Upcoming Dead By Daylight event hints at iconic anime killer for Chapter 35

A lot of Dead By Daylight players are looking ahead to Chapter 35. The PTB should’ve already come out on February 18th, but BeHaviour announced it had been delayed so they can focus on developing some big updates. While we have to wait awhile longer for the paragraph killer to be revealed, an upcoming DBD event further hints at the Chapter 35 killer belonging to an iconic anime.

Dead By Daylight Japan event possibly hints at anime killer

As per Dvveet on X, BeHaviour Interactive is conducting a Dead By Daylight event in Tokyo, Japan, on March 12^th. Tickets for this event will go on sale on February 25^th.

No other details are provided about the DBD event. However, it could be seen as another hint that the leaks are accurate about the Chapter 35 killer being Ken Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul.

There are newly discovered Easter Eggs in Dead By Daylight that possibly allude to Ken Kaneki, and this event is just another cherry on top of the icing leaks. The event is taking place in Tokyo, which is obviously relevant to an anime called Tokyo Ghoul, and the event is happening on March 12^th, which correlates with the date of the PTB happening on March 11^th thanks to time differences.

This doesn’t confirm that the Chapter 35 killer is Ken Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul, but this is what leaks have suggested, with his powers allegedly involving tentacles. While the prospect of Tokyo Ghoul seems high, there is the chance it could be a killer from an entirely different Japanese IP.

Originally, there was speculation that it could be Kayako from The Grudge, especially with DBD already having Sadako from Ringu. However, leaks have only pointed to Ken from Tokyo Ghoul, so that is the safest bet right now aside from the killer just belonging to a Japanese IP.
