It’s not long until Dead By Daylight fully kicks off its Haunted By Daylight Halloween event and the game is getting ready for a fright-fest. The special seasonal activities get underway properly in a couple of days but Dead By Daylight is starting the festivities early today, thanks to a new update for the game and the addition of some brand new Halloween-themed store content.
New patch notes have been released alongside the new Haunted By Daylight store collections, which players can get their hands on as of today. Two creepy cosmetic collections have been added to the store. First up is The Hallowed Blight Collection which includes new very rare outfits for killers Albert Wesker (The Mastermind) and The Oni. Blighted Wesker looks truly gross and menacing, as does The Oni, whose Bursting With Fury outfit also looks suitably furious. In addition, The Tricks and Treats Collection is also new to the store as of today and features Halloween-themed outfits for survivors Dwight Fairfield and Jane Romero. Dwight Fairfield can obtain the very rare Toilet Paper Mummy outfit and Jane Romero can exude old-school style with the equally very rare Hollywood Glamor outfit.
In addition to these new cosmetics, Dead By Daylight‘s latest mid-chapter update goes live today, with some of the most notable patch notes listed below. For the full breakdown of what’s new and for specific details of bug fixes in the current update, you can check out the official website.
