Dead by Daylightoffers players a thrilling gameplay experience where they must face off against each other in 4v1 or 8v2 matches. The game’s horror setting and eerie style make it the perfect platform for collaborations with horror franchises, introducing iconic characters with unique mechanics.Dead by Daylightallows players to step into the shoes of widely recognized monsters, villains, and killers like The Demogorgon, The Cenobite, The Nemesis, and more. Unfortunately for players, not all these characters stay forever—they can be removed after a certain period. Now, the community is concerned that a popular killer might be next.
Leaker Aricarna revealed on the DBDLeaks Discord that, starting on March 4 and running until April 4, the multiplayer horror game will hold aHellraisersale. This means players will have the chance to getPinhead’s cosmetics inDead by Daylight, along with aHellraiserbundle for 1,393 Auric Cells. WhileHellraiserfans may be excited, this still-unannounced event could be a sign that Pinhead is leaving the game.
As Aricarna explained, a similar situation happened withStranger Thingsbefore its removal from the game. Luckily for players,Stranger Thingseventually returned toDead by Daylight. The leaker also mentionedAttack on Titan, which was also removed under similar circumstances. However, while the leaker’s theory has some merit, Behaviour Interactive has not made any official announcement regarding this matter.
The leak has sparked discussions on social media, with players sharing their thoughts onDead by Daylight’s killers and licenses. Some believe there can be no other reason for Behaviour to hold a month-long sale unless the license is about to expire. Another player pointed to an alleged complex relationship between Behaviour and Clive Barker, which could explain Pinhead’s potential removal.
Amid all the speculation, the developer is gearing up for upcoming chapters and recently delayed content by three weeks to focus on addressing long-standing issues, necessary quality-of-life improvements, and critical bug fixes. While players continue to debate the leaks, it remains to be seen how the developer will address these concerns—and whether this event truly means what they fear it does.
