In honor of Dead By Daylight’s sixth anniversary, the Artificial Mind and Movement team held a celebratory stream with plenty of details on the survival horror game’s future. One announcement that players got during this showcase was the reveal of The Dredge, but what is this creature?

The Dredge is a new killer joining Dead By Daylight in its Roots of Dread summer 2022 update. The developers describe this new monster in aninterview with PlayStationas a “formless mass of twisted limbs writhing in the shadows, The Dredge is a manifestation of darkness itself.” As with other killers in Dead By Daylight, The Dedge has unique abilities that set it apart from other killers.
