• August 26, 2026 – The Casting of Frank Stone becomes a full chapter

  • Art the Clown arrives as a killer, with expectations of a very brutal kit.
  • The presenter expresses hopes for an especially gruesome Mori.

    • Cheryl (Silent Hill) receiving a skin transforming her into Silent Hill F. Shimizu Hanako
    • The Spirit receiving an alternative skin as a Silent Hill nurse
    • Rick Grimes / Glenn / Negan receiving alternative skins
    • The Huntress receiving an alternative style tied to Iron Maiden

• Lilith (Diablo) – skin for The Artist

  • Lilith, “mother of hatred,” is added as a skin for The Artist, framed as a major Diablo fan crossover.

  • Described as inspired by liminal spaces, with direct tie-in to Dwight’s backstory.

2027 and beyond: Graphics overhaul, modes, and modding tools

• Major visual/technical upgrade planned for 2027+

  • Model/texture/lighting/environment overhaul.
  • Dynamic weather systems (wind, hail, snow, rain, thunder, lightning) that affect both survivor and killer gameplay via vision/hearing disruption.
  • Improved facial detail and emotions, with hooked survivors’ anguish/pain expected to be more expressive.

• Year 11 / “next decade” direction

  • Continued focus on original chapters with new killers and survivors.
  • Mentions a player-influenced lore system, referencing earlier community voting (example given: “Grim War”) as the model for what comes next.

• Aurora (survivor) + “the Judgement” (killer)

  • Presented as major upcoming additions:
    • Aurora as an “elder female” representation
    • A divine-themed killer called the Judgement
  • The presenter again expects/mentions a PTB.

• Experimental new mode (similar structure to 2v8)

  • A 1v1 zombie mode where players are dropped into a map with zombies.
  • Players create a vaccine, then stab zombies in the back to heal them from the zombie virus.

• Sandbox modding support

  • Custom map creation is implied via modding tools, emphasizing community-made experiences (compared to Fortnite’s creator ecosystem).

• Official Dead by Daylight movie (Blumhouse)

  • Announced as being in development with Blumhouse; James Wan and Jason Blum are involved.
