The upcoming update for Dead by Daylight is only hours away. Patch 7.0.1 will go live tomorrow at 11 a.m. EST, and it begins the much-anticipated Twisted Masquerade event, which also opens level one of the said event tome. Changes to Dvarka Deepwood - Toba Landing have been made as well. Some of the plants have been desaturated for better readability, and the fog on the map has increased.
Several changes for The Singularity are included in the patch. EMP Crates per map are reduced from five to four, and the EMP Generation time is increased from 90 to 100 seconds.
