Dead by Daylight released its Tools of Torment mid-chapter update on March 7, 2023. This is the 27th chapter of the game, which was introduced as downloadable content (DLC) and featured two more survivors and a killer.

The developers are constantly trying to balance the game and provide a fair and competitive experience to both the survivors and the killers. They have implemented multiple changes after receiving feedback from the community using the PTB servers and will release them to the live servers with patch 6.7.0.
