Leaker Aricarna revealed on the DBDLeaks Discord that, starting on March 4 and running until April 4, the multiplayer horror game will hold a Hellraiser sale. This means players will have the chance to get Pinhead’s cosmetics in Dead by Daylight, along with a Hellraiser bundle for 1,393 Auric Cells. While Hellraiser fans may be excited, this still-unannounced event could be a sign that Pinhead is leaving the game.

Dead by Daylight Hellraiser Leaked Event Has Fans Concerned About Pinhead's Potential Removal

As Aricarna explained, a similar situation happened with Stranger Things before its removal from the game. Luckily for players, Stranger Things eventually returned to Dead by Daylight. The leaker also mentioned Attack on Titan, which was also removed under similar circumstances. However, while the leaker’s theory has some merit, Behaviour Interactive has not made any official announcement regarding this matter.

The leak has sparked discussions on social media, with players sharing their thoughts on Dead by Daylight’s killers and licenses. Some believe there can be no other reason for Behaviour to hold a month-long sale unless the license is about to expire. Another player pointed to an alleged complex relationship between Behaviour and Clive Barker, which could explain Pinhead’s potential removal.

Amid all the speculation, the developer is gearing up for upcoming chapters and recently delayed content by three weeks to focus on addressing long-standing issues, necessary quality-of-life improvements, and critical bug fixes. While players continue to debate the leaks, it remains to be seen how the developer will address these concerns—and whether this event truly means what they fear it does.
