The Chapter is paid Dead by Daylight DLC, not a standalone game, and its purchase bundle centers on one Killer, one Survivor, their perks, and two cosmetics.
Dead by Daylight: Chorus of Sin released August 25, 2026. Steam US listed the DLC at $7.99 on August 28, and it requires the Dead by Daylight base game. The Chapter adds The Judgment, Aurora Stardotter, their six character perks, and two exclusive Chapter cosmetics.
| Included element | Name |
|---|---|
| Killer | The Judgment |
| Survivor | Aurora Stardotter |
| Killer perks | Celestial Witness, Hex: Under Your Thumb, Lay Waste |
| Survivor perks | Boon: Steadfast, Fruits of Your Labor, Salvation's Cry |
| Judgment item | Peridot Incarnation |
| Aurora item | Fate's Chosen |
The $7.99 figure is a dated US Steam price, not a promise for every country or console store. Taxes, platform pricing, bundles, and promotions can differ. Check the store attached to the account where you play before buying.
Steam labels Chorus of Sin as downloadable content and states that the base game is required. Buying the Chapter does not create a second Dead by Daylight installation. It unlocks the Chapter content inside the existing game and follows the base game's online requirements.
The official Chapter page presents both exclusive items as purchase extras. It does not say every future cosmetic for these characters is included. Likewise, the patch changes base-game systems beyond the two characters, but those patch changes are not separate paid DLC entitlements.
