'Dead by Daylight' gets a new chapter and hits the Epic Games Store

A new survivor, killer, and map for Dead by Daylight is coming soon!

Portrait of a Murder, the next chapter for Dead By Daylight, brings two new characters and an original map to the asymmetrical horror phenomenon. Oh, and it’s all coming to the Epic Games Store too!

Dave Richard, creative director on Dead by Daylight, shared some words on what fans can expect in the new chapter.

“Portrait of a Murder is Dead by Daylight  going back to its roots: an original story and universe, set in mystery, dark fantasy and fear,” Richard said in a press release. “The new characters are also unique and diverse, which is part of our DNA, and representative of our playerbase.”

Take a look at Portrait of a Murder’s  announcement trailer for yourself below.

The Artist, or rather Carmina Mora, is Portrait of a Murder’s  new killer. There are no details on her abilities or perks just yet, but she’s got quite an interesting backstory for all the lore nerds out there. It seems she was a surrealist painter that met a rather gruesome end before Dead by Daylight’s  entity transformed her into a spectral assassin. 

On the side of this update, Jonah Vasquez is the newest survivor getting added to Dead by Daylight. Again, no perks or ability info just yet. However, he’s a CIA codebreaker that’s stumbled across a particularly familiar set of numbers from his past, one that leads him to Chile and right into The Artist’s clutches.

Speaking of Chile, that’s where the new map called The Forsaken Boneyard will take place. In the story, it’s where Carmina Mora met her end and became The Artist. Apparently, it’ll be quite a vertical map, since there’s a massive crypt at the center of things.

Portrait of a Murder  doesn’t have a firm release date but Behaviour Interactive says it’s coming sometime in November.

Finally, Dead by Daylight  is coming to the Epic Games Store in December. All past editions and DLC will be available on the storefront, which is surprising considering stuff like the Stranger Things  DLC is getting removed from other storefronts in a few weeks. Who knows how that’ll all work! 

Behaviour Interactive recently  got in some hot water for being associated with NFTs, even though the studio went on to claim  blockchain tech isn’t in Dead By Daylight. Though Tim Sweeny did state  that sort of technology is welcome on the Epic Games Store.
