Sadako Rises In Dead By Daylight
Early reports have turned out to be true: Sadako, the stringy-haired star of the Ringu series of horror films, has joined the Dead By Daylight lineup.
The latest chapter, Sadako Rising, is live as of now, and as we expected (but weren’t allowed to admit for some reason), Sadako is the new Killer. Yoichi Asakawa from the first Ringu movie has also joined the game as the latest Survivor.
Those playing Sadako will start out on the map invisible to all players, but may flicker into visibility if she gets too close to a Survivor. A proper attack means utilizing her powers: portal to a TV display, climb out of it, and start chasing. In lieu of a Seven Days curse (DBD matches don’t last that long), the Survivor’s Condemned meter will rise. If and when it becomes full, Sadako can kill them with one hit.
“New Killers joining the Fog must be fun to play, and fun to play against. In that sense, I think we really went above and beyond with Sadako Rising,” says Dave Richard, Creative Director for Dead by Daylight. “Whether playing as Sadako or as Yoichi, fans will have to beware of new tactics and new techniques that will change the way they attack or escape.”
Dead By Daylight, and the Sadako Rising chapter, are available now on consoles, PC and mobile devices.

As a Steve main, I can’t wait to hit Sadako’s head with a palate while I am wearing my scoops ahoy Uniform! Then I will blind her eye with a flash light as I do the teabagging dance in front of the exist gate.

She is one of the most fun killers in the Game. I use her to pressure Survivors to the point they cannot finish generators. I thought she would be like the Spirit, but she ends up having original gameplay. She looks so simple, yet she is scarier than the monster looking killers.
