If you’re looking to get a jump on your Halloween inspiration, the Golden Wolf animation crew have you covered with this intense gore-fest, aka the launch trailer for the latest chapter of Behaviour Interactive’s Dead by Daylight survival game.

Golden Wolf: “Rooted in Thai folklore, the game’s story follows Burong, a once-beloved opera singer whose hunger for fame transforms her into The Krasue, a floating head with a glowing heart and trailing entrails, forever hungry.
 

“From early mood edits to storyboards to the final cut, we worked closely with the Dead by Daylight marketing team to balance beauty with the raw brutality that defines this chapter.”

 
“Using BHVR’s concept art and story as a foundation, we reimagined the designs in a stylized, illustrative aesthetic, creating a distinct visual identity tailored for cinematic storytelling.

“From early mood edits to storyboards to the final cut, we worked closely with the Dead by Daylight marketing team to balance beauty with the raw brutality that defines this chapter, and the franchise. The result? Horror, folklore, and gore, perfectly fused for a killer debut you won’t forget.”
