Dead by Daylight 6th Anniversary in-game celebrations

Last Updated: May 18th, 2022

To celebrate the sixth anniversary of Dead by Daylight, Behaviour are throwing a Twisted Masquerade Ball, celebrating the Entity, The Dredge and Haddie Kaur, as well as other killers and survivors. The event will feature a bunch of in-game freebies – such as Bloodpoints, Iridescent Shards and cosmetic items, as well as a new event Tome and even some global community challenges.

Here, we’re going to run through everything you can expect from the Dead by Daylight anniversary event 2022, Twisted Masquerade.

Twisted Masquerade – Dead by Daylight’s 6th Anniversary event

Twisted Masquerade map makeover

The Killer shack, exit gates and more are being reskinned for the event, with some interesting effects coming into play across whole maps. Expect lots of hints of luxurious royal blue and gold, with streamers, banners, fairy lights and balloons turning The Fog into a pretty party destination.

New event-themed character cosmetics

If you’re not dressed the part, you’re not coming in.

Like last year’s pedestal hunt, you’ll still be searching for pedestals across the map, this time collecting invitations to the Masquerade ball. Collecting up these invitations will unlock one of 12 unique masquerade masks – six for Survivors, and six for Killers. And, rather than last year’s generic crowns, this year’s anniversary cosmetics will be character-specific this year. Finally, each will be allocated randomly, regardless of the character you’re playing with.

Sadly, not every character is getting an anniversary cosmetic this year, with only some DBD originals getting invited. Even worse, most of them are paid-for characters if you’re a Steam player. Hopefully, with a boost to Iridescent Shards during the event, you’ll be able to collect enough for a new character or two. That said, the characters with collectable DBD Twisted Masquerade cosmetics are as follows:

• The Artist
• Deathslinger
• The Huntress
• The Spirit
• The Trapper
• The Trickster
• Ace Visconti
• Elodie Rakoto
• Dwight Fairfield
• Jane Romero
• Michaela Reid
• Yui Kumura

Limited-time Event Tome

In a new, event-themed Tome, there will be two levels of challenges and lore tied to the Twisted Masquerade. And, on top of the usual individual challenges, there will also be a range of global community challenges. You’ll be able to track the global progression of everyone around the world, as well as your own direct contributions, which are important to redeeming rewards – there’s no riding on everyone’s else’s coattails, here.

Once the event goes live, we’ll bring you a rundown of all the global challenges, and what you’ll need to do to complete them.

Haddie Kaur and The Dredge join the party

With the new Chapter 24 Survivor and Killer Haddie Kaur and The Dredge being added to the game just a week before, the new arrivals are the Twisted Masquerade’s guests of honor. Instead of the elegant masks other characters will have, each of these two will have their own full event-themed outfits to unlock. Each outfit will be fully unlockable only by completing both personal challenges, and community challenges, so you’re encouraged to participate in everything.

Daily, discounted Shrine of Secrets

The Shrine of Secrets is getting a change of pace to celebrate the DBD anniversary, so it might be wise to hold off in the meantime and save those Shards. Instead of rotating weekly, through the Twisted Masquerade event, the Shrine will be rotating daily. Not only that, but each Perk will be discounted, too, so there’ll be no better time to check the Shrine and get those rare, game-changing Perks. However, tread carefully, as close to 40 Perks will be overhauled in an upcoming balance change.

Weekend Blood Hunt event

Of course, the Blood Hunt will be back for the DBD Twisted Masquerade celebrations. Make the most of stackable double Bloodpoints, and utilise BP Offerings to really max out your trial earnings.

Daily DBD login bonuses

Finally, because we’re particularly greedy around anniversary time and even all that isn’t enough, there will be a bunch of login bonuses throughout the event. And these aren’t limited to Bloodpoints, either. Rift Fragments and Iridescent Shards will also be gifted out throughout the event, just for logging into the game – so be sure to check in daily.

When is The Twisted Masquerade event coming to Dead by Daylight?

The DBD Anniversary event, Twisted Masquerade, will be coming to Dead by Daylight starting June 16, 2022, the actual anniversary of the game.
