I have been telling you since last year about a likely return of Stranger Things to Dead by Daylight thanks to some leaks regarding work by developers on an updated version of the Hawkins map whose assets were leaked:

Recently the excitement was rekindled thanks to the discovery of the reactivation of the Stranger Things map within the developers' build of the game:

And I had mentioned to you that the announcement would probably come today, Nov. 6, due to the fact that today is Stranger Things Day, and Netflix has also resumed collaboration with Fortnite where Eleven's skins were leaked, so it was very likely that the same would happen with Dead by Daylight:

Stranger Things marked a turning point for Dead by Daylight in 2019 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 "Upside Down."

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 Upside Down, 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.
