November 6 is Stranger Things Day. 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 Interactive figures it’s as good a reason as any for another Dead by Daylight and Stranger Things crossover.
It was August 2019 that the first collaboration occurred between Dead by Daylight and Stranger Things. Known a the Stranger Things Chapter, it consisted of two new survivors, a new killer, a new map, and a batch of cosmetics. It quickly became a fan favorite amongst the Dead by Daylight audience. 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 the Stranger Things Chapter, the Hawkins National Laboratory: Undergound Complex. As you can 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 the Dead by Daylight in-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 the Stranger Things Chapter content is available now in Dead 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.
