Summary
Dead by DaylightChapter 31 is now available on PC, consoles, and mobile devices. CalledAll Things Wicked, this update expandsDead by Daylightwith a new Survivor and map, as well as another terrifying Killer.
Behaviour Interactive’s asymmetric survival horror game originally debuted on PC in mid-2016 before making its way to consoles a year later. While it immediately established itself as a major hit, selling over a million copies in its first two months, themassively successful 2020 release ofDead by Daylight Mobileand collaborations with other horror franchises likeResident EvilandSilent Hillpropelled it to even greater heights. As of early 2024,Dead by Daylightboasts 60 million players across all platforms.
The fact that Behaviour Interactive has been churning out new content on a quarterly basis for seven years and counting certainly helped the game stay relevant. The latest such release rolled out on March 12 in the form ofDead of DaylightChapter 31,All Things Wicked. The new Survivor and Killer featured in this update are called Sable Ward and The Unknown, respectively. The latter is a horrifying monster described as an ancient evil whose true nature remains a mystery, hence the name. As if its design wasn’t scary enough, the game’s newest Killer also appears to have a propensity for mimicking human behavior in the most unsettlingly inaccurate ways.
Meanwhile, Sable Ward is a young woman who is missing from her hometown of Greenville Square in theDead by Daylightlore, having mysteriously disappeared from the local cinema in front of some shocked witnesses. Greenville Square also happens to be the new map introduced inAll Things Wicked. Comprised of a theater, arcade, and some auxiliary areas, it is here thatDead by Daylightplayers will try to survive encounters with The Unknown.
And if one piece of nightmare fuel isn’t enough, Chapter 31 promises a multiple thereof. Namely, The Unknown is able to shoot toxic projectiles that mess with the characters' perception of reality, causing them to hallucinate its clones. Although these so-called husks might be harmless, The Unknown can actually swap places with them, making each and every apparition something to steer clear of if at all possible. Making matters even worse is that this otherworldly creature becomes faster and grows more powerful as its toxin spreads.
All Things Wickedis the firstnewDead by DaylightChapter in 2024. Based on Behaviour Interactive’s track record, the next major content update for the hit asymmetric survival horror game is likely to debut in either late spring or early summer.
