Dead By Daylight: New Chapter Based On The Ring Releasing This March

Dead by Daylight just released its original story chapter, Portrait of a Murder, two weeks ago, but it seems Behaviour Interactive is already hard at work on what’s next for the asymmetrical horror game: Ringu. 

Hideo Nagata released Ringu in Japan in 1998. It was then remade in The Ring in the West in 2000 by Gore Verbinski. He would also direct three Pirates of the Caribbean films for Disney (weird director jump right?). Already a famous horror icon in Japan, Verbinski’s take further solidified the story of The Ring (and Ringu) as a classic in the genre. Now we’re all scared of videotapes, wells, and scary people emerging out of television screens. Behaviour Interactive will rekindle those fears in its latest chapter due to be out March 20, 2022. 

“A key piece of horror history is joining Dead By Daylight’s expansive roster,” the announcement reads. “Prepare for Ringu to spread its curse across The Fog, with a new chapter inspired by Koji Suzuki’s novel and the original acclaimed film adaptation. Koji Suzuki’s Ring, originally published in 1991, began the haunting story of a spreading curse and its doomed victims. In 1998, the novel was adapted into a Japanese feature film of the same name (widely known as Ringu to North American audiences) instantly adding a new presence into the pantheon of cinematic horror icons.”

If you’re unfamiliar with the premise of The Ring or Ringu, it centers around a videotape that tells viewers they’ll die in seven days. A vengeful spirit emerges out of a TV, and it’s likely that said vengeful spirit – you know, the girl wearing a white dress with black hair – will be the killer players stalk around a well with in Dead By Daylight next March. 

“We are very excited for the collaboration with Behaviour Interactive and the Dead by Daylight team,” Kadokawa producer Reiko Imayasu says in the announcement. “We’ll be sending one of our most haunting characters to the Fog to pour down horrors that will rival all the great predecessors.”

Behaviour Interactive warns that this Dead by Daylight chapter may take players longer than seven days. You can read the Portrait of a Murder chapter, then watch its trailer while you wait.
