Dead by Daylight has released a new update and it brings both a brand new monster and survivor to the game, and fans of the series should be excited as it is available today!
Titled as Descend Beyond, the new set of characters will be the latest characters to join the ever growing roster for Dead by Daylight. Behaviour Interactive has also released a trailer for the new DLC, which showcases both of our new characters in action. And as I mentioned above, the developers released an update for the game which has brought new fixes, changes, and additions to the game.
Check out the official trailer for Descend Beyond for Dead by Daylight down below:
Trailer Description:
Let ambition drive you… but tread carefully: the line between ambition and hubris is razor thin. Experience the corruption of The Blight, and the ambitious spirit of Felix Richter with the Descend Beyond Chapter in Dead by Daylight.
The Blight, a bright and ambitious chemist who sought to enhance humanity through the use of his compounds, only to become a victim of his own ambitions, is the new Killer. After his research was stolen, The Blight was lured into the Realm of the Entity by the promise of new, forbidden knowledge. The new survivor is Felix Richter, an eccentric architect with a unique vision. Returning to the mysterious island where his father had disappeared, Felix descended into the darkness beyond and was never seen again.
The full set of patch notes have also been detailed, which oyu can check out down below:

Features & Content
Many in-game objects in Dead By Daylight haven’t been changed significantly since the game’s launch. As part of our ongoing effort to enhance the game’s visuals, many of these objects got visual updates in this patch to bring them closer to our long-term vision for the appearance of the game. Some realms also got visual updates, with more coming later in future patches.
- Visual updates of several common in-game objects:
- Visual update of the Generators, including changes to models, animations and VFX. The Survivor repairing animations and VFX were also updated.
- Visual update of the Pallets, including models and VFX.
- Visual update of the Lockers.
- Visual update of the Chests, including the model and changes to the Survivor’s interaction. This Survivor interaction has been updated
- Visual updates to some maps, including additions of breakable walls:
- Springwood – Updated Badham Preschool Maps I – V
- Yamaoka Estate – Updated Family Residence and Sanctum of Wrath
- Update aiming when using the flashlight. Up to 4.1.0, the flashlight would aim up and to the right of the center of the screen. In 4.1.0, the aiming animation was updated, which caused the flashlight to aim more towards right of center. Now, the aim should be squarely in the center.
