Dead by Daylight Halloween Event, “Haunted by Daylight,” Launches October 18: Roadmap Detailed

The spookiest 4v1 horror game is about to get spookier. The 2023 Dead by Daylight Halloween event has just been teased by developer Behaviour Interactive. Titled “Haunted by Daylight,” the update will arrive to the game in just a few short weeks.

We’ve got a teaser for the update here:

Right off the bat, the ethereal blue setting of this event sets a pretty different tone from much of Dead by Daylight’s maps. The space looks much more isolated and, well, haunting. The teaser is brief, but it’s already got us excited.

We’ve even received a brief description of what the event will include:

Dare to enter the Void that is Dead by Daylight where your favorite horror characters coexist, ruled by a dark force in never-ending Trials. The Fog thickens this year as Haunted by Daylight, the unmissable in-game Halloween event returns, bigger than it’s ever been.

Players should get amped up on their jump scares thanks to Void Zones, new, terrifying gates to a mysterious Realm where the Entity’s victims – or Haunts – are dismissed and await to be released. The stakes will be even higher as players will find themselves face to face with these Haunts for the first time…

Additionally, Behaviour shared a roadmap of upcoming content for the month of October.
