As always, the hit asymmetric multiplayer game is continuing to make sure it’s adding new content for its previous killers and survivors as well, such as the Cybil Bennet skin for Cheryl Mason and a bunch of new looks included in its recent Halloween event. The newest outfit to hit the game arrived earlier today, however, with Texas Chainsaw Massacre villain Leatherface (or The Cannibal, as he’s known in Dead by Daylight) receiving his first cosmetic.

The skin is called the Old Lady Outfit and harkens back to the character’s terrifying big-screen debut back in 1974. As those who’ve seen the film will no doubt remember, Leatherface has several masks he dons throughout the film, with one resembling an old lady with blonde hair. The notorious outfit will make its leap to the game pretty authentically, with Leatherface’s new skin sporting the apron, shirt, and mask worn by the killer during his killing spree in the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre.
According to Behaviour Interactive, it will cost a total of 1080 Auric Cells and can be purchased at the in-game store. As expected for a killer with such a storied legacy in horror cinema as Leatherface, the outfit is suitably unnerving, managing to replicate its on-screen counterpart pretty accurately. The villain of the seminal franchise wound up joining Dead by Daylight back in 2017, becoming part of a long line-up of popular horror antagonists to join the game’s roster. Other notable names include Nightmare on Elm Street’s Freddy Krueger, Halloween’s Michael Myers, and Scream’s Ghost Face.
As for Dead by Daylight, the game continues to build a huge community despite releasing all the way back in 2016. Adding new killers frequently, it has been a treasure trove for fresh horror content, as players grow excited to see what big names and new mechanics Behaviour Interactive can add to the title next. It also has a successful mobile counterpart, which recently got access to the Silent Hill content released for the main game back in March. Those wanting to get themselves the game’s new Leatherface mask can do so by going on Dead by Daylight’s in-game store now.
Dead by Daylight is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
