Check out how we test and review games hereDead By Daylight is set to receive one more licensed killer before the end of Year 9 and the switch to Year 10. According to the Year 9 roadmap, this rogue will be part of a paragraph meaning they will come on their own similar to Alan Wake and Tomb Raider. While nothing is confirmed and wont be for awhile, leaks suggest the DBD killer for March is from a Japanese IP, but is not Kayako from The Grudge. Before the next licensed rogue arrives, Dead By Daylight fans have a lot to enjoy during March. The release date and start time for 2v8 mode 2.0 is imminent, and BeHaviour has revealed the full November 2024 roadmap. In addition, the launch of Chapter 34 has been brought forward slightly from December, and the PTB has revealed perks for The Houndmaster as well as Taurie Cain. While there is a slew of content to appreciate this month, many DBD fans cannot help but speculate over the final Year 9 licensed killer set to arrive in March. So far the biggest belief has been Kayako from The Grudge, but now theres another contender from a Japanese IP. Dead By Daylight leak points to another Japanese killer for March Dead By Daylight is set to receive its final Year 9 licensed killer in March. This is according to the Year 9 roadmap which reveals it is also a paragraph as the killer wont be accompanied by a survivor or map. So far the majority of the community has believed the killer is Kayako from The Grudge. Kayako has never been explicitly stated by leakers, but the belief stemmed from RuthlessLeaks claiming the killer is more popular in the East and was part of a movie that came out after the year 2000. In addition, the Ju-On series is celebrating its 25th anniversary next year, so the possibility of Kayako seemed to lineup.

Via the LeaksDBD subreddit, a message on the DBDLeaks Discord was posted before the channel was affected by hackers. The post on the DBDLeaks Discord said I want to let everyone know that I am not trolling when it comes to the March leak and that Chapter being Tokyo Ghoul. Image credit: DBDLeaks Discord via LeaksDBD subredditAs for what lends this leak some possible credibility, the message was posted before the reveal of Chapter 34, and it accurately revealed that The Chapter 34 killer is named The Houndmaster rather than The Hellion, as previously shared online. In addition to suggesting Tokyo Ghoul is the license for March, the message said The Grudge being March and Perfect Blue being the anime collab is fake. While a collaboration with Perfect Blue is seemingly not happening despite suggestions from Ruthless, the message said I do not know the anime collab so it appears one is still happening. This is all speculation rather than anything official so the killer could be from neither The Grudge or Tokyo Ghoul. However, if it is Tokyo Ghoul, it will be interesting to see who is selected as the rogue. Per comments on Reddit, the most likely candidate is Kaneki. BeHaviour has teased the next licensed killer is out of the box and a choice that will possibly be considered controversial amongst DBD players. In addition, while celebrating DBD Day, BeHaviour Interactive promised more Japanese IPs are coming to Dead By Daylight.
