Dead by Daylight 'Chains of Hate' Introduces New Killer 'The Deathslinger'

Despite having released back in 2016, the asymmetric multiplayer horror game Dead by Daylight is still popular to this day. This is largely thanks to regular support from developer Behaviour Interactive, which has continued to release substantial new Dead by Daylight content on a consistent basis. Now the next piece of Dead by Daylight content has been announced in the form of Chapter 15: Chains of Hate, which will introduce a killer, map, survivor, and more when it launches on March 10 for $7.99.
The new Dead by Daylight killer is called The Deathslinger. Wielding a "heavily modified" speargun, The Deathslinger is able to shoot his victims and pull them close. Needless to say, The Deathslinger should make a fittingly creepy addition to the growing Dead by Daylight roster of killers.

Dead by Daylight players that buy the Chapter 15: Chains of Hate DLC on March 10 will also get their hands on a new survivor named Zarina Kassir. According to the developers, Dead by Daylight survivor Kassir is a "daring filmmaker" who specializes in healing other survivors.




As for the new map, Dead by Daylight Chapter 15 will introduce one with a western theme. Called the Dead Dawg Saloon, the new Dead by Daylight map takes place on the "unforgiving frontier" in a location that was once the location of a deadly gang war. The new map, survivor, and killer should be available for all versions of the game on March 10, including the Dead by Daylight Switch version.
It remains to be seen how fans react to the new Dead by Daylight DLC, but various streamers are streaming the new content right now. Unfortunately, Behaviour Interactive has yet to release a trailer that properly showcases The Deathslinger or new survivor Zarina Kassir. Instead all that's available is the Dead by Daylight Chapter 15 teaser that offers little more than the Chains of Hate logo.
Looking ahead, fans can expect Behaviour Interactive to continue supporting Dead by Daylight with new updates. Some of these updates may even include crossover content with existing horror franchises. In the past, we've seen Dead by Daylight feature Halloween DLC, a Stranger Things update, and much more, so it stands to reason that even more iconic horror villains could be on the way for the asymmetric multiplayer horror game.
Dead by Daylight is out now for PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One, with a mobile release also in development.
