The character was announced for a few weeks, it is now available in the new Dead by Daylight: Sadako Rising DLC comes to make the players shiver. This 23rd new Killer inspired by the novel RINGU by Koji Suzuki and its film adaptation The Ring joins the already very complete roster of the survival game in asymmetrical gameplay. Very popular in Japan, the character also experienced great interest when it was released in cinemas here.
New Slayers joining the Mist should be fun to play and fun to battle. In that sense, I think we really outdid ourselves with Sadako Rising. Whether playing as Sadako or Yoichi, fans will have to beware of new tactics and techniques that will change the way they attack or escape.
– Dave Richard, creative director of Dead by Daylight
The new gameplay will allow for a new approach for players playing Slayers. Sadako starts the game invisible and undetectable. When she is near a Survivor, her presence is revealed by small intermittent flashes. Then, to attack, Sadako can manifest at will or take material form by projecting herself through a TV. Using her power, the Slayer teleports to the TV and manifests, increasing the Doom progress of any nearby Survivor. When a Survivor’s Condemnation meter is full, they can be instantly killed when downed.
Chapter 23 is also coming with cosmetics in the in-game store:
- Available for 1,485 Ora Cells, the Ultra Rare Outfit Rotten leftovers for Sadako features the Slayer in an advanced stage of decomposition as she digs her nails into the muddy ground and slowly climbs up the wall of the shaft.
- The very rare outfit Yoichi’s Search Journey can be purchased for 1,080 Ora Cells. It includes athletic shorts, a yellow beanie, and the windbreaker he wore while sailing off the coast of southern Japan in search of answers.
Sadako Rising is available on Steam, PS5, PS4, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Epic Games Store, Windows Store, Nintendo Switch and Stadia.
