Hey everyone, today I’m telling the complete story of Dead by Daylight, recounting a full timeline of the lives of all 57 current characters in the realm + the legendary characters!
This recounts the years of c. 1700 BCE to 2028 (the future). Keep in mind many events have been simplified to be more concise, and dates have been estimated based on the lore and visual in-game indicators. They are not entirely precise, as there isn’t always precise dates for every character. Turn on captions to see the estimated dates highlighted with an asterisk (*). It’s easier to have it set out in a proper timeline, so the events can unfold in a more linear way and you can understand how the events occur in relation to one another.
Chapter 23 has been released! It’s Sadako Rising, a licensed chapter. The new killer is named The Onryō, and the new survivor, Yoichi Asakawa! Sadako’s gameplay is really fun, and Yoichi’s perks are pretty interesting.
I hope you enjoy : )

Hey everyone, a few things to note:
– Many dates here have been estimated. I have done my best to pinpoint the date based on both the lore, and in-game cues, but they aren’t perfect. Having the dates makes it easier to have the stories unfold and connect to one-another more naturally. To see the estimated dates, turn on captions. I have marked all estimated dates with an asterisk (*).
– There will eventually be a second part to this video covering everything that occurs inside of the Entity’s realm. Things such as: The Observer’s entries, Arcus entries, Haddie, and all of Blight’s stuff too, will be included. They weren’t included here as they would have simply confused the story, as they basically happen in a completely separate timeline to the base one. Time is different in the realm and I’m not sure how I could create a linear story with these two clashing timelines.
– Some lore or sections of lore have been compressed, and don’t have much focus. This is largely for the lore that seems unnecessary or simply reinforces a character theme. E.g., Ace’s bet in ‘Go For Broke’ feels like it can just fall under Ace making bets. ‘The Long Way Home’ is essentially covered by Bill going to war, and him fighting in the outbreak. Same goes for many of the licensed stories. I wanted to just keep these sections very brief. I feel the specifics don’t need to be touched on there so much and would just pad out the video. I’m hoping this is a fairly concise, and palatable video even if you’re interested in lore that much. It’s not meant to go super deep into themes or anything, just give you a good estimation of how Dead by Daylight’s lore pans out, and what the time scale for this is.
Hope you enjoy!
Can you please rank killers based of their teachable perks so i know which killer du upgrade next?
Rigth into the video that's commitment
It's to weird to think about how some of these characters are other than others. Like Steve being older than most of the STARS members
Ace is older than Myers?! Today I learned something new
Wow. no intro straight to the point i like it.
I can’t believe I watched this whole video
Ngl it’s sad that the killers ain’t actually the bad ones
It surprises me to see how many characters were born within 1990 – 2000.
(I was born 1997)
Holy sheeesh, I appreciate the effort brooo ❤️
I've been wondering about this story for so long! Thanks so much making it!
24:25 why does he sound so different
Your voice sounded a little different when you spoke about the Spirit.
Man The time you put in to this.. Really impressive.
I love your work keep it up!
When I say I love history class, this is what I mean😂
Did I miss something or was Benedict Baker's involvement cut off from this?
I feel very unsettled that I’m older then trickster.
Killer power/ability tier list
42 minutes?????? I thought that it was like 5 minutes lmaoooo
One thing that blew my mind that dbd actually made me heavily interested in was "the end of the samurai" & "the end of the cowboy" in my stereotype mind of these time periods they couldn't be further apart. But they actually happened at very similar times, so the Oni & Deathslinger being around together with such a difference in their themes always fascinated me.
