A recent rumor posted on 4chan has revealed that Dead by Daylight (DBD) might not be collaborating with some of the most highly requested franchises. According to the leak, licensing issues and strategic decisions by rights holders have created significant roadblocks for including characters from Predator, Five Nights at Freddy’s, and Friday the 13th in the popular multiplayer horror game.
Predator Collaboration Not Happening
The 4chan post claims that Disney, the current owner of the Predator franchise, is not satisfied with the sales performance of the Alien chapter released in Dead by Daylight in 2023. Due to this disappointment, Disney has decided against pursuing a collaboration for Predator. This news is particularly disheartening for fans who have long anticipated the inclusion of this iconic character in the game.
Five Nights at Freddy’s on Hold
Similarly, the rumor suggests that a collaboration with Five Nights at Freddy’s (FNAF) is unlikely to materialize. Behaviour Interactive, the developer of Dead by Daylight, has reportedly faced difficulties in negotiating with Scott Cawthon, the creator of FNAF. These complications have led to a standstill, preventing any progress on bringing characters from the popular horror series into the game.
Jason Voorhees Not Joining Due to Competitive Concerns
Jason Voorhees, the infamous killer from the Friday the 13th franchise, also appears to be off the table for Dead by Daylight. The rights holders of the Friday the 13th series are reportedly concerned about competition from Dead by Daylight, especially with a new multiplayer game for Friday the 13th in development. To avoid giving an edge to a competing title, they have decided not to allow Jason Voorhees to appear in Dead by Daylight.
New Alien Movie: Alien Romulus
Amidst these licensing challenges, fans of the Alien franchise have something to look forward to. The new Alien movie, titled “Alien Romulus,” is set to release soon. This upcoming film promises to expand the beloved sci-fi horror universe, continuing the legacy of tension and terror that fans have come to expect. While the Alien chapter in Dead by Daylight may not have met Disney’s expectations, the excitement surrounding “Alien Romulus” suggests that the franchise still holds a strong place in the hearts of its audience.
These rumors highlight the complexities and challenges that come with licensing and collaborations in the gaming industry. While Dead by Daylight fans may be disappointed by the absence of Predator, Five Nights at Freddy’s, and Jason Voorhees, the game’s developers continue to explore new opportunities and content to keep the community engaged. As always, it’s important to take such rumors with a grain of salt until official announcements are made.
