Following the recent news that the Stranger Things license is expiring this year for Dead by Daylight, the team over at Behaviour has announced another horror icon joining the extensive lineup of crossovers. Enter: Hellraiser. We've already got our first look at what the latest DLC will have to offer now that a new killer has hit the game's Public Test Build.
The first teaser for the upcoming chapter debuted a few days ago (seen in the video at the top of the article), but the latest social media tease goes a little more in detail. The Public Test Build, or PTB for short, is available and brings more than just the usual bug fixes. Included in update 5.2.0 is a new killer, the Cenobite. Cenobites are extra-dimensional beings known from the Hellraiser series, brainwashed into torturing humans for all time. This makes it the perfect addition to Dead by Daylight.
Also included in the update is Large Text Settings, which is a feature that many players have been asking for concerning more accessibility settings. For what else is new, check out the latest PTB patch notes below, courtesy of Behaviour:
Update 5.2.0:
Features
- Added a new Killer - The Cenobite
- Match Results - When players leave a Trial with a Limited Item (Example: The Nemesis's Vaccine) they will now be notified that they do not get to keep it. It has been consumed by The Entity.
- Large Text Settings - The players can enable this option to enlarge all texts in the HUD, increasing readability.
Content
The Nemesis Update:
- Movement speed while charging Tentacle Strike Tier 3 increased to 4.0m/s (was 3.8m/s)
- Shattered S.T.A.R.S. Badge effect duration increased to 60 seconds (was 30 seconds)
- Iridescent Umbrella Badge effect duration increased to 30 seconds (was 15 seconds, but was erroneously displayed as 12 seconds)
- Ritual of The Nemesis reduced to reaching maximum Mutation Rate one time (was 4)
Dev note: The Nemesis came out in a good state, but has been underperforming slightly in higher skill brackets. These players tend to hit Mutation Rate 3 more often, so a buff here should give him a slight boost at that level of play. Additionally, we have buffed two addons that were underperforming to make them more viable, and made the associated ritual less of a pain to complete.
- Various bug fixes and improvements to address performance issues on the Family Residence, Sanctum of Wrath and Midwich Elementary School.
- Blood Lodge, Dead Dawg Saloon and The Game maps are re-enabled
- Updated a variety of survivors' hair and facial hair cosmetics.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed an issue that caused The Executioner's rear to be too flat when having "The Corrupted" outfit equipped.
- Fixed an issue that caused a specific hook blocking navigation when a Survivor is hooked on it in Hospital map
- Fixed an issue that caused the killer to body block the basement when standing at the door frame in the main building of the Blood Lodge
- Fixed an issue that caused Meg "Jewel of the party" very rare outfit multiple clipping with her body
- Fixed an issue that caused Meg "Jewel of the party" very rare outfit skirt misshapen when performing various action
- Fixed an issue that caused female survivors to be missing an animation when stepping on a bear trap with the Calm Spirit perk equipped.
- Fixed an issue that caused survivors to perform the falling animation when walking down some stairs in the Raccoon City Police Station map.
- Fixed an issue that caused survivors to float and fall to the ground when cleansing some totems.
- Fixed an issue that caused the durability bar of toolboxes to appear red when sabotaging a hook.
- Fixed an issue that caused the walking animation of the Nemesis to be missing when in spectator mode in a custom game.
- Fixed an issue that caused Victor to be able to pounce on survivors while Dead Hard is being used.
- Fixed an issue that may cause survivors to remain stuck in a window when downed by the Trickster's knives while vaulting.
- Fixed an issue that caused the Doctor's Shock Therapy and Static Blasts not to negate the Oblivious effect.
- Fixed an issue that caused the sound notification for the Tinkerer perk to be too low.
- Fixed an issue that caused the Coup de Grace perk icon to remain lit until all generators are done instead of until all tokens are used.
- Fixed an issue that caused the hook count and the generator count to overlap each other when spectating a custom game.
- Fixed an issue that caused the pause menu to open and close constantly when holding the Escape key during a match.
- Fixed an issue that caused player names with a # symbol to get truncated in the HUD.
- Fixed an issue that caused save file problem.
- Fixed an issue that caused survivor to receive an incorrect benevolent emblem.
Known Issues:
The team also shared known issues that they are prepping to fix with the next update, including the inability to remove Survivors from chains, new Rank Crest images, animation glitches, and more. To see what else is new in the PTB, check out the full patch notes right here.
We don't have a release date for when the full DLC becomes available outside of the testing area, but more will be revealed soon. For now, PC players can get in on the action a little early and report any areas they feel could be improved before Hellraiser officially arrives in Dead by Daylight.

