The limited-time event runs Nov. 12 to Nov. 26 and features new playable killers, new survivor abilities and more.
Who is Ken Kaneki?
Ken Kaneki is the newest killer introduced to the Dead by Daylight roster under the title of “The Ghoul.” He originates from the 2011 manga and 2014 animeTokyo Ghoul. He is the main protagonist of the series, a young man who once lived a quiet life as a student at Kamii University. He was unwittingly thrown into a world of trauma and bloodshed when a female ghoul’s organ, a kakuhou, was transplanted into him in life-saving surgery, transforming him into a one-eyed ghoul.This ghoulish nature is heavily amplified by the Entity in the realm of Dead by Daylight,with his in-game biography reading as follows:
“He had been dragged into a nightmare a tormented boy, but he walked out a powerful ghoul. He considered what this would mean as he pushed his way through the heavy doors, and barely noticed as a black fog pooled around his feet. He walked out, confident that the torture was over. But as he observed his surroundings, he realized that perhaps it had only begun.”
Ken Kaneki ‘The Ghoul’ Killer Power
Like all killers in the game, Ken Kaneki comes with his own unique power that players will use to hunt and chase down survivors for the Entity. And The Ghoul’s power, dubbedOne-Eyed Terror, is based on a token system.
You start the trial with 2 tokens. Using your special ability,Kagune Leap, will consume 1 Power Token.
When using Kagune Leap, you can aim to attach your tentacles at any vertical surface or survivor within 16 meters.
Using Kagune Leap also grants you the ability to leap over windows or dropped pallets.
You can also Kagune Leap and save your Power Token by releasing the power button early.
Upon performing a Kagune Leap, if you still have a second Power Token available, you can press the Attack button once again to initiate a second Kagune Leap. Kagune Leap will enter acool-down periodwhen:
There are no more active Power Tokens left to use.
The window of opportunity to use Kagune Leap has elapsed.
A survivor has been grabbed by The Ghoul.
During the power cool-down phase,Kagune Leappower tokens recharge at a default speed of 4 seconds per token. The power can only be used after fully recharging all tokens.
There are special item add-ons that you can unlock in The Ghoul’s bloodweb to help reduce the recharge time of Kagune Leap.
If you successfully land a grab attack on a survivor with Kagune Leap, survivors will gain the Kagune Mark debuff andThe Ghoul will briefly enter Enraged Mode. During this mode, Kagune Leap gains an additional Power Token, the Kagune Leap recharge time is reduced to 2.5 seconds per Token, and The Ghoul vaults more quickly when targeting a survivor on the other side of the vaulting location. Enraged Mode after all survivors cleanse their Kagune Mark (which can be done via fully mending or by entering the dying state).
