A brand-new collaboration between Dead by Daylight and Assassin’s Creed Shadows has just been announced, with the full reveal set for May 27. While no concrete details have been shared yet, the partnership is already sparking excitement across both communities, especially as it could open the door to a wide range of crossover possibilities.
What Is Assassin’s Creed Shadows?
Assassin’s Creed Shadows is the latest installment in Ubisoft’s long-running Assassin’s Creed franchise, set to release later this year. The game will transport players to feudal Japan, a setting that fans have requested for years, and will feature dual protagonists: a stealthy shinobi and a powerful samurai. The game promises to blend traditional Assassin’s Creed gameplay—stealth, parkour, and historical storytelling—with a unique cultural backdrop and fresh mechanics that reflect its setting.
The Assassin’s Creed franchise itself began in 2007 and has since become one of the most iconic video game series of all time. Known for its rich historical settings, intricate plots involving the Assassins vs. Templars conflict, and memorable protagonists like Ezio Auditore and Bayek, the series continues to evolve with each new title.
What Could the Collaboration Include?
Behaviour Interactive has previously teamed up with other major franchises through Dead by Daylight, often delivering in-game content that ranges from charms to full character skins. For instance, a past collaboration with For Honor resulted in an exclusive charm, while a crossover with The Witcher introduced a legendary skin and other cosmetics.
With this in mind, the Assassin’s Creed Shadows collaboration could potentially include a new charm inspired by the franchise’s iconic symbols, such as the Assassin’s insignia or a hidden blade. There’s also speculation that we might see a legendary skin for one of the killers or survivors, perhaps styled after one of Shadows’ dual protagonists or another well-known Assassin’s Creed character.
In the teaser announcement video, you can see two Dead by Daylight characters sitting around a campfire in the background, wearing outfits inspired by the characters from Assassin’s Creed Shadows. This suggests that the collaboration will bring new skins to Dead by Daylight.

Why It Matters
This crossover represents a meeting of two vastly different gaming worlds—one focused on strategic horror and multiplayer survival, and the other on narrative-driven stealth and exploration. However, both share a love for rich lore and iconic characters, which makes the collaboration particularly compelling.
Fans won’t have to wait long to find out what’s in store—May 27 is just around the corner, and Behaviour Interactive is known for putting together exciting content drops. Whether it’s a new skin, charm, or something even more surprising, the upcoming Dead by Daylight x Assassin’s Creed Shadows crossover is sure to be one of the most talked-about gaming moments this month.
Stay tuned for the official reveal, and let the speculation begin.
