Freddy Krueger joins survival horror game Dead by Daylight

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

Starting today the one and only Freddy Krueger is now a playable character in the survival horror game DEAD BY DAYLIGHT.

As you may recall, the game has already added such horror heavyweights as Michael Myers and Leatherface to their line-up so snatching up Freddy seemed like a no-brainer.

That said, is it just me or does the Freddy they chose to include look more like the Jackie Earle Haley Freddy than the classic Robert Englund Freddy? Strange choice… but maybe it's just me.

Dead by Daylight Freddy rundown:

Starbreeze Publishing together with Behaviour Digital are today releasing the iconic character Freddy Krueger as a killer in the asymmetrical horror smash-hit Dead by Daylight. A Nightmare on Elm Street™ is a classic tale of horror where players get to wield Freddy Krueger’s classic glove and claw as a primary weapon. Freddy’s new power, “Dream Demon” will play a trick on Survivors as they fall asleep and becomes trapped in Freddy’s never-ending Nightmare. Quentin Smith is the Chapter’s new Survivor – a young man with an urge to stay awake as he knows what happens if he goes to bed – pills and energy drinks are frequently consumed to avoid death. Freddy and Quentin will fight it out at Badham Preschool – the place where Freddy was shaped into the revenge seeking Killer he is now, and the place where Quentin faces true terror.
 
The new Chapter will be available for $6,99 on PC through Steam and other digital distribution channels starting today, and will soon be made available on XBOX One and PlayStation 4®.
 
Available for $6,99, A Nightmare on Elm Street Chapter includes:
1 New Killer + Perks and Power – Freddy Krueger
1 New Survivor + Perks – Quentin Smith
1 New Map – Springwood: Badham Preschool
