Dead by Daylight Chucky Leaving: Removal Date, Sale, and Perk Changes

Behaviour Interactive has confirmed that the Chucky Chapter is leaving Dead by Daylight stores permanently on November 24, 2026 at 11am Eastern Time. The chapter has been in the game for roughly three years, but the window to buy it is closing fast. This guide covers the exact cutoff, every platform's sale window, what happens to Chucky's three perks after the removal, and what you actually need to do before the deadline.

Chucky in the Killer roster

When exactly does Chucky leave DBD stores?

The cutoff is 11am Eastern Time on Tuesday, November 24, 2026. That is not midnight, and it is not the end of the business day. Behaviour's official FAQ is specific about the morning deadline, so completing any intended purchase before the final day is the safer move.

Here's the deadline converted across time zones for November 24:

The removal date is not tied to a new patch. The current live build as of this guide's check is Patch 10.2.2. Store availability and gameplay changes are separate things.

What's the last-chance sale discount and when does it start?

Behaviour is running a 50% discount on the Chucky Chapter, dropping the price from $4.99 to $2.49. The sale start dates differ by platform, so check the right window for your storefront.

The official FAQ confirms the 50% figure but does not publish a cosmetic-by-cosmetic price breakdown. Check the actual item listing on your platform store once the relevant window opens, especially if you already own part of the collection.

Can you still play Chucky after November 24?

Yes, if you own him before the deadline. Behaviour's FAQ is explicit: any content unlocked before November 24 remains fully playable after the store removal. That includes:

• Playing Chucky in standard matches and 2v8 modes
• Continuing to level him up in the Bloodweb
• Obtaining his Add-Ons with Bloodpoints
• Earning all three Prestige Cosmetics and three Perk Charms through progression
• Completing Character Quests

The mistake most players make here is treating the removal like a content wipe. It is not. The store closes; your owned content does not disappear. There is also no emergency grind required before the deadline. Prestige rewards remain earnable for owners after November 24.

One item worth checking separately is the Good Guys Box Charm, which the official Chucky Chapter page describes as exclusive to the DLC add-on purchase. If that charm is your reason for buying, verify the exact add-on listing before assuming any purchase route includes it.

What happens to Chucky's perks when he leaves?

Here's the short answer: Chucky's three perks are not disappearing. Behaviour is renaming them and moving them into the General perk pool, where any Killer can unlock them regardless of owning the Chucky Chapter.

Owners of Chucky keep the original licensed names and flavour text in his Bloodweb. Non-owners will see the renamed versions in the General pool.

The practical implication: do not buy Chucky solely to secure access to his perks. Non-owners will have a route to all three perks through the General pool after November 24. Buy him if you want to play the character.

For a deeper look at how these perks fit into broader Killer builds, the Dead by Daylight perks explained guide covers the full perk pool with tier breakdowns and build recommendations.

What is Chucky's kit in DBD?

Chucky entered the game as the 44th Killer, voiced by Brad Dourif who has played the character across eight films and a three-season television series. He is notable for being the first Killer in Dead by Daylight to use a third-person camera.

His power, Playtime's Over, centers on Hidey-Ho Mode: Chucky becomes Undetectable and generates map-wide Illusionary Footfalls to disorient Survivors, with a cooldown after use. While in Hidey-Ho Mode, he has access to two additional abilities:

• Scamper: slips under a downed pallet or through a window to close distance quickly
• Slice & Dice: a sprint and lunge that can chain directly into Scamper if a Survivor tries to vault near him

His small stature makes him genuinely difficult to spot, though his slower movement speed is the trade-off. He received nerfs shortly after launch, then further tuning to compensate.

What about achievements, refunds, and cross-progression?

Behaviour's FAQ addresses three common questions:

Achievements: Chucky-related achievements become generic rather than character-specific after the removal. Completed achievements stay recognised and current progress is retained.

Refunds: No refunds will be issued because of this removal, since purchased Chucky content remains playable. This is the developer's stated position; individual platform refund policies are separate.

Cross-progression: Previously unlocked content stays unlocked when you cross-progress accounts. This applies to content you already own, not content you never purchased.

Why is Chucky leaving Dead by Daylight?

Behaviour's published FAQ gives no reason. No contract length, rights dispute, or negotiation outcome is confirmed. Community theories exist, but none have been verified by Behaviour. The confirmed facts are the store removal date and the continued access for existing owners. A future return is not announced.

What should you do before November 24?

The right action depends entirely on your situation:

• Already own Chucky and his cosmetics: No action needed. Progression, Prestige rewards, and Add-Ons remain fully available.
• Want to play Chucky but do not own him: Use your platform's sale window above and complete the purchase before 11am ET on November 24.
• Only interested in his perks: Wait. The General pool route means non-owners are not permanently locked out of Hex: Eye For An Eye, One Track Mind, or Gaining Steam.
• Own Chucky but want a specific cosmetic: Treat that as a separate store decision with the same November 24 cutoff. Owning the Killer does not preserve an indefinite shopping window for his outfits.
• Want the Good Guys Box Charm: Check the exact add-on listing before purchasing, as the Charm is described as exclusive to the DLC.
