PTBs are limited to the Steam version of the game, allowing players to test new chapters, killers, and gameplay updates before the official release.
The centerpiece celebration will happen June 14, 2026, marking exactly ten years since Dead by Daylight first launched in 2016.
Behaviour Interactive is hosting a one‑day in‑person community event at:
The event is planned as the largest in‑person gathering the game has hosted and will feature multiple fan‑focused activities, including:
The celebration runs throughout the day and evening, bringing together developers and players to mark the milestone.
Because the teaser is deliberately vague, speculation has taken off across the community.
One character frequently discussed is Slenderman (often called The Operator in fan discussions). Reports covering the teaser note that clues in the roadmap and promotional imagery have led players to theorize that a Slenderman‑inspired chapter could be on the way.
Other potential horror icons are often mentioned by fans in theory discussions, but none of these characters have been officially confirmed by Behaviour Interactive.
Dead by Daylight launched in 2016 with only three killers and four survivors. Since then, the roster has expanded dramatically through original and licensed chapters.
As the game approaches its 10‑year milestone, Behaviour says the lineup now includes:
This rapid growth reflects nearly a decade of new chapters and collaborations with major horror franchises.
The anniversary is particularly notable because Dead by Daylight was not originally designed as a live‑service game with long‑term roadmaps or decade‑long content plans.
Despite that, the game has grown into one of the most successful asymmetrical multiplayer horror titles, expanding its roster and collaborations year after year.
Looking ahead, Behaviour has suggested the game’s future could extend well beyond its first decade. When developers were asked if they planned another ten years of support, their answer was simple: “At least.”
The anniversary broadcast and upcoming chapter are expected to mark the start of that next era for the game.
Even with teasers and scheduling hints, several key details remain unconfirmed:
Those answers are expected to arrive as the anniversary programming unfolds and the new chapter reaches the Public Test Build.
For now, the blurred teaser has done exactly what Behaviour intended—spark intense curiosity about what might emerge from the Fog next.
