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&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Dead by Daylight | Jason | Official Trailer\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/YebqRYaTVNg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/games\/friday-the-13th-the-game\/\">Friday the 13th: The Game<\/a>, and DBD wasn&#8217;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 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/friday-the-13th-the-game-being-delisted-and-shut-down\/1100-6514944\/\">the Jason game closed up shop due to a rights disagreement based on Hollywood contracts<\/a>, the masked killer was left without a home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But lately, we&#8217;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&#8217;s one-stop shop. June 16th will be that day. Look for more on the crossover soon. <\/p>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gamespot.com\/articles\/dead-by-daylight-finally-adds-the-slasher-everyones-been-waiting-for\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dead by Daylight is adding Jason Voorhees of Friday the 13th fame.
