Dead by Daylight's New Update Brings Back the Twins, Patch Notes Revealed

A new update went live in Dead by Daylight today, bringing the game up to version 7.6.1. Players can expect to see several changes as a result, including the return of the Twins. The Twins were removed from the game earlier this month, but the new update has seen them re-enabled. The Twins don't see a ton of use in Dead by Daylight, but it's good to see fans of the killer will be able to use them again. Outside of the Twins being re-enabled, today's update largely focuses on bug fixes. Full patch notes from the game's official website can be found below:
