Summary
Dead by Daylightis getting an unexpected collaboration with a 2010 horror game calledNaughty Bear. The game is well-known for creating an in-game universe that includes the likes of horror icons Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, and Ghostface. It is also home to original killers inspired by pop-culture icons and characters. However, the game gets much attention whenever it introduces more famous monsters, such as the recent addition of theAlien chapter inDead by Daylight.
It’s not always playable characters that are added to the game as sometimes, it could be as simple as charms and accessories for players. There have been some collaborations that resulted in various alternate looks and costumes such as whenDead by Daylight’s Crypt TV collectionwas released, which gave several existing killers new skins which completely changed their visuals to mimic the characters from Crypt TV. While not fairly common, new skin collections are usually reserved for more recent IPs. That might not be the case now as Dead by Daylight might be introducing a costume that came from 2010.
