Dead by Daylight is a multiplayer (4vs1) horror game where one player takes on the role of the savage Killer, and the other four players play as Survivors, trying to escape the Killer and avoid being caught, tortured and killed.

Survivors play in third-person and have the advantage of better situational awareness. The Killer plays in first-person and is more focused on their prey.

The Survivors' goal in each encounter is to escape the Killing Ground without getting caught by the Killer - something that sounds easier than it is, especially when the environment changes every time you play.

The game features procedurally generated levels, so players never experience a repetitive map. Be the killer and massacre all your victims before they escape, by using your speed and power in 1st person, or team up with your friends to try and outwit the killer with your superior awareness and agility in a 3rd person's view as he hunts you through a nightmare world.

Players take on the role of both killer and survivors in a deadly game of cat and mouse. It’s a Mature Gamer take on the thrills of Hide & Seek!

Angel to some, demon to others, Pinhead will be entering the Dead by Daylight universe to bring pleasure and pain to the fans who have been summoning him for a very long time. One of the most dazzling and enigmatic characters of the horror universe, the perturbing personage made famous by the Hellraiser franchise will arrive in the Fog in September.

“Hellraiser’s Pinhead is one of the most stunning and memorable characters among all the iconic killers of the horror genre”, says Dave Richard, Creative Director of Dead by Daylight. “Not only is he highly charismatic, but he also embraces deeply disturbing horror themes, so our fans have been requesting him for a long time. Bringing Pinhead into the Fog is a way for us to give fans something they want, while cementing our reputation as the Hall of Fame of Horror.”

The Box. We Opened it. And He’s Coming. 

Pinhead is an explorer in the further regions of experience, indulging in the limitless thrill of pleasure and pain. When the puzzle box known as the Lament Configuration—a key to another dimension—is found in The Entity’s realm, it’s only a matter of time before it falls into curious hands. Once opened, he arrives. What comes next is sweet suffering that will spill over the realm. 

The Hellraiser Chapter of Dead by Daylight will be available in September via Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Stadia, PC (Steam/Windows Store), Xbox One as well as Xbox Series X|S.

Pinhead will also be coming to Dead by Daylight Mobile before the end of the year. 

Behaviour has implemented Cross-Play across PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch, allowing players on console and PC to face trials together, while Cross-Friends will let you create a friends list that is cross-platform and enjoy an unprecedented multiplayer experience in their favorite multiplayer horror game.  

Dead by Daylight is currently available on Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