A new Developer Update has been released and it gives plenty of insight into some big changes coming to the game with the release of the next big patch.
Dead by Daylight Patch 5.2.0 which is most likely arriving with DBD Chapter 21 is set to introduce Skill Based Matchmaking (SBMM) for good. In addition, this will mean the removal of ranks and the introduction of a new Grades system.
We've detailed some of these changes further down, but in addition, there are a few more extensive changes being made to the PTB build of Dead by Daylight 5.2.0 to tweak the Cenobite killer.
You can see these tweaks on our Dead by Daylight Patch Notes hub, by following the link.

Leaks by Daylight have suggested that Chapter 21 has a release date of September 7th, which would be next Tuesday. There is no confirmed details yet, so take this with a pinch of salt for the time being. More to follow...
August 26 2021 -
Behaviour Interactive has revealed a new teaser for their Hellraiser chapter alongside a release window. Although for now it's being left opened-ended as just "September". We suspect it could arrive at some stage from September 16th onwards, depending on how late in the month they wish to release the new killer.
Also, for now it does seem as though Pinhead is arriving solo. There's been no talk of new survivors.
Which raises the question, is this Chapter 21, or a Hellraiser Paragraph. Food for thought...

August 17 2021 -
Behaviour Interactive has officially confirmed that Hellraiser's Pinhead will arrive in Dead By Daylight as the next killer. Offering a new teaser clip, they didn't offer any further details, only that this Hellraiser crossover is "coming soon". We've got the full story and you can watch that clip below:
Chapter 21 Release Date
Unsurprisingly there is no official release date for Chapter 21 just yet. Couple this together with the fact that new content is normally tested in the games PTR before going live and it's harder than ever to give a specific date for when we can expect to see the next chapter go live.
That being said, if you're looking for a rough estimate, we can likely expect to see Chapter 21 go live at some point in late September. Let us explain why.
The time between new chapters has historically been 'roughly 3 months', and with the Resident Evil chapter going live on June 15, it makes sense that Chapter 21 will arrive at some point towards the end of September.
As soon as we have a more concrete release date we'll be sure to update this page.
Skill-Based Matchmaking
For some time now the developers have been running tests for the Skill-Based Matchmaking (SBMM) system.
For those who don't know what that is, it's basically a system to try and match you with players of similar skill to ensure more even or enjoyable matches.
Now Behavior Interactive has announced that from the release of the 5.2.0 update (coming with Chapter 21) SBMM will be permanent. Here's a few details from the devs:
The most recent SBMM test resulted in fairer matches across the board for players of all skill levels, especially low-to-mid skilled players. High skill players would see the most variance in their matches due to the low number of players with high ratings (it’s lonely at the top!), though their matches would still be more consistent compared to Rank-Based Matchmaking.
During peak hours, 99% of matches formed were what we consider reasonably balanced, with your odds of escaping or killing a Survivor varying within +/- 25% of the average. Better yet, 75% of matches fell within a +/- 5% chance. This is a huge step up from Rank-Based Matchmaking where 99% of matches saw a 45% variation, and 75% of matches saw a 25% variation.

