Streamers caught unawares by new Dead by Daylight killer's jump scare

Publish date: 2023-06-20

Sadako, the new killer coming to Dead by Daylight, is scaring the crap out of players.

Although the new chapter - titled Sadako Rising and based on the cult Japanese horror Ringu - isn't out until 8th March, some members of the Fog Whisperers are already playing as the iconic well-loving killer.

The Fog Whisperers are streamers selected as Dead by Daylight partners to support content in the game. They've been given early access to Sadako.

It's not even during matches that she's freaking players out. It's in the lobby.

When choosing the killer and selecting perks, Sadako stands by her well. Until... she doesn't.

Let's just say, streamers have been losing their shit.

Sadako really making people go Sad-AAAAAAH
