Dead by Daylight just announced their new upcoming Chapter titled “Sinister Grace” featuring The Krasue.

The Krasue is an evil spirit that appears as a disembodied head which floats along dragging its bleeding organs. In-game it also has another form as a beautiful young woman in traditional apparel.

The Krasue has varying origins depending on the region, but according to Thai folklore, the creature suffers a curse that leaves it eternally hungry. It seeks blood and raw flesh. The Thai Krasue lives like a normal person during the day, leaving its headless body behind at night when it emerges to feed.

Mechanically, The Krasue appears to combine elements from The Plague and The Lich. Players can swap between Body and Head forms, and while in Head form The Krasue can perform an “intestinal whip” which fills a meter on the survivor.

In the first phase, the meter begins to slowly fill and when it’s full again, the survivor becomes “Broken”. However Head form has a weakness, while it moves faster and can perform its whip, it cannot break pallets or gain bloodlust.

The Krasue compensates for this, by being given a limited flight ability when it’s in Head form. Body form makes The Krasue a typical “M1” killer, which means they don’t really use any powers to achieve hits in this form. This allows for The Krasue to switch tactics against experienced players who know how to exploit the Head form’s weaknesses.

The Sinister Grace chapter featuring The Krasue is set to release on September 23, players can preview it through the PTB (Public Test Build) now.
