Spring into March: Dead by Daylight’s Exciting Roadmap
At the beginning of every month, the Dead by Daylight (DBD) developers at Behaviour Interactive provide a detailed roadmap, outlining the key in-game events and updates for the upcoming season. This spring roadmap, which covers all four weeks of March, promises to be a thrilling month for players, filled with various events, skin sales, and the highly anticipated return of a fan-favorite game mode. The roadmap was shared on the game’s official X (formerly Twitter) account with the enigmatic caption, “Spring into March and march into Spring.” This cryptic message has left many fans speculating about its meaning, with some even wondering if it hints at the inclusion of Springtrap, a character from the Five Nights at Freddy’s universe. However, it’s important to note that while a collaboration with FNAF is scheduled, it’s expected to take place during the summer update, so this caption likely refers to something else.
Mysterious PTB and Upcoming Chapter Reveal
The most intriguing and eagerly awaited aspect of this roadmap is the Public Test Build (PTB) scheduled to begin on March 11. The PTB is a crucial phase in DBD’s development cycle, allowing players to try out new features and characters before their official release. This means that a chapter reveal, detailing the new Survivor or Killer, will be announced before March 11. Looking back at the Year 9 roadmap, which was shared last year, a licensed Killer is slated for release in March. However, given that this roadmap was created over a year ago, unforeseen delays or complications may have altered the release schedule. The developers are currently working on an update to health states, which could be tested during this PTB cycle. While the identity of the upcoming Killer remains a mystery, the community is abuzz with speculation, with many fans hoping for a collaboration with the popular anime Tokyo Ghoul. The prospect of adding the show’s protagonist, Kaneki, as a Killer is a particularly exciting idea, though it remains purely speculative at this time.
Return of Chaos Shuffle and Double Bloodpoints
One of the most anticipated events in the March roadmap is the return of Chaos Shuffle on March 18. Chaos Shuffle is a fan-favorite game mode that adds an element of unpredictability to matches by randomly selecting four perks for players. This adds a new layer of excitement and challenge, as players must adapt to the perks they are given. To further enhance the experience, a Bloodhunt event will run concurrently with Chaos Shuffle from March 18 to the end of the month. During this period, players will earn double Bloodpoints, making it an excellent opportunity for those looking to boost their in-game currency and unlock new cosmetics or characters.
Skin Sales and Outfits From the Rift
March is set to be a generous month for DBD players, with a series of skin sales and the return of Outfits From the Rift. The “Fearless Legends” sale, starting on March 24, is a new and exciting addition to the game’s events. While the specific cosmetics included in this sale are yet to be revealed, players can look forward to significant discounts, with prices reduced by up to 30 percent. This sale offers a great chance to add some rare and highly sought-after skins to your collection. Additionally, there are three Outfits From the Rift events scheduled throughout the first three weeks of March. These events bring back old battle pass cosmetics, typically a year after the battle pass was originally released, giving players another opportunity to acquire these coveted outfits.
Collaborative Skins and Community Speculation
The March roadmap also hints at a potential collaboration with the Japanese company Tadaima Japan, with a skin collaboration set to be released on March 12. This collaboration adds another layer of intrigue to the month, as fans speculate about the nature of the skins and the characters they might feature. The community is particularly excited about the possibility of a crossover with the popular anime Tokyo Ghoul. The idea of Kaneki, the show’s protagonist, being added as a Killer is a thrilling prospect, and while it remains speculative, it has sparked a lot of discussion and enthusiasm among fans. This potential collaboration could bring a new dimension to the game, enriching the roster of characters and offering unique and thematic cosmetics.
A Month to Remember
In summary, March is shaping up to be a thrilling and eventful month for Dead by Daylight players. The roadmap reveals a mix of exciting events, including a mysterious PTB, the return of Chaos Shuffle, and various skin sales. The community is buzzing with speculation and anticipation, making it a month to watch closely. Whether it’s the potential addition of a new Killer, the return of beloved game modes, or the opportunity to acquire rare cosmetics, there is something for everyone in the March roadmap. So, gear up, Dead by Daylight fans, and get ready to dive into a month of thrilling horror and surprises.
