Dead By Daylight players have a lot to look forward to in the very near future. Right now, players can get over one million Bloodpoints as part of an apology from BeHaviour in addition to the April 2025 codes, meanwhile, a PTB starring a new survivor is on the cusp of coming out. A new survivor is very exciting, especially as BeHaviour just recently added a new DBD killer in Ken Kaneki. Unfortunately, Ken Kaneki has caused a raucous within the community, and BeHaviour has confirmed they have “tweaks” ready for the killer that is making people “quit” Dead By Daylight
Dead By Daylight devs have “tweaks” ready for killer
There has been a lot of uproar within the Dead By Daylight community since the arrival of Ken Kaneki. A lot of players are claiming that the Tokyo Ghoul killer is way too OP, and there are numerous posts on socials asking for him to be nerfed.
There’s even a thread on Reddit saying that, after many years, “Playing against Kaneki is making me quit dbd”. Fortunately, BeHaviour is aware of the disgruntlement within the playerbase, and changes are coming.
As stated by Mandy on the BeHaviour Interactive forums, as shared in a screenshot on Reddit, the developer is “looking at adjustments to The Ghoul”. Mandy said “HF1 is too soon to get any proper changes in as we do like to give things a little bit of time on the Live game for players to adapt,” however, “Our Designers already have a few tweaks that can be made for the next hotfix to have the character more in-line of what we expect”.

We don’t know what these tweaks involve, but they will presumably be nerfs. While we will have to wait for these tweaks to arrive, BeHaviour has shared the following changes in update 8.6.1:
The camera no longer zooms on the Survivor’s torso at the end of The Ghoul’s Mori animation.
Using The Ghoul’s Special Ability no longer disables the FOV Slider’s functionalities for the remainder of the Trial.
The reticle of the Kagune Leap no longer displays a collision where Survivors are downed for The Ghoul.
The Aura is no longer visible on part of the tentacles when The Ghoul performs the second Kagune Leap while having their aura revealed.
Hopefully the “tweaks” ready for the “next hotfix” will significantly improve the balance of Ken Kaneki. He is a great addition to the game’s roster purely as a recognizeable character from a beloved IP, but, right now, he is an absolute menace to survivors.
