Dead by Daylight: Doomed Course Brings New Killer and Survivor into The Fog

Prepare for a chilling new addition to Dead by Daylight. Releasing on November 28, Dead by Daylight: Doomed Course introduces two twisted characters: The Houndmaster, a relentless Killer aided by her loyal dog, and Taurie Cain, a morally complex Survivor shaped by a dark past. Available on the Steam public test build starting November 7, this update promises a haunting new journey into Dead by Daylight’s rich lore.

Meet the Killer: The Houndmaster and Her Canine Companion

Once a curious and kind-hearted girl, Portia Maye’s life was shattered by the brutal murder of her father on the mysterious Dragon’s Tooth Island. Consumed by a desire for revenge, Portia embraced her darkness, becoming The Houndmaster. Now, she hunts survivors with the aid of her powerful dog, Snug—Dead by Daylight’s first AI-controlled animal companion.

Snug’s Abilities:

• Chase Command: Sends Snug charging after survivors, dragging them back to The Houndmaster if he catches them.
• Search Command: Creates a widening radius called Houndsense, revealing any survivors within range.

With Snug’s tracking and holding abilities, The Houndmaster is a unique addition, forcing players to strategize to evade her relentless pursuit.

Introducing the Survivor: Taurie Cain

Taurie Cain’s story is filled with mystery and darkness. A member of the Black Talon cabal, a cult dedicated to understanding The Entity, Taurie lost her mother and brother exploring a “Bleed”—a dangerous overlap between our world and The Entity’s Realm. Her heart, touched by darkness, was dedicated to serving The Entity, only to find herself summoned as a Survivor, not a Killer.

The Influence of Bleeds Both Taurie and The Houndmaster have been marked by exposure to Bleeds, a phenomenon where The Entity’s Realm overlaps with our world. This eerie connection ties them to Dead by Daylight’s lore, as Bleeds have been identified in other iconic locations, such as the Crotus Prenn Asylum, leaving a lasting mark on all who encounter them.

Enter the Trials in Doomed Course

With their harrowing backstories, The Houndmaster and Taurie Cain bring new layers of complexity to Dead by Daylight. Players can now experience these mythic characters through the public test build on Steam starting November 7, with the full release on November 28.
