Dead by Daylight Reveals Tokyo Ghoul DLC

by

A fresh Killer character has been unveiled for the game “Dead by Daylight“. The new addition is known as The Ghoul, inspired by the popular anime and manga series “Tokyo Ghoul”. This revelation took many “Dead by Daylight” enthusiasts by surprise, whether they are fans of “Tokyo Ghoul” or not. Nonetheless, it appears that this collaboration fits well within the game’s horror genre, demonstrating Behaviour Interactive’s knack for incorporating diverse horror sources to enrich their Killers. Preliminary art for The Ghoul in “Dead by Daylight” closely follows Ken Kaneki’s anime design, featuring his distinctive white hair and single ominous red eye.

As a gaming enthusiast, I’m thrilled to share that Behaviour Interactive has unveiled patch notes revealing the mechanics of The Ghoul in our beloved game. We catch a sneak peek into his Killer Perks and unique abilities. The Ghoul’s insatiable hunger for flesh promises to zero in on Survivors, and he’ll have some intriguing skills to aid in the chase. For comprehensive details, you can check out the full patch notes from the game’s official subreddit below.

NEW KILLER – THE GHOUL

KILLER POWER – ONE-EYED TERROR

SPECIAL ABILITY: Kagune Leap

  • Use the Power button to charge and launch the Kagune, tentacles that attach to any vertical surface within range and quickly pull The Ghoul forward.
  • After completing a leap, The Ghoul has a window to perform a second consecutive Kagune Leap or put Kagune Leap into cooldown by using the active ability button.
  • Kagune Leap enters cooldown once The Ghoul has consumed their leaps, if they leap over a vault or downed pallet, or if the Kagune grabs and leaps at a Survivor.
  • If The Ghoul’s second consecutive leap targets a Survivor, they will perform a grab-attack. Grab-attacks damage Survivors if they are healthy; inflict Deep Wounds; and leave a Kagune Mark.
  • Performing a grab-attack also triggers Enraged Mode.

SPECIAL ABILITY: Enraged Mode 

  • While Enraged, The Ghoul can perform up to three consecutive Kagune Leaps and can leap over vaults more quickly if they launch their Kagune at a Survivor.
  • Enraged Mode remains active while there are Survivors afflicted with Kagune Mark. Marked Survivors will lose their mark if they are fully Mended, or if they are downed.
  • The Ghoul cannot grab-attack marked Survivors.
  • Once no marked Survivors remain, a Countdown begins. When the Countdown depletes, Enraged Mode ends. A perfectly timed grab-attack will add extra time to the Countdown. The Countdown is paused while carrying Survivors.

NEW KILLER PERKS

  • Hex: Nothing But Misery:
    • The effects last until the hex totem is cleansed.
      • When you damage a Survivor with a basic attack, they gain 5/5/5% Hindered for 10/12.5/15 seconds.
  • Forever Entwined:
    • For each token, you pick up, drop and hook Survivors 4% faster.
  • None Are Free:
    • When all generators are completed, for each token, all windows and upright pallets are blocked for everyone for 12/14/16 seconds.

In a week’s time, The Ghoul is set to join the game, following the news that The Cenobite and all Hellraiser content will be departing from Dead by Daylight. While one partnership appears to be ending, another is starting. One of the exciting aspects of games like Dead by Daylight lies in its ability to introduce newcomers to horror genres they might not have explored previously. This upcoming collaboration could encourage some players to discover Tokyo Ghoul for the first time and delve into the series’ unique horror elements.
