In a surprising announcement, Dead by Daylight has announced they will be collaborating with Five Nights at Freddy’s (FNAF) for a crossover event set for Summer 2025.

While many rumours and speculations hinted at a potential Fortnite collaboration due to a massive update released today and numerous pictures depicting FNAF character models, the official confirmation on Dead by Dalight’s Twitter crushed the fan base’s hope for a Halloween theme celebration with FNAF.

Regardless, the Dead by Daylight and Five Nights at Freddy’s crossover is still a year away, and it could mean better or worse as the developers have time to bring unique gameplay elements from FNAF and expand the game’s horror universe, keeping it fresh and engaging for players.

What Can Players Expect From the Dead by Daylight X FNAF Collab?

Firstly, this crossover will introduce content from FNAF to Dead by Daylight in the summer of 2025, likely featuring a new “Killer” character from FNAF. In addition, we can expect the game to integrate elements from the popular horror game into the asymmetrical multiplayer experience.

Unfortunately, specific details are still under wraps until we get closer to the date. However, it did not stop speculations from flooding in, with fans anticipating a potential Toreador March from Carmen appearance, alongside Springtrap or Freddy himself as a killer. If that is the case, we can expect the killers to have abilities inspired by animatronics’ unique traits, like sudden jumpscares or environmental manipulation.

In addition, with the picture of the collaboration showing “The Dark Mist” or “The Black Fog”, players are anticipating a new trial featuring FNAF elements, which often take place in confined, eerie locations like security offices, abandoned pizzerias, or decrepit locations, which create a sense of claustrophobia and unease.

Lastly, players are speculating on FNAF-themed skins, cosmetics, and possibly even weapons with animatronic-themed outfits and skins.
