Hellraiser DLC for Dead by Daylight Vanishes from Sale Soon

Dead by Daylight will soon bid farewell to its iconic Hellraiser DLC, featuring Pinhead, as it is set to be removed from sale on April 4th, 2025. Players can still enjoy the character if they already own the DLC, but new purchases will no longer be available after this date. To sweeten the deal for last-minute buyers, Behaviour Interactive is offering a 50% discount on The Cenobite and his cosmetics until the removal date. Initially introduced in September 2021, Pinhead joined a roster of horror legends within the game, making his exit noteworthy for fans of the franchise. The reason for his departure is likely linked to licensing agreements similar to what was experienced with the Stranger Things chapter back in 2019.

The Hellraiser DLC is likely being removed due to licensing issues, as indicated by Behaviour Interactive's vague statement on frequent updates and additions in Live-Service Games.

It features a unique blend of survival elements and asymmetric gameplay, attracting fans of the horror genre. Since its release in 2016, the game has expanded significantly with numerous DLC chapters, introducing new characters and environments, ensuring that it remains a staple in the horror gaming community.
