DBD x Tokyo Ghoul Ken Kaneki release time, date countdown for when Chapter 35 will come out

The Dead By Daylight April 2025 roadmap kicks off with the Tokyo Ghoul Chapter. This is introducing the final licensed rogue for Year 9 before we move onto the next licensed chapter, FNAF, for Year 10. The release date and time countdown for when DBD x Tokyo Ghoul Chapter 35 will come out is near, and it will introduce Ken kaneki as a killer.

Dead By Daylight x Tokyo Ghoul Chapter 35 release date

The release date for Dead By Daylight x Tokyo Ghoul Chapter 35 is April 2nd. This is confirmed by BeHaviour Interactive on X.

Again, this is the final licensed chapter for Year 9. It is only a paragraph, meaning we are only getting a killer from Tokyo Ghoul, and not a map or a survivor.

While the arrival of Ken Kaneki as a killer is exciting, don’t forget that shortly after, on April 4th, Hellraiser is leaving DBD permanently. This means you only have a few days remaining to buy Pinhead and all BDSM related cosmetics before they are gone.

When does Dead By Daylight x Tokyo Ghoul Chapter 35 come out?

The release time for when Dead By Daylight x Tokyo Ghoul Chapter 35 will come out is 9AM PT/12PM ET/5PM BST on April 2nd.

All of the above launch hours are confirmed by BeHaviour Interactive. The chapter is launching an hour later than usual as BeHaviour are conducting a livestream on YouTube at 8AM PT/11AM ET/4PM BST. Once the livestream is over, DBD players on all platforms will be able to step into the shoes of Ken Kaneki as a killer.

• Forever Entwined:
  • For each token, you pick up, drop and hook Survivors 4% faster.
• None Are Free:
  • When all generators are completed, for each token, all windows and upright pallets are blocked for everyone for 12/14/16 seconds.

DBD Ken Kaneki killer power

SPECIAL ABILITY: Kagune Leap

• Use the Power button to charge and launch the Kagune, tentacles that attach to any vertical surface within range and quickly pull The Ghoul forward.
• After completing a leap, The Ghoul has a window to perform a second consecutive Kagune Leap or put Kagune Leap into cooldown by using the active ability button.
• Kagune Leap enters cooldown once The Ghoul has consumed their leaps, if they leap over a vault or downed pallet, or if the Kagune grabs and leaps at a Survivor.
• If The Ghoul’s second consecutive leap targets a Survivor, they will perform a grab-attack. Grab-attacks damage Survivors if they are healthy; inflict Deep Wounds; and leave a Kagune Mark.
• Performing a grab-attack also triggers Enraged Mode.

SPECIAL ABILITY: Enraged Mode 

• While Enraged, The Ghoul can perform up to three consecutive Kagune Leaps and can leap over vaults more quickly if they launch their Kagune at a Survivor.
• Enraged Mode remains active while there are Survivors afflicted with Kagune Mark. Marked Survivors will lose their mark if they are fully Mended, or if they are downed.
• The Ghoul cannot grab-attack marked Survivors.
• Once no marked Survivors remain, a Countdown begins. When the Countdown depletes, Enraged Mode ends. A perfectly timed grab-attack will add extra time to the Countdown. The Countdown is paused while carrying Survivors.

All of the above perks come courtesy of the 8.6.0 PTB patch notes.
