17 May 2024 - It's been confirmed that Dead by Daylight's Chapter 32 features Vecna from Dungeons & Dragons! We've updated this article with all the newest info from DBD's 8th anniversary stream. 

Dead by Daylight's Chapter 31, All Things Wicked, introduced the new survivor Sable Ward and killer The Unknown. With Tome 18 behind us and a new chapter just ahead, Dead by Daylight is now set to introduce Vecna, AKA The Lich, from Dungeons & Dragons into the game for Chapter 32.

Here's everything we know so far about Chapter 32, when it'll release, and the all-new killer, Vecna.

Dead by Daylight Chapter 32 Release Date

Dead by Daylight's Dungeons & Dragons chapter, Chapter 32, is set to come out on 3 June 2024 at 9AM PT. DBD usually releases a new chapter every few months. The last chapter, All Things Wicked, was released on 12 March 2024.

With the return of Stranger Things to Dead by Daylight, many speculated that the Chapter 32 killer could be the iconic villain Vecna. It turns out that that's 100% correct, as Vecna is the newest killer in Dead by Daylight's Chapter 32 - but it's the Dungeons & Dragons version of the character, not the iteration from Stranger Things. Vecna is known in-game as "The Lich."

Vecna's power has four different parts, with each one allowing him a different advantage in chase; one allows him to Fly, for example, while another can block a nearby pallet so survivors can't drop it.

Who could the Survivor Be In Dead by Daylight Chapter 32?

Unfortunately, it doesn't seem that we'll get a survivor in Chapter 32, despite the fact that many speculated that we could.

Some fans thought that if Dead by Daylight did add Vecna from Stranger Things as a killer, that it'd be likely we'd get some Stranger Things survivors in addition to the ones we already have, too, such as Eddie Munson or Joyce Byers.

The Vecna we're actually getting though, is the Dungeons & Dragons version - not the Stranger Things version - so there'll be no Stranger Things survivor to accompany him.

Let's be honest, who doesn't want to see Eddie Munson as a survivor?
