Dead by Daylightis about to get a little more (un)deadly with the terrifyingDungeons & Dragonsvillain Vecna set to join the game in its next chapter.

Known as The Whispered One, Lord of the Rotted Tower, The Master of Secrets, or justVecna, this character is a key villain inDungeons & Dragons adventuresand has grown in popularity immensely after appearing in the beloved D&D series Critical Role, and inStranger Thingsas their primary antagonist.

Now, he’s coming to the video game world in a brand new format, acting as the new enemy in Dead by Daylight as part of its exciting Dungeons & Dragons chapter.

TheDead by Daylight: Dungeons & Dragons chaptermarks an exciting period for the popular multiplayer horror experience.

It’ll be bringing in the memorable villain as well as adding some exciting new spells, some clever D&D-inspired mechanics, and even two new bardic heroes in the form of an Elf named Aestri Yazar, and a Human called Baermar Uraz to help you defeat the powerful Lich for good, or just escape his clutches.

However, while the two new characters and D&D spells are certainly exciting, it’s Vecna that will really cause a stir in the upcoming update. After all, his four added spells, deadly new land, and exciting new loot (should you roll high enough) will make him a battle many will never forget.

While the Dead by Daylight: Dungeons & Dragons chapter isn’t out just yet, players will be able to test out the new adventure as part of the Steam limited-time public test until it fully releases soon.
