CHAPTER 5: A Lullaby for the Dark was the fifth Chapter DLC introduced to Dead by Daylight, released 27 July 2017.


This DLC features the following content:


Free Chapter

As a thank you to the Community for supporting Dead by Daylight throughout its first release year, as well as a surprise reward for completing all Community Challenges during the 1 Year Anniversary, the Developers made the Chapter available free of charge.

Nowadays, it is considered part of the Base Game content and added automatically.

This marked the last time a Chapter DLC was added free of charge like this, since all original Character are purchasable with Iridescent ShardsIconCurrency iridescentShards these days, which are a free currency obtained through playtime.


Description

A Lullaby for the Dark is a free Chapter for Dead by Daylight. Welcome to the other side of Mother Nature. A disturbing side where survival surpasses cannibalism and ends up in solitude. The Huntress will never miss her mark, she will track you, capture you and kill you. Hopefully a former rugby star might bring her down...if he doesn’t get lost in the Red Forest.

Forest of the damned

Survival is all. There are no limits to what one abandoned child will do to make it through the day, year after year after year. Meat holds no face when it’s placed above a fire to be cooked. All she seeks is shelter and a long-lost mother that nature took away. Her simple cottage is all that is left - a mad girl’s paradise in a forsaken forest. Might Mr. King stand a chance against the forces of nature...once it unleashes The Huntress? A Lullaby for the Dark is a new Chapter for Dead by Daylight. It includes a new Killer, a Survivor and a Map.


Killer: The Huntress

The Huntress' Info

BE charSelect portrait

How far will you go for something as simple as another breath? What will you do to still your hunger? Anna didn’t start out as the Huntress, it was the need to feed and the cold that formed her, that shaped her future self. Flesh is flesh, no matter which body it stems from. Survival quickly becomes all, as you lose those who made sure you were safe and you are left alone in a hellish forest. The Huntress was moulded into something broken, into someone who simply misses her mother and is now left with nothing but an axe and a hatchet.

Survivor: David King

David's Info

DK charSelect portrait

Rookie of the Year

David King is not unique. Not unique when it comes to talent being destroyed by anger. Strength and speed was easy for David. He took up rugby to let out some steam. He had a knack for it. Quickly he rose to fame and people saw a grand career on the rise. But being fueled by rage instead of something positive will thwart yourself. So alcohol and bar fights became his life instead. Still trying to focus internal anger...somewhere. Soon a whole career was gone. But David kept fighting. Illegally and without protection. Friends saw less and less of him, and one day he was gone. He still holds an athletic body and a lot of anger. But now he’s facing something he’s never fought before - something that won’t die.

David King comes with 3 new Perks, designed to go right up into the Killer's face.
