Exciting updates are coming to Dead by Daylight in April, featuring a brand-new Blood Moon event, the highly anticipated Tokyo Ghoul chapter, and new map variants to diversify gameplay. Here’s everything you need to know about these upcoming additions.
Blood Moon Event: A New Generator Mechanic
The Blood Moon event will introduce a significant change to the classic generator repair mechanics. Instead of repairing generators, Survivors will need to fill up gas canisters by collecting fuel scattered across the map. Killers, on the other hand, will have a new tactical advantage—they can kick these modified generators, completely resetting the fuel count, forcing Survivors to start over. This new mechanic will add an extra layer of strategy and tension to matches during the event.
Tokyo Ghoul Chapter Arrives on April 2
One of the biggest additions to Dead by Daylight this year is the highly anticipated Tokyo Ghoul chapter, launching on April 2. This chapter will introduce:
Ken Kaneki as the new Killer, bringing his ghoul abilities into the Fog.
Rize Kamishiro as a Legendary Skin, featuring an entirely different voiceover from Kaneki.
Additional themed skins for various characters in the game.
To immerse players even further into the Tokyo Ghoul universe, the Dead by Daylight lobby will change to Kaneki’s infamous torture chamber, one of the most pivotal and haunting moments from the anime and manga.

New Map Variants: Day/Night Cycles & Shack-Focused Maps
Developers are also working on day and night variants for some maps, providing different atmospheres and visual styles. Additionally, Toba Landing and Grave of Glenvale will be receiving new shack-focused variants, meaning the maps will have no primary structures in the center—only the shack.
The latest of these shack-only maps, Dead Sands, will officially be added to the game on April 2, alongside the Tokyo Ghoul update. This new variant is currently available for testing in the Public Test Build (PTB).
Boulet Brothers Collaboration – New Skin Coming This Summer
As part of an ongoing collaboration with the Boulet Brothers, a brand-new cosmetic will be introduced this summer. This skin will be based on a fan-created design that won a community challenge, adding a unique and exciting addition to Dead by Daylight’s growing list of customization options.
Final Thoughts
April is shaping up to be one of the biggest months for Dead by Daylight in 2024, with the Blood Moon event, Tokyo Ghoul chapter, new map variants, and upcoming cosmetics. Whether you’re a fan of the horror classic Tokyo Ghoul or looking forward to shaking up gameplay with new mechanics, there’s a lot to be excited about in the Fog!
