The 2022 Halloween event plans for Dead by Daylight have been confirmed. Dead by Daylight has seen some of the most iconic faces of horror in film and gaming, such as Scream's Ghostface and Silent Hill's Pyramid Head, so it is only fitting that a new in-game event is going to be occurring for the majority of October, with all kinds of new cosmetics, new challenges, and a new Tome path of challenges and lore for players to overcome and discover.Featuring a steady stream of content since its initial release back in 2016, Dead by Daylight is still going strong. Back in August, Chapter 25 of the game was released, which was dubbed Project W in Dead by Daylight, and featured Albert Wesker (known as The Mastermind in the game) as a new killer, and it also saw the release of Resident Evil icons Ada Wong and Rebecca Chambers as playable survivors. While this new event isn't adding any new characters, it is adding a lot of cosmetics to bring some fresh life into the game, and the content will be released in four different parts throughout October.In a new video posted to Twitter by the official Dead by Daylight account, the entire event is detailed, from what can be earned just by playing the game, to what will cost money, to even when the game will be free-to-play. The event will begin on October 11 and feature new additions to the store in the form of the Tricks or Treats skin collection for various survivors, such as Dwight and Jane, as well as new skins to the Hallowed Blight collection for Dead by Daylight killers, with Wesker even getting a new purchasable skin. On October 12, Tome 13, called Malevolence, will be added to the game, which will have a free and paid track to earn various cosmetics for characters.
On October 13, the new in-game event begins, which will require players to complete objectives to acquire "void energy," which then must be deposited into the unstable rift and earn rewards. Finally, on October 27, Dead by Daylight will be free-to-play through Halloween weekend. A new study revealed that Dead by Daylight is one of the popular games to play at Halloween, so it's fitting that the game will be free for that weekend.
With a steady stream of content, even years after release, Dead by Daylight is a game worth coming back to every update.The developers have even provided an update on how cheaters are being dealt with in Dead by Daylight, so it's no surprise that the game remains one of the most popular horror games.
Dead by Daylight is available on Mobile, PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
