I think the most famous aspect of the asymmetrical horror game Dead by Daylight is the crossovers it makes with other horror series and iconic characters. A significant number of the playable characters in the game already come from popular horror productions, including Halloween, Nightmare on Elm Street, Left 4 Dead. Stranger Things also existed at the time, but then this crossover was removed from the game.
When the Stranger Things crossover was removed, characters such as Steve Harrington and Nancy Wheeler became unbuyable, and only players who purchased the expansion could use them. This was due to the termination of the contract between Netflix and Behavior Interactive.
Now, with the new season of Stranger Things, this collaboration has come up again. Netflix has once again expressed its desire to contact Behavior and bring Stranger Things back to Dead by Daylight. Not only the previous characters, but also Vecna, which we see in the new season, will come to Dead by Daylight.
The characters in the original Dead by Daylight Stranger Things expansion are among the most popular characters in the game, so let’s see if Vecna can also settle with them at the popularity level.
