Get ready for spooky season, Dead by Daylight players, as this year’s Halloween event is just around the corner. Next week marks the return of Haunted by Daylight, which will bring with it new mysterious realms, new unlockable in-game content, and new ways to die. Get ready to enter the Void Zones! What is all of this going to look like? Let’s take a look at the new trailer.
This all has a very unique, supernatural look to it. And check out that pumpkin-headed killer! The Haunted by Daylight event introduces Void Zones to the game. So, what are Void Zones? They’re pockets of a mysterious Realm where former Survivors and Killers, now called Haunts, are discarded by The Entity. Players must deposit the Void Energy they collect into Unstable Rifts to open portals to the Void. Once inside, their goal will be to release Haunts into the Map where they’ll provide unique advantages throughout the Trial.
The event kicks off on October 18. Behaviour Interactive previously released a brief teaser and a roadmap. We’ll soon have a much better idea of what’s in store. Players who would like to get all of the juicy details can to tune in to Dead by Daylight’s official Youtube and Twitch channels for a Haunted by Daylight livestream beginning at 2 p.m. (EDT) today, which just so happens to be Friday the 13th. The team will do a deep dive on all the new Haunted by Daylight gameplay mechanics, seasonal cosmetics and other updates, as well as a developer Q&A. Behaviour Interactive also promises “a few surprises” along the way.
The Void will also bring with it a new collection of items to the game. It features very rare outfits for David King, Yun-Jin Lee and Haddie Kaur. These Void outfits present the Survivors with glowing blue eyes, with the edges of their clothing seeming to fade into oblivion as ice-like spikes protrude from their shoulders and sleeves. The window is limited though as the collection is only available until November 6 when the event ends.
The Hallowed Blight Collection is also adding some new looks beginning Oct. 24 with very rare outfits for The Onryo and Yoichi Asakawa, and an ultra rare outfit for The Xenomorph from Alien. The one glimpsed in the trailer is pretty damn wild. The Onryo’s Hallowed Blight outfit features her hair and clothing covered in eerie Blight Serum pustules while Yoichi’s Hallowed Blight Outfit features a chic deep-blue jacket, burgundy undershirt, and beige trousers stained with Blight Serum. As for the Xenomorph, its torso is covered with volcanic-looking, bulbous glowing growths.
Haunted by Dalight kicks off on October 18. Those interested in checking out the livestream can do so via the official Dead by Daylight YouTube channel, or the game’s Twitch channel.
