- CHAPTER XIII: Stranger Things and CHAPTER XX: Resident Evil added three Characters: a Killer and two Survivors.
- To date, there are four exceptions to this rule:

- CHAPTER 5.5: LEATHERFACE™ added a Killer.
- CHAPTER 3.5: Left Behind, CHAPTER 11.5: Ash vs Evil Dead and CHAPTER 21.5: Hour of the Witch added a Survivor.

There are also several non-available DLCs that were exclusive to certain Streamers, Events or give-aways.
Purchasing a DLC
With the implementation of the in-game Store, in Patch 2.0.0, Players can decide whether to buy a DLC with money on the platforms' respective Stores or with Iridescent Shards 
(only original Characters) or Auric Cells 
directly from the in-game Store.
Purchasing a DLC with money will unlock an additional cosmetic Customisation Option for the Characters contained in the DLC.
Earning enough Iridescent Shards to unlock an unlicensed DLC takes approximately 35 hours of active playtime on average.[1]
Licensed DLCs
Licensed Chapter DLCs are generally locked out from purchase with Iridescent Shards.

Trivia
- DLCs containing a Survivor and a Killer and adding a new Map to the Game are labelled as Chapters. DLCs containing just a Survivor OR Killer (up to CHAPTER XII) are labelled as Paragraphs.
- CHAPTER XII: Ghost Face® broke this rule and all new character DLCs are now referred to as Chapters.
- DLCs containing only Customisation options (now discontinued) were labelled as Clothing Packs.
- The Last Breath Chapter DLC, when originally launched, required the Player to manually install the DLC, this was changed so it is now pre-installed.
- When the Headcase DLC launched, it was wrongfully launched with 5 sets of exclusive DLC clothing. Those had been patched out shortly afterwards.
- All profits made from selling the Charity Case go to the Brain & Behaviour Research Foundation.
