The Dead by Daylight universe keeps expanding with surprising crossovers, and the iconic Tokyo Ghoul series is the latest to enter the fog.

Set for 2025, this major collaboration reunites fans with the Tokyo Ghoul world through the lens of Dead by Daylight's tense horror gameplay. Before the official launch, the team is playtesting new features and offering glimpses of what's to come, most notably introducing a formidable new Killer: Ken Kaneki.

Kaneki wields his signature kagune in combat and for traversal, using the organic weapon to grapple onto surfaces and launch himself across the map. This mobility adds a distinct layer to his predatory style, faithfully translating the character's supernatural abilities from the original manga and anime into the game's mechanics.

Ken Kaneki's arrival underscores Dead by Daylight's strategy of enriching its cast with figures from acclaimed pop culture stories. It delivers novel gameplay for veterans while honoring the essence of the borrowed franchise, creating anticipation for how this dark fusion will play out upon release.
