After months, if not years of speculation, The Knight is finally coming to Dead by Daylight with the Forged in Fog Chapter. While it’s not the Warmonger from For Honor like many were expecting, The Knight looks more than capable of slaughtering Survivors like Vittorio Toscano. Here’s an overview of what’s coming in Chapter 22.

Dead by Daylight Killer - The Knight

This will summon a Guard who will follow and patrol the created path. There are three Guards that can be summoned in the same order each time: The Carnifex, who can break or damage objects faster; The Assassin, who moves faster during the Hunt; and The Jailer, who patrols longer and is better at detection.Guard Special Ability: The HuntWhile a Guard is patrolling, he can spot and detect Survivors. If a Survivor is detected, the Guard will move to their location, leave a Standard on the ground, and start hunting the Survivor for a set amount of time.

While this perk has at least one token and you are working on a generator, you can press the second active ability button to consume all the tokens and instantly make the generator progress by 1% for each token. This perk then deactivates. If you lose a health state while this perk has at least one token, the perk will lose all tokens and deactivate.

Dead by Daylight Forged in the Fog Trailer

The trailer itself shows off new Survivor Vittorio Toscano making relatively short work of a Hex Totem before being surrounded by The Knight and their entourage. It’s short, sweet, and sets the eerie tone of this medieval murderer.
