New Ken in Town
“The Ken Kaneki you know is gone, twisted by The Entity into an instrument of drawn-out death,” goes the introduction on the official game website.
There are three powers to contend with:
HEX: NOTHING BUT MISERY
“The ferocity of your bloodlust stirs the otherworldly forces of the Realm, awakening Hex Totems in your favor. Unleash a relentless assault on Survivors to hinder them in those crucial moments and close the gap when they’re most vulnerable.”
Damage a number of Survivors to turn a Dull Totem into a Hex: Totem. While the Hex is active, Survivors will become temporarily Hindered when hit with a Basic Attack.
FOREVER ENTWINED
“The pain you inflict spurs you on, bringing you that much closer to your next mouth-watering bite. Unleash damage upon your victims to quicken the time it takes to pick them up, drop them, and Hook them. Every second counts…”
Whenever a Survivor takes damage, gain a Token, up to a max of 8. For each Token, increase the speed you pick up, drop, and Hook Survivors.

When you Hook a Survivor for the first time, gain 1 token, up to 4. When all Generators are completed, for each token, all Windows and upright Pallets are blocked for a duration.
The abilities that are listed on the official Dead by Daylight website are as follows:
