A few months ago Behaviour Interactive finally found a way to vary the gameplay of Dead by Daylight, which was released nearly 10 years ago in 2016.
What has been decided to do in fact is the creation of slight variations to the gameplay called 'Modifiers,' which are limited-time events in which there are certain things that are changed from the normal gameplay mode.
What has been decided to do in fact is the creation of slight variations to the gameplay called 'Modifiers,' which are limited-time events in which there are certain things that are changed from the normal gameplay mode.
For example with the release of Alan Wake there was the first modifier, called Lights Out and which involved lowering the brightness of the game almost to a minimum, and removing perks, add-ons, and most maps (it was only playable on 4 maps in fact). Not only that, in fact, blood trails were also being reduced as well as the tracks left behind when a survivor runs.
The Team said that Lights Out was only an experiment (which in fact lasted only 7 days) and that more modifiers would be released during the year.
And in fact just yesterday a screen was leaked due to Xbox showing the new modifier with the name and related graphics:

It will be called Chaos Shuffle and should refer to perks, probably something about the fact that survivors and killers will spawn on the map with randomly chosen perks.
And it was then also confirmed by Behaviour Interactive with a post on socials:

New information about this event arrived today including dates and what will be changed in terms of gameplay.
Regarding the dates, the event will run from May 2 to May 9 and as expected by many, it will simply be about the random choice of perks:
The rewards for this modifier will be linked to an event tome where you can get a badge, a banner, and a charm:
In addition, the game size for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S has been changed, in fact it has been reduced to 20gb for both consoles:

Moreover, as voted by Dead by Daylight's Japanese Twitter community, the Tanuki, a kind of Japanese raccoon dog, will be added to the Yamaoka Estate map, and if you encounter it a score event will be triggered:
