Some Dead By Daylight Hellraiser content will stay despite Pinhead leaving

In March 2025, Dead By Daylight has a number of upcoming features detailed in their roadmap. Regrettably, one of these plans involves a month-long discount for the Hellraiser DLC chapter following Pinhead’s departure. Although it will be disheartening to see the BDSM tormentor go, there is some positive news: Behaviour has confirmed that certain Hellraiser content from Dead By Daylight (DBD) will remain in the game even after Pinhead is removed.

When is Pinhead leaving Dead By Daylight?

It’s been verified that Pinhead, the character from Dead By Daylight, will stop functioning as a killer starting from April 4th. Consequently, the Hellraiser Chapter and the Cenobite killer will no longer be available for purchase.

Currently, fans of DBD (Dead by Daylight) have a chance to grab the Hellraiser chapter and Pinhead cosmetics with a 50% discount in the in-game store. Unfortunately, these items are no longer available for purchase on PSN, Microsoft Store, or Steam, but can be bought from the Nintendo eShop until March 13th.

It appears that BeHaviour has yet to provide a reason for Pinhead’s departure from Dead By Daylight, leading many to speculate it might be due to licensing complications. Previously, Stranger Things was removed in 2021 only to return in 2023, giving hope that Hellraiser could follow suit. However, until an official confirmation is made, fans should prepare for the possibility that Pinhead may not return to the game.

Hellraiser content that will stay in DBD

According to a formal Q&A, Behaviour Inc. has verified that Hellraiser-related elements will persist within Dead by Daylight even though Pinhead is no longer part of it.

If you’ve previously unlocked ‘The Cenobite’, his three unique abilities, or perks, will continue to be found in his game map, known as the bloodweb, with their original descriptions. For those who haven’t yet unlocked ‘The Cenobite’, the perks will instead show up in a common pool of perks that can be obtained by any other Killer character from that day forward. However, these General perks may have different names.

Starting April 4th, owners of Pinhead can continue to upgrade him as usual and even acquire his three Prestige Cosmetic items and three Perk Charms. However, please note that once he leaves, any additional cosmetics will no longer be unlockable; they must be bought from the in-game shop before his departure date.

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share some exciting updates! Regarding Pineahd, while his specific achievements will persist, they’ll be transformed into universal accomplishments, ensuring everyone can partake in the fun.

On top of that, BeHaviour has some fantastic news for all of us who have unlocked The Cenobite, either via the DLC or by accumulating Auric Cells within the game. The Lament Configuration Charm is now up for grabs to everyone who meets this criteria! Let’s dive back into the nightmare again and unlock more mysteries together!

In conclusion, it’s been verified by BeHaviour that Pinhead’s voice lines will stay in the game for those who possess The Cenobite. The developer intends to keep updating and making adjustments to Pinhead, including balance changes and repairs as needed. However, fans should be aware that he may not rank as high as other killers.
