How many Killers are in Dead by Daylight?

We’ve listed all of these below, along with their Powers and Perks. As new Killers are released, we’ll be sure to update this list with new additions.
Who is the new Killer in DbD?
The most recent Killer to join Dead by Daylight’s roster is ‘The Skull Merchant‘. Introduced in the Tools of Torment Chapter, Adriana Imai’s Power brings tech into The Fog in a way we have yet to see explored before — with drones.

In an interview with Dexerto, when asked about drones and tech itself being introduced in DbD, Creative Director Dave Richard said: “We love this idea of something as omnipresent and inconspicuous as drones are, which when placed in the wrong hands, serve a dark and macabre purpose. It just felt like the right match with The Skull Merchant – a highly intelligent, apex hunter tinkerer.”
