Terrifier's Art the Clown is coming to Dead by Daylight in November 2026

Art is poised to be a new Killer in Dead by Daylight later this year as Behaviour Interactive collaborates on Terrifier universe content.

Art the Clown from the Terrifier series has been announced for Dead by Daylight and is coming to the game in November 2026.

With Dead by Daylight having its 10th anniversary celebration this weekend, Behaviour Interactive also showed off exciting things coming in the game’s future, which included brief details about the upcoming collaboration with the Terrifier horror universe. At the time of the announcement, Behaviour only revealed that Art himself is coming to the game in Novmber 2026, but we can safely assume Art will be a Killer, and there may yet be cosmetics for other characters that haven't been shown at this time.

Terrifier is a series that has gained relatively recent notoriety among horror cinema's best franchises, mostly for the fact that it has been a showcase of practical effects in its gory movie massacres. The series started with the first film in 2016, directed by special effects artist Damien Leone, who has also directed the subsequent Terrifier 2 and 3, as well as unrelated shorts featuring Art. Terrifier 4 is currenlty in the works with no available release date at this time.

The Terrifier content for Dead by Daylight was just a tease for now, but with plans to launch in November 2026, we’ll look forward to a bigger reveal of Art the Clown as we get closer. Stay tuned to the Dead by Daylight topic for more updates.
