Pinhead, known as The Cenobite, will no longer be available for purchase in the popular game Dead by Daylight starting April 4 at 11 a.m. ET. This decision was announced by the developer Behaviour Interactive, who, in a statement, commented: “He came and now he must go,” suggesting that the removal of the character could be due to the expiration of licenses, a common circumstance in games of this type.
You can still get it at a reduced price
Players who wish to acquire the Hellraiser content, which includes Pinhead, have the opportunity to do so with a 50% discount as a last resort, before the content is removed from the store. However, those who already own Pinhead and the related content will continue to have access to it even after its removal.
The removal of content due to licensing rights is not a new phenomenon in the realm of video games. In November 2021, Dead by Daylight removed its chapter based on Stranger Things from the store, although various sources indicate that this content could return in the future. This raises the possibility that the Hellraiser character, after its removal, may also have the chance to come back.
The status of Dead by Daylight as a live service game means that surprises and unexpected changes are part of the experience. Although Pinhead’s match is disappointing for fans of the character, players will have the opportunity to enjoy his skills and powers until the date of his removal. With the deadline in sight, the time to access this content is running out quickly.
