Dead by Daylight: Castlevania Chapter Event

It’s difficult to think back to a time in gaming without Castlevania, one of the most iconic series from Konami Digital Entertainment‘s (Konami). First released in 1986 on the Famicom Disk System in Japan, then on the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1987 and going strong ever since, the Castlevania franchise boasts a legacy almost as enduring as that of its main villain. For many—those on the Dead by Daylight team included—the original Castlevania in all its 8-bit glory represented an early introduction to horror gaming. Countless titles, a hit animated series, and decades of intricate lore later, Castlevania continues to ascend the pantheon of horror with its arrival in Dead by Daylight. Dracula’s powers and those of his castle are inextricably linked, and The Entity has brought both into its realm. Any time Dracula is the featured Killer in a Trial with an Original Map, players will see the ominous castle looming over the proceedings, perched on the horizon of that Map. The powers it bestows upon its master are enough to make even the most grizzled Survivor’s blood run cold.
