Dead by Daylight's next licensed chapter is Terrifier, adding Art the Clown as a Killer. Behaviour confirmed a November 2026 release window on its roadmap, and coverage of the public test build timing estimates the full release around November 17, 2026.[1][2]
The chapter closed out an October of Horror event cycle. Community expectation is a new Killer plus themed cosmetics rather than a full roster refresh, consistent with recent licensed chapters.[2]
Dates and the PTB
A public test build ran in late October, and Behaviour's roadmap dates the chapter for November 2026. GamesRadar's estimate lands the live release on or near Tuesday, November 17.[2][1]
What to expect
Art the Clown is the headline Killer. Exact perks and any survivor content should be confirmed against the official news page when the chapter notes publish, not early community summaries.[1]
