Dead by Daylight fans may have stumbled upon the first concrete clues pointing to a Tokyo Ghoul collaboration arriving in March 2025. The hints lie within the All Things Wicked chapter, specifically tied to the killer The Unknown and the accompanying map, which have now revealed uncanny connections to content released after The Unknown’s debut in March 2024. These discoveries are sparking speculation and excitement within the community as players connect the dots to a possible Tokyo Ghoul chapter.
The Unknown’s Cryptic Phrases: Clues to Future Content?
One of the most intriguing findings comes from The Unknown’s voice lines. While these lines initially seemed ambiguous or atmospheric, they have proven to foreshadow content that came after The Unknown’s release. Some of the notable phrases include:
“Have you seen my dog?”
This clearly foreshadowed The Houndmaster, a killer released in November 2024, who uses a trained dog as part of their power.“I lived in dungeons long forgotten.”
A direct reference to Dungeons & Dragons, which brought Vecna into the Fog in June 2024.“Prepare for the expedition.”
A line that seemingly hints at the Tomb Raider chapter, likely tied to Lara Croft released in July 2024.“Hunger – Intolerable hunger!”
This phrase has fans buzzing as it aligns perfectly with Tokyo Ghoul. The iconic manga and anime feature ghouls who suffer from an insatiable hunger for human flesh. If true, it suggests that Tokyo Ghoul could make its way into Dead by Daylight in March 2025.- “Tonight. The World at my feet.”
This is a clear reference to the Tokyo Ghoul: RE soundtrack titled Invincible, where the final line is literally: “Just watch me and I’ll have the world at my feet.
Map Clues: Visual Hints at Upcoming Chapters
The map introduced in The Unknown’s chapter adds further fuel to the fire. Several visual elements act as references to content that would only arrive later:
-
Posters of Vampires and a Fake Hand:
These posters are clear nods to Castlevania, which launched as a collaboration in September 2024, featuring characters like Simon Belmont and Richter Belmont. One poster, titled “The Fake Hand”, directly hints at Vecna’s release in the Dungeons & Dragons chapter. -
Arcade Machines:
Inside the map, players can find arcade machines featuring characters resembling Richter and Simon Belmont. This solidifies the connection to Castlevania. -
“The Ghoul’s Lament” Poster:
Perhaps the most telling clue of all, this poster hints at a ghoul-themed addition, which could be a reference to Tokyo Ghoul. The name aligns thematically with the hunger-focused narrative and aesthetic of the manga.
Why Do These Clues Exist? BHVR’s Simultaneous Development
These hidden references make perfect sense given how Behaviour Interactive (BHVR) develops multiple chapters simultaneously. While working on The Unknown, BHVR was likely already deep into the development of the Dungeons & Dragons, Castlevania, and The Houndmaster chapters. As a result, small teasers and Easter eggs naturally found their way into the All Things Wicked chapter.
This development pipeline also lends credibility to the Tokyo Ghoul hints. If BHVR was already planning for a March 2025 release, it’s logical that they would embed subtle references within earlier content, much like they did with Vecna and Castlevania.
Dave Richard Confirms Hidden Content Teasers
Adding even more weight to this theory, Dave Richard, the Creative Director of Dead by Daylight, previously stated that the game contains hints about upcoming content. In hindsight, the clues within the Things Wicked chapter perfectly align with Richard’s statement. This deliberate inclusion of Easter eggs creates excitement among fans as they search for hidden connections, and it now seems that Tokyo Ghoul might be the next major collaboration.
What Could a Tokyo Ghoul Chapter Look Like?
While these are still rumors, the potential for a Tokyo Ghoul chapter is immense. Players could expect:
- A new Killer inspired by the Ghouls, perhaps Kaneki himself or another infamous ghoul character, wielding abilities tied to their kagune (tentacle-like appendages).
- A Survivor inspired by iconic characters like Touka Kirishima or Kaneki Ken before his transformation.
- A Tokyo Ghoul-themed map, such as the eerie streets of the 20th Ward or Anteiku café.
With all the clues hidden in The Unknown’s chapter and BHVR’s history of foreshadowing future collaborations, the likelihood of Tokyo Ghoul arriving in March 2025 seems higher than ever. The careful integration of these Easter eggs shows just how much thought BHVR puts into building excitement for their upcoming content. If the rumors hold true, Tokyo Ghoul fans will soon find themselves surviving—or hunting—in the Fog alongside their favorite characters.
