Kaneki’s Transformation into a Relentless Killer
In the Tokyo Ghoul universe, Kaneki was an ordinary student until a fateful accident led to him receiving a ghoul organ transplant, turning him into a half-ghoul. Struggling to maintain his humanity while being forced to consume human flesh to survive, Kaneki endured immense suffering, including brutal torture at the hands of a ghoul known as Jason. Pushed to the brink, he emerged with newfound strength—but at the cost of his sanity.
In this Dead by Daylight chapter, Kaneki, after surviving Jason’s torment, is consumed by the dark mist and unleashed into the Entity’s realm. He embraces his ghoul instincts, his hunger and brutality knowing no bounds. This version of Kaneki is a ruthless predator, his deadly power fully realized, making him a nightmare for all survivors.

The Ghoul’s Ultimate Weapon: Kagune Tentacles
Kaneki’s signature ability, The Ghoul’s Kagune Tentacles, turns him into a terrifying force of nature. With this skill, he can launch tentacle attacks from his back, allowing him to move swiftly across the map and ambush survivors.
Additionally, when he successfully lands an attack, he enters Enraged Mode, significantly boosting his strength, ferocity, and speed. Survivors will be under constant pressure, forced to stay on high alert as Kaneki relentlessly hunts them down. Those unfortunate enough to fall victim to his Memento Mori execution will witness his ghoul nature in its most terrifying form—devouring human flesh before their very eyes.
