The Hallowed Blight Event Returns to ‘Dead By Daylight’ October 22nd, Along With New Features
Developer Behavior Interactive has announced some major changes and additions to their asymmetrical survival horror game, Dead By Daylight. In addition to the return of the Withering Blight Event for Halloween, the devs have announced that the game will be getting its own battle pass in the form of The Rift. The Rift will let players complete challenges in order to obtain the new wave of cosmetics coming in the upcoming mid-chapter update.
Featuring 70 tiers of limited time cosmetics and rewards, The Rift offers both a free and premium path. Every player has access to the free path, whilst the premium Rift Pass must be purchased for 1000 Auric Cells, which equate to roughly $10. Each Rift will be available for 70 days, which should be enough time for players to collect all 1000 Auric Cell rewards available on the pass. Furthermore, players also have the ability to purchase tiers on the pass by spending 100 Auric Cells per tier.
Rift Fragments is a new currency that is used to progress through The Rift, and can be earned by completing challenges in The Tome. Like The Rift, The Tome is a new addition to the game which includes a series of challenges that can be completed for bloodpoints and Rift Fragments.
The Withering Blight event runs from October 22nd – November 1st.
