Dead by Daylight’s Five Nights at Freddy’s Crossover Unleashes Springtrap This Week
Dead by Daylight fans, get ready — the long-awaited Five Nights at Freddy’s (FNAF) crossover is finally here, bringing new chills to the fog. This highly-anticipated update goes live on June 17, and players across platforms can jump in starting at 8 a.m. PT / 11 a.m. ET — though Behaviour Interactive warns release times could shift slightly depending on your system.
The star of this collab? None other than Springtrap — the infamous killer from the FNAF universe. Players can also explore a haunting new map inspired by Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza, complete with its creepy atmosphere and nods to the original game.
Ahead of launch, Behaviour dropped a fresh cinematic trailer to build hype. In it, we see Springtrap stalking Survivors through the eerie pizzeria, as Meg Thomas desperately tries to use security cameras to outsmart the killer. Spoiler: it doesn’t end well for Meg — echoing her unlucky fate in past crossover trailers, like the one featuring Resident Evil’s Nemesis.
Dead by Daylight has teamed up with horror legends before — from Scream to Hellraiser — but this FNAF collab might be the biggest yet. The sheer size and passion of the FNAF fanbase could introduce a wave of new players to the asymmetrical horror hit.
For longtime fans, Springtrap feels like a natural fit among Dead by Daylight’s roster of terrifying killers. Early impressions from patch notes and trailers suggest Behaviour has stayed true to both FNAF’s eerie charm and Dead by Daylight’s heart-pounding gameplay.
The update is set to drop:
- 8 a.m. PT
- 9 a.m. CT
- 11 a.m. ET
(Exact availability may vary slightly depending on your platform.)
Bottom line: The Dead by Daylight x Five Nights at Freddy’s crossover looks set to deliver plenty of frights. Whether you’re a longtime Killer main or a newcomer drawn in by FNAF, June 17 promises to be a date to remember.
