Dead by Daylight reveals a new chapter. Dead by Daylight: Doomed Course is currently available as part of the public test build on Steam.
Behavior Interactive announces that the new chapter Dead by Daylight: Doomed Course will be available starting November 28th. The chapter introduces the Canine Mistress, a new assassin, and Taurie Cain, a new survivor. As of November 5th, Doomed Course is already available via the public test build on Steam.
Every killer’s best friend
The killer from Doomed Course, the Dog Mistress, also known as Portia Maye, is one of the most tragic characters in the Dead by Daylight universe. Portia began life as a curious, kind-hearted girl, but her mind was destroyed when she was forced to witness her father’s torture and murder by pirates in the 19th century.
Consumed by her hatred, she grew up alone on the mysterious Dragontooth Island in the Bermuda Triangle and dedicated her life to retribution against those responsible for her father’s murder. The only remaining link to her humanity is the bond she shares with her dog Snug, who was a gift from her father and helps her hunt.
As the first AI-controlled animal companion in Dead by Daylight, Snug will help Portia track, search, and capture fleeing survivors so she can achieve her goals. Players have different commands for their four-legged companion: Grab and Search. The Barrel command lets Snug charge forward, with the option to redirect him for additional control.
If he catches a survivor, Snug will take him to the Dog Mistress by commanding Bring. The Search command also creates a canine sense radius that expands as Snug moves, detecting survivors within its range.
The disciple who became a victim
Some of the survivors in Dead by Daylight move in a morally gray area, and of those few, no one treads this line as dangerously as Taurie Cain.
Born and raised in the Black Claw, a secret cult dedicated to the understanding and worship of the Entity, Taurie lost her mother and brother while exploring the Bleeding – an intersection between our world and the Entity’s world.
She returned from the Bleeding, more certain than ever that her destiny lay in serving the Entity. But when the mist finally came to take her, she discovered that her service would come not as a killer, but as a survivor.
Bleeding together
Despite being separated by centuries, the stories of the Hound Mistress and Taurie Cain share a common thread – one that runs through much of Dead by Daylight’s lore – bleeding.
This bleeding, seen as an overlap between the Entity’s realm and our world, allows those who dare to enter the mist. Some may escape, but any kind of contact with the entity has consequences.
Prior to her time in the Trials, survivor Haddie Kaur investigated bleeding around the world for her podcast series Harbinger of Hell and was able to identify numerous bleeding locations in Dead by Daylight, including the Crotus Prenn Asylum.
For the Dog Mistress and Taurie, their discovery of bleeding changed their lives, driving one into murderous madness and the other into a life dedicated to the entity.
