Two iconic and popular modern video game horror franchises are finally crossing over: Dead by Daylight and Five Nights at Freddy’s. However, the collaboration won’t arrive until Summer 2025, so fans will be waiting for a while.
The Dead by Daylight Twitter account posted the announcement but didn’t provide any other details about what the crossover would entail–just the Summer 2025 release window. A few hours before the announcement, Five Nights at Freddy’s creator Scott Cawthon teased the collaboration and fans were speculating that it was going to involve Fortnite.

Five Nights at Freddy’s hits its 10-year anniversary this week, so an announcement of this magnitude definitely has the fans excited. As for what the collaboration will bring, Freddy Fazbear could be added as a new killer, while a Freddy Fazebear’s Pizza restaurant could be a new map, just to name a few some-what obvious possibilities.
Dead by Daylight has had many collaborations with a variety of different properties, including Tomb Raider, Dungeons and Dragons, and Castlevania.
Unfortunately, developer Behavior Interactive laid off almost 100 employees from the studio earlier this year, continuing the video game industry’s brutal wave of layoffs.
