What is the next Dead by Daylight Chapter? New chapters arrive in Dead by Daylight every three months, and it can be difficult to keep up with the new characters, maps, and more. Luckily, these updates arrive on a fairly rigid schedule, so we can usually look forward to the next DBD chapter before we even know what it is.
With so much additional content, it’s incredible how Behaviour Interactive is able to come up with new perks and powers for the latest DBD killers and survivors. The last Dead by Daylight character to enter The Fog was the gruesomely gorgeous Houndmaster and her pet dog, Snug. Joining them was Taurie Cain, the first Scottish survivor in the horror game. Next, a licensed killer arrives alone, but who could it be? Here’s everything we know about the DBD Chapter 35 release date estimate, and what it could entail.
Next DBD chapter release date estimate
The next DBD Chapter release date is likely to be around March 6, 2025. This estimate is based on the official roadmap and the end date of the current Tome.
According to the official DBD roadmap from the eighth anniversary stream, seen below, we can expect a licensed killer to arrive in a killer-only Chapter in March 2025. While we don’t yet know who this is, there have been a few leaks and suspicions, including Tokyo Ghoul and Jurassic World.
To close down the next Chapter release date window, we can use the current Tome, Anguish. Ending 98 days from its release date of January 28, 2025, we can expect the next Chapter to release on or around March 6.

Upcoming Dead by Daylight chapters
The anniversary livestream gave us a glimpse at what we can expect from year nine in the horror game. While we’re most of the way through now, there is one licensed chapter still to come following Chapter 34, set to arrive sometime around March 2025. More game modes and modifiers, are also scheduled throughout the rest of the DBD year.
