The Dead by Daylight: Old Wounds Pack is an add-on requiring the base game, integrating eight established Survivors and Killers from four prior Chapters (including Darkness Among Us and Chains of Hate). This pack expands your roster, adding strategic variety to the core asymmetrical horror gameplay of escaping or hunting, but introduces no new maps or mechanics. Available across all major platforms, it offers a consolidated way to access these specific characters.
The Old Wounds Pack focuses exclusively on character acquisition, adding no new maps, dedicated story segments, or modifications to the fundamental gameplay systems of the base game. It integrates directly into the existing structure; once acquired, the eight included characters become available for selection across all standard game modes.
This bundle offers a streamlined method for players to unlock characters that were originally introduced across four separate, significant Chapter releases. The content is designed to enhance the variety available to players who may have missed purchasing those specific historical Chapters individually.
This pack aggregates eight distinct playable entities—a mix of Survivors and Killers—who were first introduced in the four specified content releases. The value proposition lies in the consolidated unlocking of this specific set of eight individuals, allowing players to immediately employ their unique abilities and perks within the established framework of the game.
The underlying gameplay loop remains the asymmetrical confrontation where a team of Survivors attempts to evade and escape a single, powerful Killer. The addition of these characters expands the strategic possibilities by increasing the available pool of unique powers and perks. Each character contributes a distinct set of skills that influence how both the Killer hunts and how Survivors attempt to repair objectives and escape.
This content is accessible on all platforms supporting the base game, including PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, PC (Microsoft Windows), Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch.
No, this add-on does not introduce new core gameplay mechanics or systems. It functions purely as a roster expansion. The atmosphere, objectives, and ruleset remain consistent with the main title; the new characters simply provide additional strategic options within the existing framework.
