Dead by Daylight, boasting over 50 million players worldwide, continues to captivate its audience through innovative collaborations. The latest surprise? A partnership with the acclaimed anime and manga series, Tokyo Ghoul by Ishida Sui!
Ken Kaneki Joins as “The Ghoul”
Central to this collaboration is Ken Kaneki, the protagonist of Tokyo Ghoul, who now assumes the role of a formidable Killer known as “The Ghoul.” In Dead by Daylight, Kaneki’s transformation into a half-ghoul is reimagined, emphasizing his predatory nature. Players can harness his kagune—tentacle-like appendages—for swift map traversal and lethal attacks. Additionally, his “Enraged Mode” enhances strength and mobility with each successful strike, making him a relentless adversary.

Exclusive Tokyo Ghoul-Themed Cosmetics
Beyond introducing a new Killer, this collaboration enriches the game with Tokyo Ghoul-inspired cosmetics:
- Rize Kamishiro Outfit: A Legendary costume for The Ghoul, reflecting the character pivotal to Kaneki’s transformation.
- Survivor Accessories: Exclusive outfits and masks for characters like Yui Kimura, Renato Lyra, Nea Karlsson, and others, allowing players to immerse themselves further into the Tokyo Ghoul universe.

Release Date and Public Test Access
Eager fans can experience this collaboration firsthand on April 2, 2025. For those keen to dive in earlier, the content is available via the Public Test Build (PTB) on Steam, offering a sneak peek and an opportunity to provide valuable feedback to the developers.
