Looks like the Dead By Daylight 7th Anniversary Stream announcement has leaked (more details on the link).
Hopefully, this means we'll be learning more about Season 28 very soon!
Just a few weeks after dataminer and Dead by Daylight leaker Leaks by Daylight published the release date of the upcoming anniversary chapter, they have now published a new report providing fans with information about the killer, their power, and the new survivor.
According to the leak, the chapter will feature all original characters. The killer will be called The Singularity, boasting a power called Dimensional Rift. This power will allow him to create two portals on flat surfaces and then teleport between them, creating a blast that makes nearby survivors scream and reveal their auras to him when he does so.
Similar to The Demogorgon's Portals to the Upside Down, survivors can close The Singularity's portals to prevent the killer from teleporting to them. The leak also mentioned that the "power of the killer becomes stronger as the game goes on."
The new survivor will be named Gabriel Soma, though none of his survivor perks have been revealed thus far.
According to Leaks by Daylight, the new Dead by Daylight chapter 28 is set to release on 13 June 2023, with an anniversary live stream and the Steam Public Test Build taking place on 23 May 2023.
Dead By Daylight 7th Anniversary 2023 Start Time
Dead by Daylight's anniversary month is in June, specifically on 14 June. This means that the anniversary event will begin sometime in mid-June 2023 and will last throughout most of that month and possibly even into July 2022.
Based on past years' events, we can expect the 2023 anniversary event to begin on or around 15 June 2023, and it will likely last until about 30 June 2023.
Most Dead by Daylight events begin at 11 am EST, so the anniversary event will probably follow suit.

Dead By Daylight 7th Anniversary 2023 Events
Dead By Daylight's anniversary events usually include in-game rewards, event-specific offerings, and special tasks that players can complete during trials. The anniversary events are well-known in the community as one of the biggest celebrations of the year, allowing players to earn coveted cosmetics and rake in the Bloodpoints.
Anniversary Event Offerings
Starting during the Year 3-anniversary event, developers have released an event-specific cake-themed offering every year that can only be purchased from the Bloodweb during that year's event.
These items can be played after the event is over, but they can never be acquired again, as every year's item is unique. In 2023, it's extremely likely that we will get another special Anniversary event offering.
Here's a look at past years' event-specific anniversary cakes:
- Gruesome Ghateau - Grants 103 % bonus Bloodpoints in all Categories to all Players.
- Ghastly Ghateau - Grants 104 % bonus Bloodpoints in all Categories to all Players.
- Sacrificial Cake - Grants 105 % bonus Bloodpoints in all Categories to all Players. Reveals the Aura of the Crown Pillar in purple within 8 metres. Hear an auditory cue whenever the Crown Pillar moves location.
- Frightful Flan - Grants 106 % bonus Bloodpoints in all Categories to all Players. Reveals the Aura of the Crown Pillar in purple within 8 metres. Hear an auditory cue whenever the Crown Pillar moves location.
Dead By Daylight 7th Anniversary Event Rewards And Items
During the 2022 Twisted Masquerade Anniversary event, players were able to grab Masquerade Masks by interacting with Pillars around the map. In the years before that, both survivors and killers could find Crown Pillars around trials to grab a Crown cosmetic for their character - if they escaped as survivors or finished the trial as killers.
Since this year's event will likely have a new theme, it's possible we'll either see the Crowns or a new reward come to the game, but it's not likely we'll see last year's Masquerade Masks return.
As of right now, no in-game rewards have been announced yet for the Dead By Daylight 2023 anniversary.
That's what you can expect for Dead by Daylight's anniversary in 2023. We'll keep you updated as we learn more!
