When is the Dead by Daylight anniversary event 2025? Every year, to celebrate the original release date of the asymmetrical horror game, players are invited to a very twisted masquerade. This year is no different, and the annual anniversary event is back this June, though it does mark the last Dead By Daylight Twisted Masquerade ever.
During the horror game, but this year we need to make the most of Trixie and her bag of tricks while we still can. Here's everything we know about the Twisted Masquerade 2025.
DBD Twisted Masquerade dates
The final Dead by Daylight Twisted Masquerade takes place between June 25 to July 16, 2025 and features many of the same mechanics from previous years.
Instead of adding anything new, the team focused on making this event perfect. This includes quality of life changes like a change to instant hooking. What's more, remaining characters missing masks get their outfits this year, and all previous outfits will be available to buy so you can complete your masquerade collection.
DBD anniversary event details
Trix and her bag of tricks
Introduced last year, Trix is a non-playable character who 'hosts' the Twisted Masquerade. She has exclusive voice lines narrating the event in the pre-match lobby and in-game.
As the match wears on, Trix again gets out her bag of tricks (or treats) such as spawning new chests, giving players haste, and more. The more objectives you complete, the more Trix tricks you experience.
Twisted Masquerade invites
Twisted Masquerade invitations are also back this year. These invitations grant specific effects in-game to boost your gameplay, but that the other team also gets this same advantage. These effects include survivor 'quiet mode', keeping you out of harm's way for a while. For the killer, there is the option to immediately send survivors to a hook across the map. However, since this was hard to counter in 2024, the process takes a little longer this time, and survivors can get that flashlight save in if they're quick.
Twisted Masquerade cosmetics and rewards
This year's twisted masks and other cosmetic rewards complete the collection, ensuring that every original character available right now has their outfit ready for the party. Two licensed characters are getting in on the action as well, with full outfits available in the in-game shop.
Here are the DBD characters with unlockable Twisted Masquerade masks this year:
- Vittorio Toscano
- Jake Park
- Sable Ward
- Claudette Morel
- Taurie Cain
- Orela Rose
- The Houndmaster
Since only one original killer was missing a mask, five more rewards have been added. New Twisted Masquerade weapons are avaiable for:
- The Trapper
- The Huntress
- The Doctor
- The Nurse
- The Spirit
David King and The Wraith are the two final characters without a fit, and they each have a full getup, available by completing event quests. The Lich and Baermar have outfits that can be purchased, along with all previous years' cosmetics.
There's so much going on in Dead by Daylight right now as we wait for this year's DBD anniversary event. One of the most requested characters ever, Springtrap, arrives in The Fog, and there are more DBD Twitch drops right now.
