Finally, Dead By Daylight’s next major update has arrived on PTB, and it’s based on the critically-acclaimed horror film The Ring, with Chapter 23 Sadako Rising, and PTB for Ringu opening today, February 15, 2022.
Fans of Dead By Daylight have a lot to look forward to in 2022 as we all have seen how DBD’s popularity soar in recent months, and the developers have been constantly updating the game to keep us interested. If an important update is to be released in a major way, it must first be tested on the test servers to ensure that there are no bugs or other issues.
While the six-year celebration will take place later this year where players are speculating that characters like Pennywise from “IT” might make an appearance to commemorate the game’s sixth anniversary, in the meantime we are getting Sadako Yamamura, the Japanese horror girl, as the newest DBD Ringu Killer, The Onryō.
This new Chapter is based on Koji Suzuki’s novel Ringu and the original film version, Sadako Rising introduces two new characters: The Onryō, a killer, and Yoichi Asakawa, a survivor.
Dead by Daylight New Killer – The Onryō
The Onryō, better known as Sadako Yamamura, is the new Killer in Dead by Daylight, and she is no stranger to horror genre. For Dead by Daylight Chapter 23: Sadako Rising, fans are ecstatic about the prospect of taking on the role of this new killer, and the following are all of her perks and abilities.
Sadako, who possessed incredible strength and a ferocious temper, was abandoned to a watery fate. Condemnation awaits anybody who watches the tape, which was created by her rage and manifested as the cursed videotape.
