The foggy realm of Dead by Daylight just got a whole lot louder and more wicked. In a move that blends horror with heavy metal, Behaviour Interactive has dropped a thunderous crossover with legendary band Iron Maiden, while simultaneously gearing up for the chilling arrival of Chapter 31: All Things Wicked. This one-two punch of content proves that even in 2026, nearly a decade after its debut, the asymmetrical horror titan continues to innovate and terrify with relentless energy.

🤘 The Iron Maiden Collection: Eddie Invades the Entity's Realm

Forget typical slasher villains; the latest terror comes straight from album covers. The newly released Iron Maiden Collection brings the band's iconic mascot, Eddie, into the fray through a series of Legendary Outfits for four formidable Killers:

Killer	Eddie-Inspired Outfit Theme
The Dredge	A grotesque, amalgamated Eddie
The Doctor	A nightmarish, electro-shock rendition
The Deathslinger	A wild-west, harpoon-wielding version
The Oni	A samurai-fied, demonic iteration

Each outfit is like a different vinyl record of horror, plucked from Iron Maiden's discography and remastered for the Trial Grounds. But the crossover isn't just for Killers. Survivors get in on the action with a set of Very Rare tour shirts. Behaviour has teased that a couple of these shirts hide a "little surprise," turning wardrobe collection into a scavenger hunt for Easter eggs. The collection is live right now, so fans can suit up and head into the fog in style.

And the metal infusion doesn't stop at cosmetics. Equip any item from the Iron Maiden Collection, and the match lobby will be scored by the band's haunting anthem, "Fear of the Dark." It’s a feature that transforms the pre-game tension into a backstage concert vibe, a brilliant fusion of atmospheric dread and rock spectacle.

🌀 Chapter 31: All Things Wicked - A New Original Horror Dawns

While Killers are rocking out as Eddie, a completely new terror is preparing to make its debut. Chapter 31: All Things Wicked launches on March 12, introducing a fresh wave of original content that promises to warp players' perceptions.

• The New Killer: The Unknown 🎭

  This entity is a psychological predator, using hallucinations and teleportation to disorient and hunt Survivors. Its design and mechanics suggest it could be one of the most mind-bending and intriguing original characters added to the roster to date, a phantom that operates like a glitch in reality itself.

• The New Survivor: Sable Ward 🧑

  A new face arrives with the strength to endure the new horrors. Sable Ward's perks and backstory will offer new strategies for survival against The Unknown's tricks.

• The New Map: Greenville Square 🏚️

  The chapter unveils a brand-new environment for trials. Details are scarce, but Greenville Square likely offers fresh loops, hiding spots, and a dark new aesthetic to learn and master.

🔮 The Future of The Fog

This explosive week of content is a clear signal: Dead by Daylight is not slowing down. The game's longevity is a testament to its evolving nature, constantly feeding its community with crossovers that break the mold—like trading movie icons for rock legends—and deep, original chapters that expand the lore. The Iron Maiden crossover is more than a skin pack; it's a cultural injection, a jolt of adrenaline that proves the game's world can absorb any flavor of nightmare. Meanwhile, Chapter 31 represents the core horror experience evolving in clever, terrifying ways.

For players, the path forward is clear: dive into the Iron Maiden Collection to hunt for those shirt secrets and unleash Eddie upon the realm, then steel your nerves for the psychological warfare that The Unknown will bring on March 12. The Entity's reach continues to grow, and in 2026, its playlist just got a whole lot heavier. The constant stream of content is like a well-tuned engine of dread, ensuring the fog never settles into predictability.
