Dead by Daylight is adding Jason Voorhees of Friday the 13th fame. The 4v1 asymmetrical horror game has a gallery of villains and monsters that rivals the Funko Pop shelf of any horror-obsessed fan, but it's featured one glaring omission for years now. The Camp Crystal Lake slasher is finally coming on June 16, Behaviour Interactive has revealed in a new trailer. When Dead by Daylight was first coming onto the scene, Jason was already in the process of getting his own game, Illfonic and Gun Media's Friday the 13th: The Game, and DBD wasn't yet full of licensed killers anyway. But today, DBD is more like spooky Fortnite, with famous monsters such as Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, a Xenomorph, and Pyramid Head. After the Jason game closed up shop due to a rights disagreement based on Hollywood contracts, the masked killer was left without a home. But lately, we've seen him appear in places like Call of Duty and Fortnite, so it seemed like only a matter of time before he popped up in horror's one-stop shop. June 16th will be that day. Look for more on the crossover soon.
