Dead by Daylight Releases Unexpected Cherry Blossom Themed Gear

gamerant.com:

Survival horror game Dead by Daylight is not known for an abundance of brightly colored flowers. The game, in which groups of four Survivors must escape or evade a constantly moving Killer, primarily features a dim, dark color palette with characters wearing muted clothing to avoid detection. However, a recent update to Dead by Daylight added some surprisingly bright, floral clothing to the in-game store in celebration of hanami, Japan's cherry blossom viewing festival.

Recent updates to Dead by Daylight have been heavily focused on all things Japan. The game's most recent update, entitled Sadako Rising, added as a playable Killer the titular vengeful ghost from popular horror film franchise Ringu, translated in English as The Ring. Sadako is the third Dead by Daylight killer inspired by Japanese mythology, following «The Spirit» Rin Yamaoka and «The Oni» Kazan Yamaoka. In addition to Sadako herself, the character Yoichi Asakawa was added as a playable Survivor. Yoichi's abilities include allowing him to locate and help injured Survivors and quickly escape from Killers.

Hanami, which literally translates to «flower viewing,» refers to a series of events throughout March, April and early May in which Japanese people enjoy the natural beauty of blooming cherry blossom trees. Dead by Daylight'shanami celebration includes the addition of three new Very Rare outfits to the in-game store: Traditional Yozakura for killer Rin Yamaoka, Springtime Special for survivor Jane Romero, and Weekend Teatime for survivor Yui Kimura.
