Dead by Daylight is working its way down the list of horror movie icons. As inadvertently revealed earlier today thanks to a game update, the next playable killer will be none other than Ghostface from Scream.

Shortly after players discovered “The Ghost” in Dead by Daylight, developer Behaviour responded:
Some lucky players got a glimpse of our upcoming chapter release content in today’s mid-chapter update. We already pushed the right update live to all players on PC and PS4. XBOX users will receive it within a few days. In the meantime, enjoy the early hype on the next chapter!

Bit hard to say it didn't happen when the entire community is that hyped, might as well embrace it! 😎

As for our long-faced friend, he can “move stealthily, crouch, lean around corners, and stalk survivors.” Using his primary power Shrouded Hunt, The Ghost has no terror radius, and his secondary, Stalk, allows him to give an individual survivor player the exposed status for a limited amount of time.
The concept of a sneaky killer that feeds on other players’ paranoia sounds like a treat.
