Information on the distribution of skins was also released.

New Academic Book VII "Abandonment"


This academic book tells the story of William "Bill" Overbeck's past and the background of his encounter with the "Left 4 Dead" gang. Players can unlock never-before-told events that took place weeks before the battle against the "Left 4 Dead" infected (zombies), take on new challenges, and earn free amulets designed around the "Left 4 Dead" theme for survivors or killers.

Free tracks include exclusive skins for Bill and a community skin designed for Claudette in a community contest. There are also some great exclusive skins available in the premium track (paid) for Kate Denson, Plague, Trapper, and Zarina.


New Bluegriff Challenge:
A new type of challenge is introduced in the latest academic book: the Glyph Challenge, which allows players to call up new interactive items within a match.
When a survivor finds a Blue Glyph and activates the risk, they are forced to flee with a random weakening, bringing an additional challenge. Players can test their skills and game play or avoid taking on additional challenges.

Three exclusive skins are available!

New content to be implemented in the "Beyond the Foggy World" major update project

The graphics update will not only fix the "Coldwind Farm" map, but also introduce new features to improve accessibility.


Color Blind Mode
In "Dead by Daylight," red color highlighting was used to identify important elements of the game, such as scars, generators, and hooks, but when combined with dark environments, it was difficult for those affected by color blindness to enjoy the game. With this improvement, it will be possible to adjust the visibility by implementing the ability to adjust the color type and intensity using a simple slider in the graphics settings menu.


■Adjustment of light effects
In "Dead by Daylight," the effects shown by the killer "Doctor" have also been adjusted so that players who are sensitive to light, such as intense flashing lights, or those who suffer from epilepsy, can play with ease. The Doctor has been improved not only in his animation but also in his own design.
