'I'm Being Ragebaited' — Dead by Daylight Players React After Brutal Cabin Livestream Delivers Jason Voorhees Killer

Behaviour Interactive says the Friday the 13th slasher will join Dead by Daylight’s Killer roster, expanding its lineup of licensed horror icons.

  • Developer Behaviour Interactive announced on Saturday that Jason Voorhees will join Dead by Daylight as a Killer on June 16, completing the "Mount Rushmore of horror" for the game's roster.
  • The reveal followed a 13-hour anniversary livestream that featured a static cabin image, concluding weeks of speculation regarding Dead by Daylight's 10th anniversary festivities.
  • Game director Mathieu Cote previously called the licensing situation a "legal quagmire" and "tar pit," but the Jason Universe project resolved rights issues that long prevented the character's inclusion.
  • Some fans expressed mixed reactions; one stated, "I'm both happy it's Jason finally being added, but underwhelmed by his reveal," referencing the lengthy teaser stream.
  • Jason joins horror icons Michael Myers and Freddy Krueger in the asymmetrical survival game, as Behaviour Interactive continues securing mainstream slasher rights across major consoles.
