Dead by Daylight has dominated the asymmetric game genre since its debut in 2016. Since then, many chapters have been released that add new killers, survivors, and maps. But how do they stack up against one another?

Best Dead by Daylight Chapters

23. Hour of the Witch Chapter

A chapter consisting of a single survivor that has polarized the community thanks to her perks? Hour of the Witch and Mikaela have landed flat on their faces with the community.

22. Of Flesh and Mud Chapter

Two of the more lackluster additions to the game were the Hag and Ace Visconti. Throw in a terrible map like Backwater Swamp, and this is one chapter best left forgotten.

21. Descend Beyond Chapter

Descend Beyond brought a unique killer and overly handsome survivor to the Fog. The Blight mixes chemicals and horror like a master. Felix Richter was the architect of his own demise as he searched for answers best left unknown.

20. Demise of the Faithful Chapter

In a chapter where the survivor proved to be more of a fan favorite than the killer, Jane Romero brought the Plague and the Temple of Purgation to Dead by Daylight.

19. All-Kill Chapter

In a stark departure from the rest of the series, the Trickster and his producer Yun-Jin Lee bring a splash of color to the otherwise grim setting of Dead by Daylight.

18. A Nightmare on Elm Street

Yet another iconic killer joins Dead by Daylight’s roster. But unfortunately, Freddy Krueger was and continues to be lackluster. Dream warrior Quentin Smith guides fellow survivors through the Badham Preschool map in an effort to evade the dreamy killer.

17. Portrait of a Murder Chapter

Guy Fieri inspired survivor Jonah Vasquez hunts down the Artist in the Eyrie of Crows map. Who is the real victim in this one? The jury is still out.

16. The Last Breath Chapter

Much like the Spirit, the Nurse’s level of terror is directly correlated to the player’s skill level. She’s either terrible or terrifying; there is no in-between. Nea, another popular survivor pick, runs for her life on the Asylum map.

15. Cursed Legacy Chapter

The Oni is one of the more terrifying killers in Dead by Daylight thanks to his imposing presence and penchant for screaming. Fashionista Yui Kimura finds herself in the Sanctum of Wrath map alongside the other unfortunates in the Fog.

14. Shattered Bloodline Chapter

Love her or hate her, the Spirit is one of the most polarizing killers in the game. In the hands of a novice, she’s laughable. In the hands of a pro, she’s terrifying. Joining him is survivor Adam Francis as the two scramble across the Family Residence map.

13. Sadako Rising Chapter

Despite being a new killer, the Onryo has captured the hearts of players everywhere. Survivor Yoichi Asakawa joins her in this terrifying chapter.

12. Hellraiser Chapter

We opened the box, and he came. Pinhead drummed up all manner of discomfort and excitement with his inclusion.

11. Spark of Madness Chapter

A maniacal killer with a penchant for injecting humor into hunts, The Doctor is an explosive killer with the ability to apply real pressure to survivors. Joining him is Feng Min, who might be Dead by Daylight’s most popular survivor. The duo brought Lery Memorial Institute, a wonderfully unique map, to the Fog.

10. A Binding of Kin Chapter

The Twins are some of the most unique killers to grace Dead by Daylight. New survivor, Elodie Rakoto, joined the gruesome twosome in the Fog.

9. Darkness Among Us Chapter

The Legion, four murderous teens, and survivor Jeff Johansen brought their haunt of the Mount Ormand Resort to Dead by Daylight in this chapter. A unique map, a highly popular killer, and another survivor: what’s not to love?

8. A Lullaby for the Dark Chapter

Easily one of Dead by Daylight’s most popular killers, the Huntress, began to stalk the Fog in this chapter. Hunky survivor David King also made his debut as the two played hide-and-seek in the Red Forest: Mother’s Dwelling map.

7. Curtain Call Chapter

The PTB’s favorite killer, the Clown, made his horrific debut in Curtain Call. Joining him was the equally popular Kate Denson. Unfortunately for Kate, her final moments in Campbell’s Chapel would be played out for eternity.

6. Chains of Hate Chapter

Chains of Hate took Dead by Daylight to the wild west. The ever-popular Deathslinger brought survivor Zarina Kassier and his haunt, the Dead Dawg Saloon, to the Fog.

5. Stranger Things Chapter

Unfortunately no longer available, the Stranger Things chapter was an incredibly popular collaboration for the asymmetric horror title. Steve Harrington, Nancy Wheeler, the Demogorgon, and Hawkins National Laboratory were added for an all too brief a time.

4. The Saw Chapter

Another popular killer (for snoot-booping reasons) was added in the Saw chapter. The Pig, David Tapp, and the Gideon Meat Plant found themselves transported to the Fog.

3. The Halloween Chapter

The Shape (Michael Myers) is arguably one of the most popular killers within Dead by Daylight. Joining him were Laurie Strode and the Haddonfield map.

2. Resident Evil Chapter

One of the most exciting reveals was that Resident Evil would be coming to the torturous world of Dead by Daylight. This meaty chapter included Nemesis, Leon S. Kennedy/Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine/Claire Redfield, and the iconic RPD Station map.

1. Silent Hill Chapter

The pinnacle of chapters graced players with the Executioner (Pyramid Head), Cheryl Mason, and the Midwich Elementary School map.
