It’s a tale as old as time: a new Dead by Daylight killer launches, fans unleash a torrent of negativity, and the cycle continues. Yet, in a surprising turn of events, the arrival of Vecna, the lich from Dungeons & Dragons, has sparked an unexpectedly positive response from the community.

Vecna, the new killer, initially faced criticisms for his seemingly underwhelming abilities during the public test build. But a last-minute buff seems to have struck the perfect balance, resulting in a rare phenomenon: players actually seem to be enjoying the new killer.
