The Entity’s Realm is about to be stained with the crimson blood of a new, highly anticipated licensed killer, as Dead by Daylight Chapter 35 is officially here. This new chapter, titled "Tokyo Ghoul," marks one of the most exciting collaborations in the game's history, bringing the terrifying duality of Ken Kaneki into the Fog. As of the current date, December 19, 2025, the full chapter content, including the new Killer's power and all three unique perks, has been revealed and is ready for players to master.

The arrival of Ken Kaneki, known in the game as "The Ghoul," has been the subject of intense speculation and leaks for months, but the official launch confirms a Killer-only "Paragraph" DLC that focuses entirely on bringing the horrific, tentacled power of the *Tokyo Ghoul* universe to life. Prepare for a massive shift in the meta as this new entity begins to hunt survivors across the existing maps.

Ken Kaneki: The Ghoul's Full Biography and Release Timeline

Chapter 35 introduces Ken Kaneki, the main protagonist of the popular Japanese dark fantasy manga and anime series *Tokyo Ghoul*. His tragic story of transformation from a human college student to a half-ghoul—a creature that must consume human flesh to survive—makes him a perfect fit for the horrific nature of the Entity's Realm. Kaneki's struggle with his new identity and his terrifying, tentacle-like predatory organ, the Kagune, are central to his design as a Killer.

  • Official Chapter Release Date: April 2, 2025.
  • New Survivor: None (Chapter 35 is a Paragraph DLC).

The Ghoul's Terrifying Power: "One Eyed Terror" Explained

Ken Kaneki's power, One Eyed Terror, is a direct translation of his ghoul abilities from the *Tokyo Ghoul* series, focusing on the use of his Rinkaku Kagune—a set of powerful, scaly tentacles that emerge from his lower back. This ability is designed to make him a highly mobile and unpredictable Killer, capable of closing distances quickly and pressuring survivors in unique ways.

The core mechanic of the power is the Kagune Leap. When activated, The Ghoul can charge his Kagune, which allows him to target a Survivor and rapidly propel himself toward them. This functions as a high-risk, high-reward chase mechanic, giving him an extraordinary burst of speed to cover ground instantly, especially in areas where Survivors rely on distance.

Furthermore, the power has a secondary effect that ties into the lore of ghouls' need to consume. Successfully striking a Survivor with the Kagune Leap or a basic attack will apply a unique status effect, forcing Survivors to manage their health state and positioning more carefully than ever before. This power emphasizes constant, aggressive pursuit and map pressure, making him a formidable threat in the hands of a skilled player.

A Deep Dive into Ken Kaneki's 3 Unique Perks

As with all new Killers, Ken Kaneki comes with three teachable perks that can be unlocked and used by any Killer in the game. These perks, Hex: Nothing But Misery, Forever Entwined, and None Are Free, are all designed to enhance Kaneki's aggressive playstyle, focusing on hindering survivors, maintaining pressure, and punishing players who try to work together.

1. Hex: Nothing But Misery

This is a powerful Hex perk that directly punishes Survivors for being damaged. Whenever The Ghoul hits a Survivor with a basic attack, that Survivor becomes Hindered for a short duration. The Hindered status effect reduces the Survivor's movement speed, making it incredibly difficult for them to reach a safe loop or escape a chase after taking a hit. This perk is perfect for Killers who excel at quick, successive attacks or for ending chases rapidly.

2. Forever Entwined

This perk is all about generating map pressure and maintaining the chase. While the exact details are complex, Forever Entwined appears to activate after The Ghoul successfully hooks a Survivor. The perk then grants a temporary boost to The Ghoul's movement speed and/or reduces the cool-down of his power, allowing him to immediately transition to the next chase or return to a generator with alarming speed. This creates a snowball effect, rewarding the Killer for consistent hooks and preventing Survivors from easily resetting the match.

3. None Are Free

This final perk is a potent tool for slowing down generator progress and punishing Survivors for teamwork. None Are Free applies a penalty to Survivors who are working on a generator when another Survivor is put into the dying state or is hooked. This could manifest as a regression, a temporary block, or a difficult skill check, forcing Survivors to make a tough choice: continue repairing and risk a major penalty, or abandon the generator to help their teammate. It’s an excellent perk for preventing a quick "gen rush" and extending the match.

The Chapter 35 Content: Why No New Survivor or Map?

One of the biggest questions surrounding Chapter 35 is the absence of a new Survivor and a dedicated map. This is explained by the chapter being a "Paragraph" DLC, a format Behaviour Interactive often uses for licensed collaborations that only feature a single Killer or Survivor (as seen with Ghost Face or Ash Williams).

The decision to focus solely on Ken Kaneki, "The Ghoul," allows the developers to pour all their creative energy and licensing budget into perfecting the Killer's design, power, and cosmetics. While a new map set in the world of *Tokyo Ghoul* (like the Anteiku coffee shop or the CCG headquarters) would have been exciting, the current model ensures the highest quality representation of Kaneki himself. The content instead focuses on the Killer, his three perks, and two exclusive cosmetic pieces.

The community is generally accepting of this, as the inclusion of a major licensed entity like Ken Kaneki is considered a massive win, even without a new map to accompany him. The focus is entirely on the exciting new gameplay loop that "The Ghoul" brings to the game.

Anticipated Impact on the Dead by Daylight Meta

The introduction of Ken Kaneki is poised to have a significant impact on the Dead by Daylight meta, especially among high-level players. His Kagune Leap power offers a new level of mobility and unpredictability, rivaling other high-tier Killers who can traverse the map quickly.

Furthermore, his unique perks are all designed to be "anti-Survivor" in a powerful way:

  • Hex: Nothing But Misery directly counters "Dead Hard" and other second-chance perks by making it nearly impossible to escape after a successful hit.
  • Forever Entwined punishes unhook attempts and allows the Killer to instantly apply pressure elsewhere, making it a strong alternative to perks like Pop Goes the Weasel.
  • None Are Free is a powerful tool for area denial, forcing Survivors to coordinate their generator repairs or face major setbacks.

The combination of his high-mobility power and his powerful, oppressive perks means "The Ghoul" is expected to be a top-tier Killer upon his full release on April 2, 2025. Fans are already theory-crafting builds to maximize his potential, combining his native perks with classic choices like Corrupt Intervention and Scourge Hook: Pain Resonance to establish total map control from the start of the trial.
