Dead by Daylight Devs Eye Iconic Horror Characters for Future Updates

The pioneer of asymmetrical horror games, Dead by Daylight, keeps developing its horrifying universe. The game continues to be the top destination for horror fans with the highly anticipated Five Nights at Freddy’s crossover, which will be released on June 17 and feature Springtrap and a terrifying new pizzeria map.

However, Behaviour Interactive is not content to stop there. The game’s development team has revealed intriguing predictions about what the future may bring.

Dead by Daylight Eyes the Future: What’s Next After the FNAF Update?

What Can We Expect from Springtrap?

One of the most well-known characters from the FNAF series, Springtrap, will be included in the next update. Players will be able to explore a spooky pizzeria with him, which is ideal for the game’s gloomy mood.

Fans of both franchises will be pleased by this crossover, which also solidifies Dead by Daylight’s dedication to incorporating recognizable horror characters into its world.

The Wish to Deliver “The Thing”

Including The Thing in the game is one of Killer Designer Jason Guzzo’s personal objectives. His enthusiasm demonstrates how seriously the team takes pushing the boundaries of creativity, even though it hasn’t been officially confirmed.

The Thing’s shapeshifting ability would introduce novel gameplay mechanics that would force developers to be creative while maintaining the horror element.

Additional Horror Icons for the Wish List

Dave Richard, the creative director, made a suggestion that the team regularly discusses characters like Pennywise.

He wants to go even farther, though, saying that he hopes to acquire “all the kings of horror.” According to this prediction, Dead by Daylight’s already impressive cast of legendary villains may grow in the future.

Unexpected Murderers: Christine and Cujo?

Surprisingly, the developers also indicated that they would like to include killers that don’t fit the mold.

The team’s willingness to go to great lengths to make gameplay novel and unpredictable is demonstrated by concepts like Christine, the haunted car, and Cujo, the rabid dog.

The intention behind these unconventional ideas is to keep players both intrigued and frightened.

With new content that thrills and surprises players, Dead by Daylight is still evolving as it approaches its ninth anniversary.

The horror universe grows once more with the arrival of Springtrap and a Five Nights at Freddy’s-inspired map.

However, the developers’ aspirations—dreaming of fabled murderers and innovative concepts—are what guarantee that Dead by Daylight will always be a must-play for horror fans everywhere.
