Tue Mar 11 18:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Dead by Daylight’s New Killer: A Twisted Ken Kaneki Unleashed

**Sony Interactive Entertainment announced today that Ken Kaneki, the iconic protagonist of *Tokyo Ghoul*, is joining the roster of Killers in *Dead by Daylight*.** This new chapter, launching April 2nd on PS5 and PS4, presents a dark, alternate version of Kaneki, far removed from his original compassionate nature.

Following a traumatic battle that leaves him in The Entity’s Realm, Kaneki’s humanity is shattered, replaced by a ferocious ghoulish hunger. His Kagune abilities, manifested as deadly tentacles, transform him into a brutal predator. Behaviour Interactive, the developers, collaborated closely with the *Tokyo Ghoul* Production Committee to create this horrifying reimagining, embracing the series’ gruesome imagery and visceral tension.

Creative Director Dave Richard explained the design choices: “This is a Ken Kaneki operating on his most primal ghoul instincts, who takes an almost gleeful joy in hurting others.” His Killer Power allows for rapid movement and deadly attacks, amplified by an “Enraged Mode” triggered by successful hits. His unique Perks further incentivize aggressive gameplay. Even his finishing move, a disturbing “Mori,” reflects his cannibalistic tendencies.

The chapter features original voice lines from Natsuki Hanae, the anime’s voice actor for Kaneki, ensuring authenticity. This twisted portrayal of a beloved character promises a chilling and exciting experience for *Tokyo Ghoul* fans and *Dead by Daylight* players alike.
