Behaviour Interactive has announced a significant change to its popular asymmetrical horror game, Dead By Daylight. Known for incorporating iconic figures from renowned horror franchises, the game will see the departure of the Hellraiser Chapter. This means that the notorious Cenobite, also known as Pinhead, will no longer be available for new players to unlock.
The Unavailability Countdown
Fans of the horror classic Hellraiser have until Friday, April 4, at 8 am PT/11 am ET to purchase the Pinhead character if they wish to add him to their Killer roster. After this date, the character's downloadable content (DLC) will be removed from the game’s store, making it unavailable for future purchase. However, those who have already unlocked or purchased Pinhead can continue to enjoy his terrifying pursuits in the game.
A Unique Gameplay Experience
Dead By Daylight has garnered acclaim for bringing horror figures to life with remarkable accuracy and creative gameplays. Each Killer from different franchises offers unique abilities and challenges. The Cenobite, with his chilling presence and distinctive skills, has added an exciting dimension to the gameplay since his introduction.
With his exceptional abilities, Pinhead has been a fan-favorite for adding a thrilling experience to the roster of Killers. His potential removal has sparked speculation among players about what the game might introduce next, while also underlining the transient nature of licensed content in the gaming world.
What This Means for Players
While the game frequently incorporates content from various Intellectual Properties (IPs), they are often limited edition and come with an implicit understanding that they might not be available forever. This emphasizes the necessity for players to seize the opportunity before such chapters leave the game's offerings.
The Hellraiser Chapter’s departure acts as a gentle reminder for players to explore and unlock unique content while it's accessible, as the landscape of the game continues to evolve with new content and the inevitable retirement of certain DLC packs.
Fans and collectors who pride themselves on maintaining a complete roster will undoubtedly aim to acquire the Cenobite before the looming deadline.
