Get ready, Fog-dwellers! This Halloween is bringing absolute hell! Coming right off a massive 10th Anniversary both in and out of the game, Dead by Daylight is pulling out all the stops for a monster-sized October, packed with weekly drops. From the terrifying debut of the Diablo Collection and a grotesque Blighted look for Jason Voorhees, to a special Stranger Things edition of Lights Out. So much is headed your way, including the triumphant return of Haunted by Daylight. Players have an incredible lineup to keep them screaming all month long!

Hell Sends Its Best With the Diablo Collection

Mark your calendars for October 20th! The Diablo Collection is officially bringing Sanctuary’s legends into Dead by Daylight with six breathtaking new Outfits inspired by iconic characters and classes.

Leading the charge is Lilith, the Daughter of Hatred herself. She arrives as a Visceral Outfit for The Artist, complete with unique menu animations and a vicious new Mori! Joining her is Belial, the Lord of Lies. It transforms The Dredge into a multi-faced nightmare of deception, while Mephisto brings his imposing presence to The Nurse. Even better? All three Killer Cosmetics feature authentic voice performances from original Diablo voice actors Caroline Faber, Ray Porter, and Steve Blum!

Survivors aren’taren’tin the dark either. Players can gear up with class-inspired outfits featuring Zarina Kassir as the Sorceress, David King as the battle-ready Barbarian, and Taurie Cain channeling dark forces as the Necromancer.

Jason Voorhees Gets Blighted

The stomach-churning Hallowed Blight Collection returns on October 1st, splashing mutations, pustules, and glowing orange serum across three new Killers!

After shattering records when he first stepped into The Fog earlier this year, horror icon Jason Voorhees is receiving his very first taste of Blight. It twists the hockey-masked slasher into an even more grotesque powerhouse. He’s aHe’s in the horror, as The Houndmaster and The Knight also receive unsettling Blighted makeovers!

Plunge Into Darkness: Lights Out Meets Stranger Things

Just in time for Stranger Things Day on November 5th, the fan-favorite Lights Out Modifier returns to strip away every ounce of comfort in The Fog! This plunge into near-total darkness features special Stranger Things-themed rewards to earn during the event. The Stranger Things Collection expands with highly requested new additions. That includes series finale Final Battle Outfits for Nancy Wheeler and Steve Harrington. There’s a Season 4 throwback Outfit for Vecna!

Haunted by Daylight Returns With an All-New Twist

The definitive Dead by Daylight Halloween event is back! Running for three action-packed weeks starting October 13th, Haunted by Daylight bathes The Entity’s in a classic, ominous orange haze filled with festive pumpkins and spooky Rift visuals.

The update also adds a game-changing gameplay twist. The Void Realm itself is closed; however, Void Rifts now convert into portals! Players can step through these portals to instantly teleport across the map. This creates huge opportunities for sudden ambushes and miraculous escapes. Plus, players can earn a treasure trove of Halloween cosmetics, including Tricks and Treats Outfits for Shane Wiigwaas and The Hillbilly. There are also stylish Survivor Shirts and chilling new masks for The Singularity, The Unknown, and The Trapper!
