Dead by Daylight Chapter 27 Release Time Countdown, Killer Confirmed and Everything We Know So Far

It's not long now until the launch of Dead by Daylight’s Tools Of Torment Chapter.

The new chapter, and new killer, will arrive on March 7.

It’s been about a week since the Tools of Torment Public Test Build (PTB) went live, and Behaviour Interactive has a few changes in mind for the game.

The changes are fairly extensive so we advise hopping over to the latest Dead By Daylight article to read through all the various balance adjustments which the devs have prepared for the Chapter’s release on March 7th. 

Of course, we'll be sure to share updated patch notes once they're released.

The Dead By Daylight: Tools Of Torment Chapter brings The Skull Merchant, Renato Lyra, and Thalita Lyra into The Fog.

But ahead of the chapter's release on March 7, the team at Behavior Interactive has released a brand new behind-the-scenes video giving you a few insights from the development team.

The new Tools of Torment Chapter is now live on the DBD PTB. 

It features a new killer, The Skull Merchant, and two new survivors, Renato Lyra and Thalita Lyra.

It also includes a visual update for the Red Forest Realm, customizable loadouts for Survivor bots, and various quality-of-life features & balance changes.

And for those who haven't seen it, here's the new trailer.

Behavior Interactive got us doing our best Detective David Mills impression.

Behavior Interactive has announced Dead by Daylight: Tools Of Torment, the upcoming 27th Chapter of the game.

Take a look at the teaser trailer below and watch out for more details on February 15.

Leaks would suggest that the Chapter 27 PTB could kick off next week on 14 February, with potentially the new Chapter launching on 7 March.

But remember, whilst the new chapter could be weeks away from launching on live servers,  if the PTB is coming next week, we should learn more about the new Chapter 27 killer, survivors, and map.

Either way, it's going to be an exciting next few weeks.

Could Chapter 27 be a Dying Light x Dead by Daylight collaboration? According to these leaks spotted by known leaker and dataminer Leaks by Daylight, it just might be! There are several hints leading us to believe that a Dying Light collab is in the works.

First, Dying Light's Twitter responded to a post by DBD mentioning the perk 'Dying Light' in the Shrine of Secrets from the latter game; it wouldn't be the first time that the perk has been in the Shrine, but it's the first time the Dying Light team has responded to it.

Just a day later, the Dying Light team posted a picture of Dying Light characters sitting around a campfire, a very possible reference to Dead by Daylight, in which the survivors sit around a campfire between trials.

The Five Nights At Freddy's Movie is in the works, and filming will begin in February 2023. The franchise is going stronger than ever, so could this mean we'll get a Five Nights x Dead by Daylight chapter? We haven't heard any news yet, but we definitely think this could be a plausible crossover!

As we enter the new year, Behaviour still hasn't released any news about Chapter 27. While they're keeping the cat in the bag for now, it's possible we'll hear something new in late January 2023.

After all, we usually hear at least a few leaks or hints as to what the next chapter will be a few months prior to its release.

It looks like we'll have to wait until the new year for any developments or leaks on the next chapter, killer and survivor for Dead By Daylight.

A Dead by Daylight x Dead Space crossover might be coming soon. A Dead by Daylight: Dead Space Chapter page was found on the website for digital game retailer Instant Gaming.

But is it real? It's hard to say at this point, but we're keeping our fingers crossed.
