Dead by Daylight Sadako Rising Chapter Release Date Revealed
By Nathan Fusco
Dead by Daylight Sadako Rising chapter has received a release date now that the new killer and survivor have hit the PTB. Set during a rank reset, Behaviour Interactive gave fans their first glimpse at the new killer and her three abilities. It's no surprise that one of them is a Scourge Hook, and new type of perk to counteract the Boon Totems for survivors.
The new killer was first teased in December of last year, giving the fans something to look forward to after the Lunar New Year celebration. While fans will be excited to play Sadako, fans will also get to enjoy a new survivor in Yoichi Asakawa. No new maps were introduced, but the developer is working on "new custom SFX intros to all maps."
