BeHaviour has just announced Dead By Daylight Stranger Things Chapter 2. The Chapter is set to release in January, although it was originally planned for November. The teaser doesn’t show much, but it at least confirms that Vecna is the Killer.

Alongside Vecna, there will be two Survivors. Unfortunately, we don’t know who these Survivors are, and there are no clues in the brief teaser. The first collaboration with Stranger Things was in 2019, and it starred Nancy Wheeler and Steve Harrington against the Demogorgon.

Many fans predicted a second collaboration with Stranger Things, but rumours also circulated about a potential collaboration with Predator. While it’s disappointing we’re not getting Predator, leaks say it is “lined up since Alien,” so it could still happen in Year 11.

Before the Netflix series steps into The Fog again, Dead By Daylight is celebrating Christmas with its annual Bone Chill event. Nothing is official yet, but leaks reveal a bunch of new skins, including fresh ugly sweaters and Ghost Face dressed up as Santa Claus.

As for beyond Stranger Things Chapter 2, leaks show that the March Survivor is still coming, despite BeHaviour suggesting it might be cancelled. Leaks also reveal concept art for a female muscular wrestler that looks suspiciously like WWE’s Rhea Ripley, and it’s expected she may land debut after The Grimoire.

Even though Year 10 is crippled by delays, it is arguably BeHaviour’s best year yet. Five Nights At Freddy’s quickly became Dead By Daylight’s biggest Chapter ever, and it’s extremely likely Stranger Things Chapter 2 will take the crown back.
