In-Game Events

This page lists the various recurring In-Game Events featured throughout the year in Dead by Daylight.

Overview

There are two types of Events in Dead by Daylight:

Seasonal Events

Seasonal Events are the major Events in Dead by Daylight.

They generally occur once every year and last for 2 to 3 weeks.

They are accompanied by themed Title and Loading Screens, Lobbies, Props, and Cosmetics and often unlock previous Event Unlockables or add new ones.

They also generally introduce a new optional Gameplay element and feature a special Event Tome.

Mini-Events

Mini-Events are the minor Events in Dead by Daylight.

They occur multiple times throughout the year and generally last one week.

They usually do not alter the Gameplay loop (with only a handful of exceptions), but they do feature special modifiers, often influencing the amount of Bloodpoints, Rift Fragments, or XP Players receive from playing ranked Trials or completing Daily Rituals.

Trivia

• In the Summer of 2018, there was a unique Summer Event called the Scorching Summer BBQ 2018.
  Unfortunately, it remained a one-off for the next five years until it was announced during the Seventh Year Anniversary, that it would finally return in August of 2023.
  • The original Event featured Hooks turned into make-shift grills and Generators turned into slushy-machines, which were well-beloved by the Community at the time.
    The Gameplay mechanics were identical to the Howling Grounds Lunar Event earlier that same year.
