November 6 isStranger ThingsDay. Canonically, this is the date that season one of the Netflix show opens on. It’s a big deal for die hard fans of the show, and Behaviour Interactivefigures it’s as good a reason as any for anotherDead by DaylightandStranger Thingscrossover.
It was August 2019 thatthe first collaboration occurred betweenDead by DaylightandStranger Things. Known a theStranger ThingsChapter, it consisted of two new survivors, a new killer, a new map, and a batch of cosmetics. It quickly became a fan favorite amongst theDead by Daylightaudience. And now, like a horror villain that just won’t die, it’s back.
The new killer added to the survival game was the infamous, and horrific, Demogorgon. Much like in the show, it was terrifying to see it scurry around the map and lunge at the survivors with its gaping maw and vicious claws. It also has the ability to move around Hawkins National Laboratory via portals which added to both its versatility and potential for jump scares.
The two survivors added to the game were Nancy Wheeler and Steve Harrington. The duo were playable on a new map within theStranger ThingsChapter, the Hawkins National Laboratory: Undergound Complex. As you’re able to see in the above trailer, it has a sinister and ominous feel to its halls. A perfect replication of what fans experience when viewing the show.
In addition to the survivors, killer, and map, all of the prior cosmetics will be making their return to theDead by Daylightin-game store. The Jonathan Byers outfit is an alternative skin that can be applied. As well as Steve’s Scoops Ahoy outfit from season two.
All of theStranger ThingsChapter content is available now inDead by Daylight. Behaviour Interactive didn’t specify how long the DLC would be available. So if you’re interested in running through the depths of Hawkins as one of the show’s heroes, pick it up while you can.
