Dead by Daylight confirms Jason Voorhees as new killer
Behaviour Interactive confirmed Jason Voorhees will join Dead by Daylight as the game's 10th‑anniversary killer, arriving June 16. The studio revealed him after a 13-hour cabin livestream and a trailer that highlights his chainsaw and sickle loadout plus trap-setting and rapid movement mechanics. Jason launches on PC and console platforms on June 16. His addition imports a marquee horror IP into Dead by Daylight, shifting chase dynamics and forcing survivors to learn new counters and strategies.
The mask is on. The machete is dripping. The massacre has begun. Dead by Daylight: Jason. 06. 16. 26.
genuinely how did you guys manage to destroy all hype? Jason should've been a slam dank of excitement and you pulled this....like come on
Folks who are complaining about the live stream and the cabin are missing the point. Bravo BHVR, you nailed it. Looking forward to Jason. I hope we can get some classic skins from the 80’s and 90’s Friday The 13th movies.
This cabin livestream was my favorite teaser since Unknown. I was on edge and spent most of it with my headphones listening and trying to notice even the slightest sound. Speaking of sound, the constant white noise was even worse than silence, it really was creepy ! The background was also..
Can we get a Shack profile banner or icon?
13 hours for a 45 second announcement
I stayed up 11 hours and 55 minutes watching the stream like a hawk, before I had to do something I couldn't put on hold. The "big reveal" happened, and you deleted the stream so I couldn't rewind it. I'm not even gonna redownload this game man, I'll stick to just watching Scott Jund play it lmfao
This was so so good, PLEASE do more high effort reveals like this in the future. Me and my friends started it together before sleeping and then kept watching when we woke up. It was awesome🫶
I do not care if there's no new map. I do not care if there's no new survivors. I do not care how he plays. Jason Voorhees is finally. FINALLY! In DbD! I have a reason to play this game at long last.
You guys really fucked this. What a waste of people's time for something you could've done for 13 minutes. P
I think this shack will be part of his power somehow. Like other killers have specific things that spawn into the map. Not sure what it will do, but maybe it has something to do with weapons? maybe he can go to the shack to switch weapons?
I don't want to know what the Twitter comments look like after this reveal, my goodness...
why would they add The Trapper? don’t they already have one? are they stupid?
My boy is here 🥹
A shame it's kind of like Ghostface, where it's technically not connected to the movies... Tommy Jarvis would have been an excellent Survivor. Still, after all the licensing headaches I'm glad to see the man behind the mask has arrived.
This hype was amazing. Well done everyone! I love this so much.
