Brace yourself, Dead by Daylight fans! Get ready for an exciting new addition to the game. An iconic character, Lara Croft from the Tomb Raider series, will join the Fog as part of the Chapter 32.5. The mid-chapter update will bring new survivor, perks and more to this popular horror game. Know the Dead by Daylight: Tomb Raider release date and details in this article.
Release Date and Time
Go mark your calendars and cancel your appointments on July 16, 2024. Why? Dead by Daylight x Tomb Raider chapter is scheduled to be released on this day. The exact release times are as follows:
- 9AM PT (Pacific Time)
- 12PM ET (Eastern Time)
- 5PM BST (British Summer Time)
This launch is slightly later than the typical release time for new chapters, likely due to a planned 2v8 livestream occurring just before the update goes live.
This addition is part of a survivor paragraph, meaning she’ll be entering the game without an accompanying killer or new map. Lara’s arrival marks the second survivor paragraph of the year, following Alan Wake’s introduction earlier in 2024.
New Perks
Lara Croft brings three new perks to Dead by Daylight, each reflecting her skills and abilities from the Tomb Raider series:
- Finesse: While healthy, Lara’s fast vaults are 20% faster. This perk has a cooldown of 40/35/30 seconds after use.
- Hardened: After unlocking a chest or blessing/cleansing a totem, Lara can reveal the killer’s aura for up to five seconds when she would otherwise scream.
- Specialist: Lara earns tokens by opening or rummaging through chests. When hitting a great skill check on a generator, she can consume up to six tokens, with each token reducing the required generator progress by up to 4%.
These perks showcase Lara’s agility, resourcefulness, and expertise, giving players new strategic options in matches.
Price and Availability
Players can unlock Lara Croft for 500 Auric Cells, similar to the Alan Wake paragraph. Alternatively, the Tomb Raider DLC chapter will be available for purchase on various store platforms for PlayStation, PC, and Xbox. The exact pricing for the DLC package may vary by platform.
Additional Content and Updates
Along with Lara Croft’s arrival, the update will bring several other exciting changes to Dead by Daylight:
- Tome 20 Launch: Releasing alongside the Tomb Raider chapter, Tome 20 will feature Yui Kimura and The Spirit as the confirmed survivor and killer.
- Killer and Perk Changes: The update includes changes to underused killers like The Knight and The Singularity, as well as adjustments to various meta perks for both killers and survivors.
- 2v8 Mode: While not confirmed to release with the Tomb Raider chapter, the highly anticipated 2v8 mode is expected to launch later in July, possibly on July 25, 2024.
Looking Ahead
The game’s developer, Behaviour Interactive, is building anticipation on the release with various engaging activities.
For July 16 at 8AM PT/11 AM ET/4PM BST, a 2v8 livestream is scheduled before the chapter’s release. You can watch this on YouTube or Twitch for an in-depth exploration at the new game mode. Plus, regular updates and teasers for this chapter are posted in the official Dead by Daylight Twitter account.
