Dead by Daylight studio open to a Five Nights at Freddy’s crossover

"Never say never!"

Since Dead by Daylight released in 2016, we’ve seen so many horror crossovers. The most recent one was when the Xenomorph from Alien was incorporated into the asymmetrical survival game. Now, developer Behaviour Interactive seems eager to join up with the Five Nights universe.

In a recent Reddit AMA conducted by the studio (as spotted by The Gamer), several members of the team take turns to answer some burning questions from fans. One of them comes from user NasserMX who asks whether Five Nights at Freddy‘s will ever make its way to Dead by Daylight.

While the answer isn’t a definitive yes or no, Behaviour’s own Senior Creative Director, Dave Richard, says to “never say never!” Not much can be read from this statement, but a few Reddit users posting below seem excited about the possibility of the two franchises coming together.

Imagine running away from The Puppet

Since time immemorial (well…seven years ago), Dead by Daylight has made a name for itself with numerous crossovers. We’ve seen Silent Hill‘s Pyramid Head, Freddy Krueger, Bill from Left 4 Dead, Resident Evil 3‘s Nemesis, and more horror villains make an appearance.

We obviously don’t know whether the team will bring the creepy animatronics from Five Nights at Freddy‘s over. However, it does sound like the studio is keen on the idea. The smash hit spooky series is still going, though it’s not as popular as it once was. A film adaptation of FNaF is currently in the pipeline and due to release October 27.
