A recent tweet posted to the officialDead by DaylightTwitter account has some players convinced it is a sign of things to come in 2023. The tweet, which simply features an undeveloped Polaroid picture, has ledDead by Daylightfans to develop several theories.
The team behindDead by Daylightare no strangers to hiding clues in plain sight, having previously hinted atSilent Hillcollaborating withDead by Daylightby subtly shaping the number “4” featured as part of the game’s four-year anniversary promotional material in a manner reminiscent of Pyramid Head’s iconic headpiece. As such, lovers of the asymmetrical genre are always eager to pore over any and all new content released byDead by Daylight’s various social media outlets in the hopes of uncovering information pertaining to future chapters.

When the officialDead by DaylightTwitter account shared an image of an undeveloped Polaroid picture on the day after Christmas, many fans took it as a sign of what was to come for the game in early 2023. Posting the image to Reddit, user A_Bird_survived implored others to help them figure out what it was hinting at. Though many players tried using tools to brighten the image, some pointed out that, due to it being a Polaroid that was yet to develop, it was more likely that further teasers would follow in the future, featuring better-developed versions of the original image. Though no new content is scheduled forDead by Daylightin the next patch, which will aim to address theunhealthy meta plaguingDead by Daylight, it is possible it may become relevant further in the future.
Other theories included the possibility of a new Vampire-themed killer, due to vampires typically not showing up in photographs or mirrors, a character from theFatal Frameseries, or a licensed chapter introducing Obscura fromThe Evil Within 2to theDead by Daylightcinematic universe-a terrifying boss who possesses a Polaroid camera in place of a head. However, some fans pointed out the original caption of the tweet, which reads “I tried to take a picture in my locker, but couldn’t figure out how to use the flash…”
With theDead by DaylightTwitter having been placed into the reliable hands of one of its most iconic survivors, Dwight, for the Christmas season, many of its recent tweets have detailed his ventures throughout the trials during theDead by DaylightBone Chill event, where he avoids trouble by hiding in lockers. For some players, the tweet can simply be taken at face value, with Dwight having tried to take an image on his camera while hiding in a locker and the pitch black photograph being the result. Some players, however, remain unconvinced, and think there is more to the image than meets the eye.
Dead by Daylightis currently available for Nintendo Switch, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
