Dead By Daylight update 5.2.2 – which will appear on some platforms as version 2.31 – is now available to download.
Killers and Survivors looking to leap back into The Fog will need to install this latest patch before they can play online.
Much like update 5.2.1, there is no new content featured in this mid-chapter update. One change that developer Behaviour Interactive has noted is the change back to the old pallet visual style.
For Chapter 21 Dead By Daylight introduced Hellraiser’s Pinehad as a playable character. He joins some of film’s most famous killers from Freddy Krueger and Michael Myers, to Leatherface and Ghost Face.
Other crossover characters include Silent Hill’s Pyramid Head, Resident Evil’s Nemesis, and the Demogorgon from Stranger Things. Quick note on that last killer – you have until November to unlock the Demogorgon as well as Survivors Steve and Nancy.

Will Dead By Daylight get bots on PC & consoles?
We recently re-reviewed Dead By Daylight for 2020, bumping up its original score:
Dead By Daylight has evolved into somewhat of a phenomenon, proving that the often maligned games-as-a-service model produces more than just cookie cutter loot shooters. It’s still an acquired taste and a bit rough around the edges though stands out as one of the most unique ongoing multiplayer games of the generation.
Those who currently own a copy of Dead By Daylight on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One can upgrade for free on the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S respectively, carrying over their progress – here’s how.
