We explain the lore behind The Trapper in Dead By Daylight.
What Is Happening With Pinhead?
The Cenobite, also known as Pinhead, is both leaving and staying in Dead By Daylight.
This actuallyprovides a lore reason for him suddenly vanishing.
If he could get in on his own, he could also feasibly leave on his own.
However,they will still be able to keep him in the game for people who already own him.
You could, however, still play against him if someone you’re matched against does own him.
If you already have him purchased and unlocked, nothing will change for you.
You’ll still be able to play as him just the same as before.
Why Is The License Expiring?
In this case, things are a little more complicated.
The rights to the original film havereverted to the creator, Clive Barker.
Because a different entity now holds the rights,the original contract literally cannot be renewed.
Until that happens,the safest assumption is that Hellraiser is gone from Dead By Daylight for good.
What Will Happen To His Perks?
Pinhead has, hands down,some of the best Killer perks in the game.
Has This Ever Happened Before?
This has happened before, most notably with Stranger Things.
Seeing Steve, Nancy, or The Demogorgon in the game became a rare event.
Hellraiser isn’t as popular, so it might not generate the same support.
Is There Any Upside?
New cosmetics, or even a Survivor or a map, could in theory, be added.
Dead by Daylight’s most beloved feature is its killers, but which of them is the best?
