Behaviour Interactive just announced a huge crossover of Dead by Daylight x Tokyo Ghoul Chapter. The big reveal is happening on March 12, 2024, at the TADAIMA Japan event in Tokyo. And here is all that we know.
Dead by Daylight x Tokyo Ghoul Crossover
Dead by Daylight is teaming up with Tokyo Ghoul, and it’s a big deal. This new chapter brings the eerie world of the anime straight into the game.
The killer, Ken Kaneki, will have some wild abilities, using tentacle-like appendages to chase survivors. His movement is expected to be quick and unpredictable, similar to how Nemesis and Blight hunt down their targets. One of his rare add-ons might even let him dash multiple times in a row, making him even harder to escape.
There’s also a fresh skin for Rize Kamishiro, complete with real Japanese voice lines, which adds an extra layer of authenticity.
Before they officially announced the Tokyo Ghoul chapter, Dead by Daylight dropped some sneaky hints in the game. This is totally in line with Creative Director Dave Richard’s style—he loves hiding clues for future content.
Even posters, like one called “The Ghoul’s Lament,” added fuel to the fire. These little details got players talking and made the big reveal at the TADAIMA Japan event even more exciting.
Dead by Daylight x Tokyo Ghoul Chapter Crossover Reveal and Release Date
The Dead by Daylight x Tokyo Ghoul Chapter collab will be announced at the TADAIMA Japan event on March 12, 2024, which is a huge cultural event all about Japanese pop culture, anime, and gaming.
People look forward to this event because it often reveals exclusive content, trailers, and game features before they’re officially released.
Moreover, Tokyo is the perfect place to announce the Dead by Daylight and Tokyo Ghoul chapter since Tokyo Ghoul takes place in the city.
Then after the official reveal, fans won’t have to wait long. The chapter is expected to drop in early April 2024, right in line with the game’s usual update cycle.
What is Tokyo Ghoul?
For those who don’t know, “Tokyo Ghoul” is a dark fantasy anime and manga about a world where ghouls—creatures that look like people but have to eat human flesh to survive—live in secret among humans.
The story follows Ken Kaneki, a regular college kid whose life changes forever after a date with a girl named Rize Kamishiro goes horribly wrong. She turns out to be a ghoul and tries to eat him, but an accident leaves her dead and Kaneki barely alive.
After a life-saving surgery, he wakes up with her organs inside him, making him half-human, half-ghoul. Now, he has to figure out how to live in both worlds while dealing with his new hunger, dangerous enemies, and the tough choices that come with being part of a society that fears and hunts ghouls.
The series dives deep into what it means to be human, blurring the lines between good and evil in a thrilling and emotional journey.
Overall, this Dead by Daylight x Tokyo Ghoul Chapter crossover is a big deal since it’s the first time the game is teaming up with an anime series, which could open the door for even more anime horror crossovers.
Dead by Daylight has already worked with horror legend Junji Ito, bringing in spooky new skins based on his creations. Now, with this latest addition, the game’s horror universe keeps getting bigger and better.
