The PTB for the Latest Chapter "Doomed Course" is Being Held!
The PTB for the new original chapter Dead by Daylight: Doomed Course of the asymmetrical multiplayer horror game Dead by Daylight started on Friday, November 8, 2024, on Steam.
In the new chapter, a new killer, The Houndmaster, and a new survivor, Taurie Cain, are introduced. Both were at the mercy of a tragic fate, and the Doomed Course that led them into the Fog was no coincidence.
Furthermore, delving into their dark pasts reveals the existence of Bleeds, where the current world and the Entity's Realm overlap. The new chapter is scheduled for release on all platforms from late November 2024 onwards. Join the PTB for the new original chapter "Dead by Daylight: Doomed Course" on Steam immediately.
A Vicious New Killer Born from Hatred
The new killer introduced in the new chapter, The Houndmaster, whose real name is Portia Maye, has a particularly tragic past, even among the characters in "Dead by Daylight."
Portia spent her childhood as a curious and kind-hearted girl, but her heart was shattered when she witnessed her father being brutally tortured to death by pirates in the 19th century.
Trapped by hatred after her father's death, Portia grew up alone on a mystical island called "Dragon's Tooth" in the Bermuda Triangle, dedicating her life to seeking revenge on those who took his life.
It's unclear when Portia learned of the existence of the Bleeds, but when she made contact with the Entity, she was drawn even deeper into the darkness.
The only humanity left in Portia was the bond with her beloved giant dog, Snug, a gift from her father who became her hunting partner.
Furthermore, Snug supports The Houndmaster's hunt as her only source of emotional support.
An AI-Controlled Pet Supports the Killer's Hunt!
For the first time, an AI-controlled pet, Snug, chases and captures escaping survivors, helping The Houndmaster finish them off.
When playing as The Houndmaster, you can give Snug two commands: "Chase" and "Search."
Chase
When the "Chase" command is given, Snug rushes forward, and after that, you can change its target to make it run in a different direction.
When Snug catches a survivor, it drags them back to The Houndmaster.
To escape Snug, a survivor must either stun it or be rescued by another survivor.
Search
With the "Search" command, you can release Snug to any location on the map.
When it receives the search command, a range of Houndsense appears around Snug, which expands as Snug moves.
If a survivor enters the Houndsense range, their position is revealed by Killer Instinct.
Furthermore, survivors affected by Houndsense will suffer a deep wound if they take damage.
Also, when The Houndmaster follows Snug's search path, their movement speed increases over time, and it returns to normal when they leave the path.
A Suspicious New Survivor Who Deeply Worships the Entity
A very small number of survivors in "Dead by Daylight" are morally gray—they can't be called either good or evil—but the new survivor, Taurie Cain, is a character whose moral ambiguity is even more pronounced than that of previous survivors.
Taurie was born and raised in the occult cult Black Talon, a faction of the organization Black Vale that studies and worships the Entity.
In the midst of this, Taurie was struck by the tragedy of losing her mother and brother in a Bleed where the current world and the Entity's Realm overlap, and she fell into darkness.
From that point on, Taurie became convinced that her destiny was to serve the Entity, but when she was drawn into the Fog, she learned that she would walk the path of a survivor instead of a killer.
