Behaviour Interactive Squashes Rumour Regarding Leatherface Leaving ‘Dead by Daylight’
Those of you fearing that everyone’s favourite chainsaw-wielding cannibal in Leatherface would be leaving Dead by Daylight over the next couple of months can rest easy. Developer Behaviour Interactive has responded to the rumour, saying that Leatherface is sticking around.
A member of Behaviour Interactive’s PR team issued the following statement regarding the rumour that Leatherface would be leaving Dead by Daylight within the next few months:
“I am glad to share with you that The Cannibal is indeed staying a part of the Dead by Daylight Experience. He’s hooked on us! See you in The Fog!”
The rumour over Leatherface’s departure was sparked by Twitter fan accounts that had been looking over Dead by Daylight‘s code from the recent Public Test Build. The fan accounts had noticed changes in Leatherface’s Perk strings that gave the impression that the development team was prepping for the license for Leatherface to expire. Coupled with the fact fans had previously experienced disappointment with Stranger Things content leaving Dead by Daylight, and with Gun Interactive’s asymmetrical horror game The Texas Chain Saw Massacre is set to be released later this year, and fans were obviously concerned.
Meanwhile, Dead by Daylight is currently in the midst of their Lunar New Year event known as Moonlight Burrow, which sees the return of Red Envelopes, the arrival of Paper Lanterns, and several Outfits to unlock. The event kicks off today and lasts until January 24th.
The Dead by Daylight is currently available on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.

Developer Harebrained Scheme gave those eager to check out their upcoming survival horror RPG GRAFT some much-welcomed meat in the form of a new story trailer. The trailer not only touches on the body horror aspect of the game, but also the relationship you share with someone you care about, and the potential consequences you face on your journey through structure known as The Arc.
Currently in development for release on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store, GRAFT sees you attempting to escape the aforementioned rotting space station. The Arc is a continent-sized station that was once filled with biomechanically enhanced citizens, all working toward some greater purpose lost to time. Now the station is in ruins, its citizens now unrecognizable. And you have no idea how you got here.
In order to escape, you must tear pieces from your enemies to transform yourself into something new—something capable of surviving the horrors that prowl around you. Every Graft brings with it some piece of its previous owner’s identity, changing more than just your physical body.
However, you are not the only survivor in the desolation. Ancient feral experiments, strange abominations, and ruthless agents of a mad AI stalk you. You must use the tools in your growing arsenal as you fight through the horrors in a visceral new twist on classic survival horror combat. Know when to fight, and manage your resources carefully in order to escape alive.
