The Sadako Rising chapter is officially live in Dead by Daylight, bringing more iconic horror characters into the game. Sadako Rising is inspired by Koji Suzuki’s novel Ringu and the original film adaptation. The new Killer will be Sadako herself – in-game her name is the Onryo – and the new Survivor is Yoichi Asakawa. What will these new characters bring into the fog?
Sadako has been pulled into the realm of the Entity, and has been provided victims to release her hatred upon. Her power is called Deluge of Fear, and it gives Killers a new way of hunting and sacrificing Survivors. With it Sadako can catch Survivors off guard, and can suddenly appear from unexpected places. To learn more about how Deluge of Fear works I have prepared a guide on Sadako’s power.
A new Killer power is not the only thing Sadako brings into the fog, as she has three new perks for Killers to test out on unexpecting Survivors. Her three unique perks are Scourge Hook: Floods of Rage, Call of Brine, and Merciless storm. To see a detailed breakdown of her perks, check out my Onryo perk guide.
On the Survivor side, Yoichi Asakawa brings hope with three new perks players can use during a game. His perks are Parental Guidance, Empathic Connection, and Boon: Dark Theory. These perks can help prolong chases, or ensure the survival of your team. To see a detailed breakdown of his perks, check out my guide.
To celebrate the release of Sadako Rising, there are two new Sadako Rising themed cosmetics coming to Dead by Daylight. Sadako has a horrific Rotton Remains outfit, which shows her in the advanced stages of decay. This outfit is available for purchase in the store for 1,484 Auric Cells. The second outfit is for Yorichi, and it is called Research Trip. This is the outfit Yorichi wore as he sailed the coast of Southern Japan looking for answers. Research Trip is available for 1,080 Auric Cells.
There is everything coming in the Sadako Rising chapter for Dead by Daylight. Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more Dead by Daylight updates!
