Exciting news for both Dead by Daylight and Tokyo Ghoul fans! Behaviour Interactive has announced that they will officially unveil the upcoming Tokyo Ghoul chapter at the TADAIMA Japan event in Tokyo on March 12, 2024.
Dead by Daylight x Tokyo Ghoul: What We Know So Far
The collaboration between Dead by Daylight and the Tokyo Ghoul franchise has been one of the most highly anticipated crossovers in the game’s history (I have been telling you about since October 2024). While details remain scarce, leaks and speculation suggest that the chapter will feature:
A killer (Ken Kaneki) with a unique and terrifying power that echoes Nemesis from the Resident Evil chapter. When activating the power, two tentacles drop from the top left and right of the screen, enabling a dash that slightly lifts the killer off the ground, akin to Blight’s mobility but with a jumping twist. An iridescent addon allows for a consecutive dash, increasing the killer’s unpredictability and threat.
- Killer: The power features tentacle-like appendages that provide a dynamic and fast-paced chasing mechanic.
- Skin: The chapter includes a skin for Rize Kamishiro, complete with voice lines entirely in Japanese, adding authenticity and depth to the character.
With Behaviour Interactive choosing to reveal the chapter in Tokyo, the setting of Tokyo Ghoul, it’s clear that the developers are aiming for an authentic and immersive introduction to this exciting new content.
Tokyo Ghoul Chapter Was Already Teased in Dead by Daylight
Interestingly, hints about the Tokyo Ghoul collaboration appeared within Dead by Daylight over two months ago. This aligns with what Creative Director Dave Richard previously stated—that upcoming chapters would be subtly teased through in-game clues before their official reveal.

These early teasers now make even more sense, as Behaviour Interactive prepares to officially unveil the Tokyo Ghoul chapter.
What is Tokyo Ghoul?
Tokyo Ghoul is a dark fantasy anime and manga series that dives into the dangerous, often gruesome, world of ghouls—creatures who survive by feeding on human flesh and blend into human society. The story follows Ken Kaneki, a university student who becomes half-ghoul after a fateful encounter and surgery, forcing him to navigate his new life between the ghoul and human worlds. The series is known for its intense themes of survival, identity, and the cost of power, making it a fitting potential addition to the Dead by Daylight universe.
What Is TADAIMA Japan?
TADAIMA Japan is a major event celebrating Japanese pop culture, anime, and gaming. This makes it the perfect venue for Dead by Daylight to showcase its latest collaboration with one of the most famous dark anime franchises. Fans attending the event will likely get an exclusive first look at the chapter’s trailer, gameplay mechanics, and content before it launches.

When Will the Tokyo Ghoul Chapter Be Released?
While the official release date has not yet been confirmed, Behaviour Interactive typically launches new chapters a few weeks after their reveal. Given that the presentation is happening on March 12, players can expect the Tokyo Ghoul chapter to arrive in early April—potentially around April 2, 2024, based on previous chapter schedules.
This marks Dead by Daylight‘s first chapter anime crossover, and it could pave the way for more anime horror-themed chapters in the future. Stay tuned for more details as we get closer to the big reveal!
