Here is what you can expect from Art the Clown and Sienna Shaw when you play Dead by Daylight: Terrifier.
Art the Clown and his Perks
Here are The Terrifier’s three Perks that will help spark joy in his little killer heart:
- Funny Business – This Perk grants a random effect in addition to a temporary haste buff whenever you damage a Generator. These effects can be as helpful as blocking Generators or as wacky as a burst of confetti.
- Kill Spree – The Perk that delivers a killer ending with a bloody massacre. This perk lets Art unlock the ability to kill remaining Survivors when they have all reached 2 Hook States and all Generators have been completed.
- Laughingstock – Make a fool out of any remaining Survivors after working oh-so-hard. This Perk makes Survivors near-completed Generators Exhausted and Oblivious.
Sienna Shaw and her Perks
Sienna Shaw braves The Fog with three character-specific Perks.
Best Gift Ever – Drop the things that are holding you back. This Perk lets you drop items to gain powerful passive abilities.
Shared Trauma – Spread the wealth to help out your other Survivors. Whenever you take a protection hit, this Perk allows all Survivors within 12m to recover from the Exhausted status while running
Valkyrie’s Rage – Turn the tables on the Killer with this. After being chased by the Killer, this Perk lets you turn the tables by unleashing an extra-powerful pallet stun.
Finally, the Mall Map has arrived!
Announced as one of the maps coming to Dead by Daylight, The Hartshorne Mall marks the perfect map for a killer showdown between Art the Clown and Sienna Shaw. Answering the requests from fans to explore further into liminal spaces, The Hartshorne Mall taps into that realm in its design, giving an otherworldly sense that is both nostalgic and spine-tingling all in one package. And for those who have been missing the malls of our youth, well, prepare for those memories to get splattered in blood.
Can you play Dead by Daylight: Terrifier now?
Dead by Daylight: Terrifier is currently available as part of the Steam Public Test Build (PTB), and will officially release on November 24, 2026.
What 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.
Teased at the very end of the 10th anniversary celebration, Dead by Daylight: Terrifier brings the terrifying clown to life in a whole new way. Live your best unhinged Art the Clown fantasies in this latest chapter this November.
