Ringu, the Japanese horror masterpiece, is coming to Dead By Daylight in the form of a new chapter.
The Ringu Chapter will be Dead By Daylight’s latest crossover with an iconic horror series — arguably the most influential of the past three decades. Koji Suzuki’s original novel Ring went on to have a legendary film Japanese film adaptation in 1998, which itself inspired 2002’s The Ring starring Naomi Watts.
This chapter is centering on Ringu, though, not The Ring. So that means the killer will likely be Sadako Yamamura rather than her western counterpart Samara. Good thing, too, cause Ringu is a way better film. Sorry, I’m right.
You can check out a trailer for Dead By Daylight’s Ringu chapter for yourself below.

There’s no confirmation yet whether Sadako will be in it or not, but given her iconic water well is in the trailer, it’s a safe bet.
Dead By Daylight game director Mathieu Cote had nothing but good things to say about this new chapter.
“The importance of the Ringu franchise in Japan, and its influence on culture around the world are undeniable. To be given the opportunity to dive into that legendary story as we bring this creation into Dead by Daylight is an immense honor,” Cote said in a press release. “This new Chapter will give our players something intensely dark and troubling, a real heart-pounding experience that adds to the already high intensity of our game.”
The Ringu Chapter will release sometime in March 2022 for PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam. Dead By Daylight also recently came to the Epic Games Store.