Rank Changes & Reward
As a result of SBMM, it means that ranks are being removed from the game and replaced with 'Grades'. It's still pretty similar, but there are a few changes to be expected.
Here's how it will work:
Ranks will become Grades and feature all new icons, ranging from Ash to Iridescent. You can increase your grade by earning pips just like before, though there’s now a limit to how many pips you can lose.
On the 13th of each month, grades reset to Ash IV (the lowest grade) and you’ll receive up to 250,000 Bloodpoints depending on how far you’ve managed to climb. You’ll be rewarded for each role separately, so playing both sides can reap double the rewards.
Chapter 21 Teasers
August 13, 2021 -
A new teaser for Dead by Daylight Chapter 21 has been released and it seems to be referencing Hellraiser‘s Pinhead character as the next killer.
The clip itself is rather short at just 16 seconds and appears to show an old-fashioned TV screen with nothing more than a static picture.
The word ‘Play’ and the numbers ’19:87′ appear in the top corners of the screen with some fans also believing this could be a hint towards Five Nights At Freddy's.
However, it appears others are more convinced that this is a link to Hellraiser, incidentally released in 1987. The TV scene from the film, seen below, would also seem to suggest it could be pinhead coming to the game.
August 12, 2021 -
There's some very heavy hinting going on right now, with fans discovering some not so subtle teasers from the devs at Behaviour Interactive.
Some audio files posted to discord have been run through a spectrogram and appear to spell the word HELL whilst some fans have also spotted a series of letters posted to the games Twitter profile that also spell out 'RAISE'.
It would seem to indicate pretty heavily that Pinhead (from Hellraiser) is indeed coming to the game.

Chapter 21 New Survivor
Some players believe we could see the actress who played Kirsty Cotton in the Hellraiser films, Ashley Laurence, added as a new survivor.
This seems to be based on the fact that she started following the Dead by Daylight and Behaviour Interactive accounts on Twitter. Something we know actors have done before when entering into the game.
For now though, there is no official details on new survivors coming with Chapter 21. So stay tuned for more details soon.

Dead By Daylight Teases New Killer for Chapter 21 With Bizarre Trailer
By Callum Williams
ShareTweetEmail
Dead by Daylight teases Chapter 21, with fans speculating it could be another crossover with one of several popular horror franchises.
Back in June, players got their hands on Dead by Daylight'ssecond official video game crossover, with the world of Resident Evilmaking its way to the asymmetric multiplayer experience. Now fans have had a good few weeks exploring the Racoon City Police Department, it seems Behaviour Interactive is setting up what's coming next, and it's already caused a lot of speculation among the Dead by Daylight community.
Posted on the game's official social media accounts, the first tease for Chapter 21 is live, showing off a 16-second clip of a flickering TV set. The trailer begins with the television turning on, showing static and an obscured image before it's switched off and the Dead by Daylight title cardfills the screen.
RELATED: Dead by Daylight Survey May Hint at Future DLC Plans
Although the teaser doesn't off much to go on, fans immediately got to work deciphering the cryptic footage, coming up with several theories as to what the next add-on's theme could be. Most seem to think it's teasing a new crossover, with both Hellraiser and Five Nights at Freddy's being the two main guesses.
In terms of the former, many suggest that the teaser is a reference to a scene from the original Hellraiser, where protagonist Kirsty sees a flickering TV screen with a blooming red flower moments before Pinhead and his Cenobite allies emerge from hell. The obscured image on the screen also resembles the red flower, while the numbers "19.87" in the TV's top right-hand corner could refer to the first Hellraiser's release in 1987.
On the other hand, Five Nights at Freddy'sfans have pointed out that the TV screen could be referencing the series' various surveillance systems. Others have suggested that the 19.87 might hint towards The Bite of 87, which is an important event in the franchise's timeline.
Other theories have pointed towards the likes of Poltergeistand even The Ring, so fans definitely have a few ideas about where Dead by Daylight could be heading next. As with most of the game's teasers, it likely won't be too long until they find out whether they're running from Pinhead, Springtrap, or a completely original killer. In the meantime, players are still digging into the game's latest chapter, which added an array of iconic Resident Evil characters to the roster. Alongside getting to play as Nemesis and use his various bioweapons abilities, the DLC added non-playable enemies for the first time, with the killer being joined by AI zombies that roam the map.
Dead by Daylight is out now on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Stadia, Switch, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and mobile devices.
