In the ever-shifting landscape of The Fog, where hope is a flickering candle in an endless storm, a new terror takes shape. Behaviour Interactive, the mastermind behind the decade-defining asymmetrical horror spectacle Dead by Daylight, has once again reached into the void to pull forth a fresh nightmare. The announcement of Chapter 31, 'All Things Wicked', sends a palpable shiver through the community, a promise of mysteries yet to be unraveled and fears yet to be faced. As the game approaches its tenth year reigning supreme in the asymmetric multiplayer arena, this new chapter is not merely an update; it is a dark incantation, a whispered secret from a quaint town with a history written in shadow.

The heart of this new dread is a being known only as The Unknown. Shrouded in enigma, this creature is the stuff of campfire stories gone horribly right. It's not just about raw power; it's about psychological warfare, baby. Armed with a deadly toxin, The Unknown doesn't just hunt Survivors—it rewrites their reality. Victims are plunged into a waking nightmare, hallucinating spectral "husks" of the Killer that flicker at the edge of vision. The true genius, the real mind-game, is its unique ability to swap places with any of these husks at will. One moment you're catching your breath behind a generator, the next, the empty apparition staring you down has become flesh, bone, and malice. It introduces a layer of unpredictability that’s off the charts, making every match a paranoid scramble where trust in your own eyes is the first casualty.

Standing against this amorphous horror is the new Survivor, Sable Ward. She is no random victim plucked from time; her roots are deep in the very soil of this new terror. A resident of Greenville, the town that serves as the backdrop for the new map, Sable's journey into The Fog is deeply personal. Her best friend, the enigmatic Mikaela Reid, has vanished without a trace. Refusing to accept the silence, Sable’s investigation into the disappearance becomes a one-way ticket into the Entity's realm. Her story is a poignant thread of loyalty and desperation in a tapestry woven with pure fear.

And what a tapestry it is. The new realm, Greenville Square, is a masterclass in atmospheric dread. It presents the picture-perfect image of a quaint small town—complete with a charming movie theater and a buzzing arcade—but it’s all a beautiful lie. Beneath the nostalgic veneer lurks a sinister, deadly history. Players will navigate this space, where the cheerful marquee of the cinema might cast long shadows hiding unspeakable things, and the echoing bleeps and bloops of the arcade could mask the approach of something... Unknown. It’s the classic American dream turned inside out, a locale that feels both comforting and profoundly wrong.

This chapter, arriving March 12, 2024, builds on an incredible momentum. It follows the wildly inventive Chucky Chapter, which brought the Good Guy doll to life in a brilliantly twisted way, and the recent Alan Wake crossover that painted The Fog with the eerie light of Cauldron Lake. Behaviour Interactive clearly isn't resting on its laurels; they've got more tricks up their sleeve, and the community is here for it. The PTB (Public Test Build) is already live on Steam, letting the bravest players step into Greenville's square and face The Unknown head-on.

So, what does it all mean? 'All Things Wicked' is more than a new killer and a new map. It's a testament to the game's enduring power to evolve and terrify. It blends original storytelling with gameplay that keeps everyone on their toes. For veterans, it's a new puzzle to solve. For newcomers, it's a fresh hell to explore. The Unknown represents the fear of what we cannot define, Sable Ward the courage to search for truth in the dark, and Greenville Square the haunting reminder that evil often wears a friendly face. As March 12th draws near, one thing is certain: in The Fog, the only thing scarier than a known monster is The Unknown.
