Art the Clown Is Coming to Dead by Daylight This Week
Dead by Daylight has given fans another teaser of The Terrifier, while also confirming that the killer clown will officially hit the Public Test Build (PTB) in just a few days!
Terrifying & Annoying
October has flown by in a flash. It feels like just yesterday that Behaviour Interactive laid out this month’s roadmap, showcasing a ton of new events, skins, crossovers, and now an upcoming PTB update. Fans have known that Art the Clown was eventually going to arrive in the Fog ever since the massive 10th anniversary stream, but players will finally get their hands on the killer on October 27!
This punchline's going to hurt.

From the promotional screenshots, we can already start piecing together what Art’s power might look like. Most fans have been wondering how the devs would give him a proper kit, but the answer might be to let Art have a little bit of everything.
One of the official screenshots shows that Art will have a handheld flamethrower from the movies. However, plenty of fans are also speculating that he could have even more weapons in his arsenal, or maybe even a straight-up gun. No, we’re not talking about Deathslinger’s rifle, which is basically a harpoon launcher. We mean a good old-fashioned gun.
Of course, these are just theories for now, but we won’t have to wait much longer to find out. Art the Clown is set to arrive in Dead by Daylight on October 27, so we’ll see you in the Fog!
He's burning to meet you.
