May 24, 2026 - 01:31

The long wait for horror fans is over. After years of fan requests and speculation, Jason Voorhees is officially coming to Dead by Daylight. Behaviour Interactive confirmed the iconic slasher's arrival as part of the game's 10-year anniversary celebrations. The announcement came with a trailer showing Jason stalking through the fog, machete in hand, ready to add survivors to his long list of victims.

While details on his specific abilities are still under wraps, the trailer suggests a brutal, relentless playstyle true to the character. Jason will join the ranks of other legendary horror figures already in the game, including Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, and Leatherface. His addition fills a major gap that fans have pointed out for years, as he was one of the most requested killers since the game launched.

The announcement marks a significant licensing achievement for Behaviour Interactive. Securing the rights to Jason Voorhees has been a complicated process due to legal disputes surrounding the Friday the 13th franchise in recent years. With this deal, players can finally experience the terror of being hunted by Camp Crystal Lake's most famous resident. A full gameplay reveal is expected soon, along with details on a new map and survivor content tied to the chapter.
