For those unfamiliar with Friday the 13th, the series is one of the most iconic franchises in horror history. First released in 1980, the original film introduced Jason Voorhees as the infamous slasher who terrorizes Camp Crystal Lake. While the original film primarily centers on Jason’s mother, Pamela Voorhees, it is Jason who becomes the symbol of the franchise, donning his signature hockey mask from the third movie onward. Across over a dozen films, Jason has become one of the most recognizable villains in horror cinema.
Despite Jason’s immense popularity, the Friday the 13th franchise has been legally entangled for over a decade. A legal battle between Victor Miller, the screenwriter of the original 1980 film, and Sean S. Cunningham, the film’s director, has resulted in the halting of new Friday the 13th content. Miller eventually won the rights to the original screenplay in a lawsuit, but this dispute has made it incredibly difficult to develop new films, TV shows, or games for the franchise since the 2009 reboot.
This legal limbo has left fans starved for new Friday the 13th content. With the success of Dead by Daylight bringing other iconic horror characters into the multiplayer survival game, fans have long speculated about Jason Voorhees joining the roster. Now, with the recent interaction from the official Friday the 13th marketing account, it seems more possible than ever.
Adding Jason to Dead by Daylight would be a significant milestone. The game has become a platform for horror crossovers, featuring characters from Halloween, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Scream, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and many more. If Jason were to join, it would be a major victory for fans, especially after years of waiting through legal delays.
Jason Voorhees has already made his way into other video games, including Multiversus, and according to recent leaks, he is also expected to arrive in Fortnite soon. With his appearance in these major titles, it seems increasingly likely that Jason could make his way to Dead by Daylight as well. Given the game’s history of adding iconic horror characters and the recent buzz sparked by the Friday the 13th marketing account, Jason’s inclusion in Dead by Daylight feels like the next logical step in his digital resurgence.
For now, fans can only speculate about the potential collaboration, but this interaction has certainly breathed new life into the dream of seeing Jason Voorhees in Dead by Daylight. Time will tell if this fan-favorite killer will finally make his grand entrance into the world of Dead by Daylight, but the signs are promising.
