The journey of Netflix’s Stranger Things may have concluded last month, but Behaviour Interactive is just about to get started with the second chapter of the crossover with Dead by Daylight. Available now via the Steam Public Test Build, Dead by Daylight: Stranger Things Chapter 2 officially launches on PC and consoles on January 27, expanding The Fog’s roster of Hawkins characters with the arrivals of Eleven, Dustin Henderson, and Vecna himself, also known as The First.
Vecna, The First brings his dark powers to the game, allowing him to bend the world around him, manifesting and weaponizing the physical presence of the Upside Down within The Fog. Sinister vines lash out at the unsuspecting as Vecna disappears beneath the ground, reemerging to curse any within his path. The haunting chime of grandfather clocks scattered across the Map may be the Survivors’ only salvation…
Meanwhile, on the Survivors’ side, the iconic Jane “Eleven” Hopper and Dustin Henderson join the fight alongside the first chapter’s Steve and Nancy. Each character brings a different set of skills, resources, and approaches to The Fog. The four Survivors can also count on some much-needed backup thanks to Legendary Outfits of Jonathan Byers from the original Stranger Things Chapter, and newcomers Eddie Munson (Legendary for Dustin) and Robin Buckley (Legendary for Nancy).
“When Stranger Things first joined Dead by Daylight, it felt like a milestone,” says Dead by Daylight Creative Director, Dave Richard. “Seeing the franchise return – and evolve – is something special for us. This new Chapter doesn’t just celebrate the show, it deepens the connection between two worlds that share a love for nostalgia, mystery, and horror. The show may have wrapped, but we’re excited to give these characters the chance to continue their adventure in our game.”
Meanwhile, in between checking out the PTB on Steam and waiting for the full release on the Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch, fans can check out the upcoming Stranger Things documentary on the final season when it launches on January 12.
