The fog grows thicker as Dead by Daylight drops its 22nd Tome—Anguish—bringing fresh nightmares and drip to the Trials! Dropped on January 28, 2025, this Archives expansion digs deep into the Entity's psychological torture. Players now face spine-chilling challenges while unlocking slick cosmetics tied to torment-themed tales. Jane Romero's investigative journalism meets The Blight's grotesque experiments, revealing how The Fog corrupts lives beyond the realm. And yo, the Lunar New Year Collection just rebooted with fiery flair! With three more cosmetic packs rolling out through February, survivors and killers alike are feasting on new fits.

🔪 What's Cooking in The Archives?

The Archives ain't just filler—it's DBD's lore library where completing chapter challenges = Rift progress + mad rewards. Since 2019, Behaviour Interactive's dished out 21 Tomes before this 22nd banger. Anguish slaps players with:

• Jane Romero's Memories: Interviewing families of The Fog's victims 👩‍💼📹

• The Blight's Backstory: More mutation experiments gone wrong 🧪💀

• Rift Grind Goodies: Outfits symbolizing Trial agony (think Huntress looking extra vicious)

Kinda wild how Jane's plot shows The Entity messing with outsiders—proof this cosmic horror ain't confined to the Trials!

👗 Outfit Drops: From Ultra Rare to Fairy Tale Flips

Tome 22's Rift rewards scream "flex or perish" with these ensembles:

Character	Outfit Tier	Vibe Check

Jane Romero	Ultra Rare	Investigative chic

🤔 Final Thoughts & An Open Nightmare

Anguish proves DBD’s lore isn’t stagnant—it’s evolving through survivors’ trauma and killers’ origins. With Jane humanizing The Fog’s collateral damage and The Blight’s lab disasters, Behaviour’s fleshing out motivations beyond "stab or flee." And those cosmetics? Pure drip meets dread. But here’s the kicker: if The Entity’s influence now leaks into the real world through memories and families… does that mean our realm’s already corrupted? 🌫️💀
