Dead By Daylight devs confirm imminent release date for mysterious new survivor

Dead By Daylight has just received a new killer in Ken Kaneki as part of Chapter 35 Tokyo Ghoul. The new killer has already become a massive fan-favorite within the DBD community, but another new character is already on the horizon. BeHaviour has confirmed the release date for when Dead By Daylight fans will be able to play as the new survivor, and right now details are slim.

Dead By Daylight new survivor release date

BeHaviour Interactive has confirmed that the public test build for Dead By Daylight Chapter 35.5 is April 15th. This is the earliest DBD fans will be able to play as the new survivor.

As per usual, the demo will only be playable for fans who own the game on Steam. Sadly, we don’t know any official details about the new survivor right now other than they are being introduced on their own, and they are an original character rather than licensed.

Once the public test build is over, players will have to wait until May 6th for the new survivor to arrive on all platforms. We then only have a few weeks until the PTB for FNAF, with the full release scheduled for June.

With the PTB included, below is everything DBD fans have to enjoy for April:

• Blood Moon event w/daily login rewards – April 7th to 29th
• Blood Moon Collection – April 7th
• HorrorCon Scotland – April 12th
• Chapter 35.5 PTB – April 15th
• Techwear Collection – April 22nd
• Chaos Shuffle – April 29th to May 6th

Unfortunately, while Tokyo Ghoul is great, and the new survivor is exciting, Hellraiser has now left DBD. If you didn’t purchase the chapter before April 4th, you now are unable to buy the BDSM torturer, Pinhead.
