Dead By Daylight is on the brink of beginning its annual Halloween event. This is a yearly celebration of All Hallow’s Eve that brings with it some new skins to the store along with some limited-time rewards to unlock. Here you will find the DBD Haunted By Daylight 2024 release date and start time countdown along with the rewards to unlock, new Halloween skins, and more.

This is part of the October 2024 roadmap, and the event will launch in-conjunction with the celebration of DBD Day. Once the Halloween festivity over, fans can look forward to the return of 2v8 mode in November, along with the Chapter 34 PTB if you play on PC through Steam.

BeHaviour’s yearly Halloween event gets better with every iteration, and the same is true for this year. The Dead By Daylight Haunted By Daylight 2024 release date and start time countdown is nearly over, and there will be plenty for players to unlock.

Countdown

Below is a countdown to when the event will start:

New The Void items

In addition to The Void changes mentioned before, this year is also introducing new items to The Void well. This will allow players to spend Void energy for items and abilities.

Starting with survivors, they can get a smoke bomb Void crystal. You will be able to throw the Void crystal on the ground to create smoke and help you disappear.

As for killers, the Void Well gifts a projectile ability called Captured Haunt. Upon activating this Haunt, it will cause any nearby survivors to scream and thus reveal their location.

Halloween rewards and skins

The Dead By Daylight Haunted By Daylight 2024 rewards include a unique skin for Yun Jin and The Trickster. In addition, players will be able to unlock six new skeleton shirts for survivors along with six new candy weapons for killers.
