Behaviour Interactive, the developer behind the popular multiplayer horror game Dead by Daylight, has confirmed the Hellraiser Chapter will be leaving the store in April 2025, which has left a majority of the player base disappointed. Elliot Spencer, also known as The Cenobite or Pinhead, joined Dead by Daylight as a Killer in Chapter 21: Hellraiser and the character originates from the 1987 horror movie franchise of the same name based on Clive Barker’s 1986 novella The Hellbound Heart.
Dead by Daylight first launched in 2017 and hosts one-versus-four games where one player undertakes the role of the Killer while hunting the remaining Survivors to sacrifice to the Entity. Eight years after its launch, the survival horror retains its popularity and even has a famous face in its player base since The Walking Dead star Chandler Riggs recently revealed which character he wants to see added to the Dead by Daylight roster. Despite the community relentlessly discussing which Killers and Survivors they wish to join the hunt, the fandom was blindsided about losing Pinhead.
Dead by Daylight fans mock a silly detail belonging to The Mastermind, aka Albert Wesker, but some justify it as a Resident Evil nod....
