Dead by Daylight Rumors: Jason Voorhees, Hannibal, Slenderman, FNaF Chapter Details, Halloween Cosmetics and More!

Rumors are swirling about upcoming chapters in Dead by Daylight, and while some of these may be fabricated, they’re certainly stirring up excitement. One of the most prominent whispers is that the December 2024 chapter will be called “Twisted by Nature”, though no specific details about the killer or survivor have been revealed.

Looking ahead, March 2025 might bring one of two iconic horror characters: The Grudge or Predator. Both franchises have strong fan followings and would make for terrifying additions to the game. Meanwhile, there’s also buzz about an upcoming collaboration with the infamous internet legend Slenderman, a character who terrorized players in the early 2010s with his unsettling presence and dark woods setting.

A major point of interest for many is the possibility of Hannibal Lecter or Jason Voorhees being added to the game. Allegedly, Dead by Daylight’s developers are in negotiations to secure the rights to one of these horror icons for an August 2025 chapter. Fans of these classic killers could finally see them stalking survivors in the Fog, adding another layer of fear and strategy. Following that, rumors suggest a Fatal Frame chapter might arrive in October 2025, tying into the eerie Japanese horror franchise known for its unique blend of ghost photography and survival horror.

Curiously, both IT and Persona were reportedly considered for collaborations with Dead by Daylight but were mysteriously canceled, leaving fans wondering what could have been. Additionally, some claim that the recent Alien chapter was rushed in production, leading to mixed reactions from the community. Another interesting claim is that the creators behind The Skull Merchant chapter were let go after the chapter faced heavy criticism, and this decision may have influenced future content development.

Additionally, The Dredge will receive a pumpkin-themed skin and The Unknown will be getting a Blighted skin for the upcoming Halloween event. And about Slenderman, whose potential power mechanics have been conceptually outlined. He may have a power similar to Pinhead, with tentacle-like abilities and the capability to teleport to generators. Survivors would have to collect pages in order to escape the alternate world he drags them into, similar to Freddy Krueger’s dream world.

Perhaps one of the most surprising rumors is that the highly anticipated Five Nights at Freddy’s (FNaF) chapter, expected to drop next year, was initially rejected by FNaF’s creator, Scott Cawthon, before finally being approved. Given FNaF’s massive fanbase, this collaboration is bound to be a major event when it finally launches.

So about the rumor for this collab, the killer will be Springtrap from FNaF 3, while the survivors will be Michael and Vanessa from the FNaF movie. The map will be a combination of iconic locations inspired by both the games and the film.

As for Jason Voorhees, the current idea for his chapter is to feature both a killer and a survivor, but without introducing a new map.
