Dead by Daylight: Teaser hints at a werewolf as a killer

A new killer for Dead by Daylight is on the way. The clues suggest a werewolf – but what is really behind it?

The last killer from Dead by Daylight, the Oni, is already a few weeks in the past and the community is eager for new killer content. The developers have now released a first teaser that ignites new discussions and speculations.

What is shown in the teaser? The 15-second clip shows a heavy iron chain lying in the dark. The chain is being dragged as something seems to move at the end of it. When the chain is fully tightened, blood can clearly be seen at its end.

This is what the community suspects: Players suspect that the announcement fits a werewolf as a killer. This would also align with the statement of the Game Director on Twitter, who commented on the trailer with the words “Something to chew on…” – and that would perfectly fit a werewolf. What abilities this could have, however, is still uncertain. There is speculation about a switch between two forms, similar to the Oni; a wolf form and a human form.

Does a werewolf fit into Dead by Daylight? Generally, yes. Dead by Daylight primarily incorporates “classic” horror and slasher figures. A werewolf would fit well into the group of killers and at least aesthetically fit into the game. Werewolf stories are among the oldest scary tales that appear time and again in pop culture. In this regard, it would be a home run.

This is how the community mocks the trailer: In contrast to the plausible werewolf theory, many Dead by Daylight fans also make a joke out of the trailer. Yesterday, memes flooded the subreddit, all assuming that the next survivor will be “Super Mario” from Nintendo and the killer is a Chain Chomp.

This is a recurring enemy from the Mario universe. A large, spherical dog with sharp teeth, which is always chained and usually gets “defeated” by freeing it.

Whether this will actually be a werewolf or if something entirely different is at the end of the chain remains to be seen. Until then, you can find the current best killers in Dead by Daylight here. A resolution regarding what the trailer is about will come by next Tuesday (18.02.2020), as the next PTR will go live then and the new content will be tested.
