Dead by Daylight Unveils Chapter 34: The Houndmaster and New Survivor Taurie Cain with also New MAP!

Dead by Daylight has officially revealed its upcoming Chapter 34, confirming many details that have been circulating on this website since early September. This chapter introduces a new killer known as The Houndmaster, a relentless bounty hunter accompanied by her loyal canine, adding a unique twist to the game’s roster. Alongside The Houndmaster, players will also meet a new survivor, Taurie Cain, and explore the ominous Ormond Lake Mine, although the map won’t be immediately available at launch due to ongoing internal testing.

The Killer: The Houndmaster

The Houndmaster is a bounty hunter with a mysterious and dark past. Equipped with her loyal dog, she brings a unique and menacing dynamic to Dead by Daylight’s gameplay. While specific details on her abilities remain under wraps, it’s anticipated that her partnership with her dog will play a pivotal role in tracking and cornering survivors, making her a challenging and engaging addition to the killer lineup. The inclusion of a canine ally sets her apart from previous killers, emphasizing themes of loyalty, brutality, and ruthless pursuit.

New Survivor: Taurie Cain

The survivor introduced in this chapter, Taurie Cain, is a compelling character with a shadowy background. A member of the Disciples of the Black Talon, Taurie hails from Glasgow, Scotland, and was raised within a cultic community. Her connection to the cult introduces a dark and mystical element to her character, which fans are eager to see incorporated into her backstory and perks. This new survivor’s skillset and perks remain a mystery for now, but her unique origin as a cult member hints at traits that could enhance her survival skills in the Fog.

Ormond Lake Mine Map

Though part of Chapter 34, the new map, Ormond Lake Mine, is an extension of Ormond Map, and is not slated for immediate release. Behaviour Interactive has stated that additional internal testing is required before the map can be added to the game, ensuring it meets quality standards and provides an optimal experience for players. The eerie mine setting promises to be a chilling and immersive backdrop, expanding on the atmospheric environments that Dead by Daylight is known for.

The announcement of Chapter 34 has fans excited, as it continues Behaviour Interactive’s trend of expanding Dead by Daylight’s lore-rich universe with innovative characters and settings. The inclusion of a bounty hunter killer with a canine companion and a cult member survivor from a new faction hints at deeper storylines and mechanics that could add new layers to the game’s evolving mythos. With more updates on the map and character abilities expected soon, Chapter 34 is poised to keep Dead by Daylight’s momentum strong heading into the coming year.

As Behaviour Interactive rolls out new details, players eagerly await the first chance to step into Ormond Lake Mine with The Houndmaster and Taurie Cain.

The chapter will be released on November 28, and this is the reveal trailer:
