8.2.0 patch notes:
- [CHANGE] Increased movement speed after casting Hellfire to 2m/s (was 1.48m/s).
- [CHANGE] Decreased Hellfire charge time to 0.9 seconds (was 1 second).
- [CHANGE] Adjustments to various Add-Ons.
Dev note: The Hellfire attack proved to be useful on the PTB. We’ve fine-tuned the charge time and movement speed to improve the way it feels to use. This includes adjusting the deacceleration and reacceleration after canceling the attack to be smoother and not so sudden.
- [CHANGE] Increased movement speed in Wolf Form to 4.6m/s (was 4.4m/s). Haste from Scent Orbs will increase your speed to 4.8m/s.
- [CHANGE] Reduced cooldown of Pounce attack to 20 seconds (was 25 seconds).
- [CHANGE] Colliding with a wall or obstacle during the first Pounce will no longer end your Power.
Dev note: The Wolf form looked to need a bit more attention. For the release, we have increased the Wolf’s base movement speed to 4.6m/s – the same as the Vampire Form. We’ve also reduced the Pounce attack’s cooldown.
While the Pounce attack is meant to be more difficult to use in tight spaces, we found it to be a bit too restrictive. To make it easier to position for the second Pounce, hitting a collision during the first Pounce will no longer end your Power.
DBD Trevor Belmont survivor perks
Below are the survivor perks for Trevor Belmont:
New Perk: Eyes of Belmont
- When a generator is completed, the aura of the Killer is revealed to you for 1/2/3 seconds. Any time the Killer’s aura is shown for a period of time, its duration is increased by 2/2/2 seconds.
New Perk: Exultation
- Stunning the Killer with a pallet upgrades your held item rarity to the next tier, then recharges 25% of the item’s maximum charges. Rarity is not kept at the end of the trial.This perk has a 40/35/30-second cooldown.
New Perk: Moment of Glory
- This perk activates after you open or rummage through 2/2/2 chests. When you become injured, you become broken. Automatically heal 1 health state after 80/70/60 seconds. Then, this perk deactivates.
This effect is cancelled if you enter the dying state. This perk will not activate if you are already suffering from the Broken status effect.
