Archive, Rift, & Tome Information

This brand-new feature aims to deepen every player’s Dead by Daylight experience by continuously bringing new fun and exciting content into the Fog. Discover the secrets of The Entity and The Observer through a new Tome and time-limited Rift every Mid-Chapter.

Witness the Auris, a device capable of peering into the memories of those who’ve entered the Fog. Through it, the mysterious Observer grants players access to a series of Challenges to help them piece together these memories and his overall role. In Tome I: Awakening, players will discover stories of their favorite characters, including Claudette Morel and The Trapper.

Complete new and Master Challenges to progress further in the Tome and its associated Rift. Each Tome is separated into several Levels, each containing a new layout for the Auris Web with more Challenges, lore Entries, Bloodpoints, and Rift Fragments. Collect all the lore Entries for specific Memories or Logs to receive a special reward.

Each Tome will always be accompanied by a new Rift, a tear in space-time containing a multitude of rewards from other worlds and memories. These time-limited rewards can be earned simply by playing the game and completing Challenges. In addition, Tome I introduces Charms, a brand new cosmetic available only in The Rift. You may earn rewards through the free track, or the premium paid track (1000 Auric Cells or approximately $10 USD).

Developer Live Q&A October 30th, 2019

Archives Q&A (Forums)

Q: Will items on The Rift become available for purchase after the rift expires? And if so, will they only be available for Auric Cells?

Some of the items on The Rift will be purchasable after The Rift closes. We are still discussing internally how we would like to handle this. We would like to make it as fair as possible to everybody (people who have earned them, people who didn't have a chance to earn them).

Q: Is the lore in The Archives going to be videos, or text, or both? And will lore from Rift 1 still be available to view/read when a new Rift opens?

Both. All lore is held in Tomes, not The Rift. Tomes remain active forever; you can complete old ones at any time to unlock their lore. Old Tomes will not grant Rift Fragments to future Rifts, however.

Q: Since Putrid Serum is found in The Rift this year, does that mean we can collect it until the next Rift? Or will Putrid Serum be removed from The Rift after the Withered Blight ends?

Putrid Serum will remain in The Rift until it closes.

Q: What happens when rift closed? Will you update in this date or will be closed until the next update?

No update is required for a Rift to close, much like how new store content does not require and update each week.

Q: Why was the PTB's rift a little over 50 days when the rifts are supposed to last 70 days?

The date in The Rift on the PTB does not accurately reflect the actual end date. This is purely for testing purposes. It will last 70 days when the update goes live following the PTB.

Q: If I start making progress on the free track, then later decide to switch to the premium track, will the premium items from the levels I already unlocked be available?

Yes, you'll receive all of the premium track rewards from the tiers you have completed the instant you buy the premium pass. You do not need to purchase the pass right away to get all of the rewards; you can hold off until you feel comfortable with the rewards you'll receive.
