Behaviour Interactive has launched Early Access for the much-anticipated chapter, Chorus of Sin, coming to Dead by Daylight. This time, the team is doing something a little bit different. Usually, creators get access to Early Access, but this time, things are a little bit different. No, Behaviour Interactive is giving players a chance to play in Early Access. There’s a twist, though!
Starting July 30, 2026, selected DBD creators will be streaming the new content from the Early Access build. Watch any selected DBD creator on Twitch with drops enabled for one hour to enter a contest and get the chance to be selected to join the Early Access.

More about Chorus of Sin
Chorus of Sin is a DLC created with the help and guidance of the Dead by Daylight community through a voting process that determined the character designs, theme, and title of this brand new chapter. Announced during DBD’s 10th anniversary, the killer coming to this chapter is titled The Judgement, a divine killer responsible for the destruction of its world. The survivor of this chapter is Aurora Stardotter, one of the occupants of The Judgement’s world prior to its destruction.
What exactly is Dead by Daylight?
For those new to this behemoth of horror gaming, Dead by Daylight, developed by Behaviour Interactive, is an asymmetrical multiplayer experience that pits survivors against a killer. In the game, you are trapped forever in a realm of cosmic evil by The Entity, and play as either one of four determined Survivors or the bloodthirsty Killer hunting them. It’s a cool twist to the Slasher genre.
Initially released in 2016, this asymmetrical horror game has continuously expanded its roster of characters to include countless iconic horror properties from film, television, gaming, and beyond. From its large community to the multitude of character options to choose from, jumping into new games doesn’t require as much catching up as you might think.
When will Dead by Daylight: Chorus of Sin be available to play?
Dead by Daylight’s Chorus of Sin Chapter officially launches across all available platforms on Tuesday, August 25, 2026. The full PTB on Steam will go live to all PC players on August 4, 2026. Learn more about that here.
