In May 2021, Behaviour Interactive released aResident Evil-themed Chapter forDead by Daylightfeaturing Nemesis as a Killer and both Leon and Jill as Survivors. The Chapter proved a significant success, just likeDead by Daylight’s other collaboration Chapters likeSilent Hill,Scream, and several more. It’s unsurprising that, given the opportunity,Dead by Daylightis doing anotherResident EvilChapter in the near future. For those who don’t want to wait, it seems quite a bit of info, including the Killer and Survivors of this Chapter, have leaked early.
MultipleDead by Daylightleaks of unclear origin appear to be disseminated across social media featuring content from the upcomingResident EvilChapter DLC. The leaks include assets for the newResident EvilKiller and two Survivors. As assumed based on the initialDead by Daylight Resident Evilteaser, the Killer is none other than Wesker. The Survivors are Ada Wong and Rebecca Chambers.

The assets include normal and bloodied models for all threeResident Evilcharacters. Wesker is sporting his recognizable sunglasses and trenchcoat, and his weapon is a dagger. Ada Wong is in herResident Evil 2red dress. Rebecca Chambers has her tactical gear with a white bullet-proof vest, fingerless gloves, and a blood-red choker. Needless to say, forResident Evilfans, all three characters will appear inDead by Daylightin their most familiar forms.
As for more specific gameplay details, Wesker will be known inDead by Daylightas The Mastermind. Wesker’s personal Perks include Superior Anatomy, a vaulting speed-up triggered by a Survivor doing a fast vault, Awakened Awareness, which reveal auras of Survivors when carrying a Survivor, and Terminus, which tags Survivors with the Broken status effect after exit gates are powered. Ada Wong’s Perks are Wiretap, Reactive Healing, and Low Profile, while Rebecca Chambers' Perks are Better Than New, Reassurance, and Hyperfocus. The details for each Survivor Perk haven’t been finalized, and as such, aren’t available.
While a majority of the leak could easily have been faked by aDead by Daylight/Resident Evilfan with some time on their hands, what makes the leak persuasive is that it includes certain audio files. The audio includes chase music for Wesker. It’s suitably grandiose and should be terrifying forSurvivorsthat hear it.
Behaviour Interactive confirmed that a newResident EvilChapterforDead by Daylightwas in development in May, dubbed Project W. When the Chapter would arrive has yet to be announced, however. While these leaks may imply the Chapter could be arriving soon, it’s likely a way out yet as Behaviour continues to work on it.Dead by Daylightis rather notorious for leaking game info well ahead of its release. Expect more information in the weeks and months to come.
Dead by Daylightis available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
