Dead by Daylight is set to launch an exciting collaboration with the popular horror franchise Five Nights at Freddy’s on June 17th. Players can access the new content starting at various times: 8 a.m. PT, 9 a.m. CT, and 11 a.m. ET, although slight variations may occur depending on the gaming platform.
To build anticipation, Behaviour Interactive has released a captivating trailer showcasing the terrifying Springtrap character as he stalks Survivors on a new map inspired by the infamous Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza. This cinematic presentation builds excitement ahead of the gameplay reveal, even though it lacks direct gameplay footage. The trailer highlights moments of tension, especially featuring Meg Thomas, who struggles against Springtrap—a trend noted by fans since she also faced hardships in past collaborations, such as against Nemesis from Resident Evil.
Over the years, Dead by Daylight has successfully integrated numerous horror elements, collaborating with franchises like Hellraiser, Scream, Attack on Titan, and Tokyo Ghoul. However, the enthusiasm surrounding the Five Nights at Freddy’s collaboration is particularly noteworthy, due to the dedicated fan base that might drive new players to the game.
The anticipation for the new content indicates it may resonate positively with both existing fans of Dead by Daylight and newcomers from the Five Nights at Freddy’s community. This collaboration aims to stay true to the essence of both games, and many players hope it will deliver a thrilling experience when it becomes available. As excitement builds, players are eager to see how this crossover unfolds, especially in the context of gameplay dynamics.
