Dead by Daylight Introduces Tokyo Ghoul's Ken Kaneki as New Killer

The Tokyo Ghoul crossover brings an alternate version of Kaneki with unique abilities and perks, launching April 2, 2025.

Ken Kaneki, the protagonist of Tokyo Ghoul, is reimagined as a Killer in Dead by Daylight, departing from his original heroic role in the anime and manga.
The crossover introduces Kaneki's 'Kagune' tentacle abilities, allowing quick map traversal and chained attacks, with an Enraged Mode enhancing his mobility and damage output.
Kaneki’s Killer Perks include Hex: Nothing But Misery, Forever Entwined, and None Are Free, encouraging aggressive gameplay and strategic engagement with Survivors.
The collaboration does not include a new map or Survivor but features additional cosmetic items inspired by Tokyo Ghoul, such as outfits and masks.
Natsuki Hanae, Kaneki’s original voice actor from the anime, returns to voice the character in this new Dead by Daylight chapter.
