As I write in recent days, the December 2024 killer in Dead by Daylight will be a female bounty hunter accompanied by her faithful dog. This exciting news is confirmed thanks to a leaked image, revealing the look of this new killer. The December chapter is generating a lot of buzz, but that’s not all—additional leaks have also confirmed the March 2025 chapter, which is rumored to be a collaboration with The Grudge, as I mentioned a few weeks ago.
The leaks don’t stop there. Information has surfaced about Dead by Daylight chapters all the way up to March 2026. Here’s what we know so far:
- April 2025: A survivor based on a lawyer, an intriguing and original concept.
- June 2025: A highly anticipated Five Nights at Freddy’s chapter.
- September 2025: Another licensed killer, details still under wraps.
- October 2025: A licensed survivor joining the roster.
- December 2025: An original chapter, though no specific details have been leaked yet.
- March 2026: A full licensed chapter, with speculation rampant about which IP it could tie into.

The Grudge Chapter in March 2025
The March 2025 collaboration with The Grudge has Dead by Daylight fans especially excited. The Grudge franchise is based on the Japanese horror film Ju-On, which was first released in 2000. The film centers around a curse that is born when someone dies in a state of extreme rage or sorrow. This curse haunts anyone who comes into contact with it, creating a never-ending cycle of terror.
In The Grudge, the curse is primarily represented by the ghostly figure of Kayako Saeki, a tragic and terrifying presence who relentlessly haunts her victims. Kayako is often accompanied by eerie creaks and groans, and her twisted, crawling figure has become an iconic symbol of Japanese horror. The 2004 American adaptation of Ju-On, titled The Grudge, helped bring the story to international audiences, cementing Kayako’s place as one of the most memorable horror antagonists in cinema.
What This Means for Dead by Daylight
If the leaks are accurate, Kayako from The Grudge will be the March 2025 killer in Dead by Daylight, marking another major crossover with a famous horror franchise. This chapter would follow in the footsteps of other successful collaborations like Ringu (which brought Sadako to the game), allowing Dead by Daylight to further tap into classic Japanese horror.
With these leaks, it’s clear that Dead by Daylight has an ambitious roadmap for the coming years. The inclusion of high-profile licensed killers and survivors, along with original content, ensures that the game will continue to thrive and offer fresh, thrilling experiences for its dedicated player base.
Fans are eagerly waiting for official confirmation of these leaks, but if they hold true, 2025 and 2026 will be huge years for Dead by Daylight!
