Anniversary Chapters

Over the years, the moniker Anniversary Chapter established itself in the Community and refers to the first Chapter of the new Dead by Daylight Year, releasing around the game's Anniversary:

Chapter	Anniversary	Year
CHAPTER 5: A Lullaby for the Dark	1 Year Anniversary	2017
CHAPTER 8: Curtain Call	2 Year Anniversary	2018
CHAPTER 12: Ghost Face®	3 Year Anniversary	2019
CHAPTER 16: Silent Hill	Fourth Year Anniversary	2020
CHAPTER 20: Resident Evil™	Fifth Year Anniversary	2021
CHAPTER 24: Roots of Dread	Sixth Year Anniversary	2022
CHAPTER 28: End Transmission	Seventh Year Anniversary	2023
CHAPTER 32: Dungeons & Dragons	Eighth Year Anniversary	2024
CHAPTER 36: Five Nights at Freddy's	Ninth Year Anniversary	2025

The moniker does have the downside of increasing expectations towards the content of such a Chapter and leading to the Community to compare it with other Anniversary Chapters.
