Stranger Things marked a turning point for Dead by Daylight because it allowed the game to be introduced to a large audience, which in fact from that collaboration onward has managed to expand enormously by collaborating no longer only with 80s slashers but also with video games, manga, and movies.
In fact, for those who do not know, Stranger Things is the successful Netflix series whose fifth season is coming soon. Set in the 1980s in the fictional town of Hawkins, Indiana, and partly in the world of "Underworld." The beginning of the series centers on the mysterious disappearance of a child named Will and the appearance of Eleven, a shaven-haired child with telekinetic powers who has escaped from a secret laboratory, Hawkins National Laboratory.

Almost all of the events that occur throughout the story are closely connected to the Underworld, a dark dimension parallel to our world, populated by monstrous creatures such as the Demogorgon.
After several hints on socials that started about three months before the official announcement, Dead by Daylight and Stranger Things collaborated in 2019, bringing Steve, Nancy, the Demogorgon and the famous Hawkins Laboratory map into the Behaviour Interactive game.
In 2021, however, it was announced that Stranger Things would be leaving Dead by Daylight by the end of the year, thus removing the ability to purchase the DLC but also to find the map during matches, news that was taken very badly by the community.
Last year, however, I told you about the fact that in fact apparently, Stranger Things might return with an overhauled map, along with also the old characters but also with a Chapter 2 with Vecna, were in fact found assets of the new map in the works:
There were also, socials clues about the Dead by Daylight and Netflix accounts that suggested that indeed maybe something was moving:
Now comes yet another clue, however, because it has been discovered that in the developers test build, the Stranger Things map has been re-enabled, and I remind you that a licensed chapter is coming in November.
Could Stranger Things be the year-end surprise?
The rehabilitation of the map means that the developers are probably working on some Stranger Things contents, otherwise it would not make sense to re-enable it, whether this content will arrive soon or not is uncertain at the moment, however, it is positive news for all fans of the famous Netflix TV series.
