Ken Kaneki from Tokyo Ghoul Joins Dead by Daylight

Dead by Daylight's ever-expanding roster of killers welcomes a new addition from the popular Tokyo Ghoul franchise in 2025. This exciting collaboration brings Ken Kaneki, the iconic ghoul, to the world of asymmetrical horror.

Before the full release, developers are currently testing and previewing this new content. Kaneki's gameplay is uniquely defined by his kagune, a horrifying appendage that serves not only as a powerful weapon but also as a means of traversal. He can use it to leap between surfaces, adding a dynamic and exciting mobility element to his terrifying abilities. This innovative approach faithfully captures Kaneki's signature moves from the Tokyo Ghoul anime and manga.

The addition of Ken Kaneki underscores Dead by Daylight's dedication to bringing beloved characters from diverse franchises into the game, offering players fresh and engaging gameplay experiences while remaining true to the source material. Fans of both Dead by Daylight and Tokyo Ghoul eagerly anticipate the full release of this thrilling crossover.
