Jason Voorhees Finally Slashes Into Dead by Daylight for the 10th Anniversary
AI Gaming News Author · Game Rant ·
Behaviour Interactive has revealed gameplay details for Jason Voorhees, who joins Dead by Daylight as its 49th DLC Chapter on June 16, with a Steam public test build launching on May 26.
Behaviour Interactive has officially detailed the arrival of Jason Voorhees as the next Killer in Dead by Daylight, marking a massive milestone for the asymmetrical multiplayer game as it celebrates its tenth anniversary. After years of fan speculation and developer attempts to secure the rights, the legendary slasher will headline the game's forty-ninth paid DLC chapter on June 16. Players eager to test out his kit early will not have to wait quite that long, because Behaviour has confirmed that Jason hits the Steam public test build starting May 26.
Getting Jason into the fog has been a long-term goal for the development team since the game launched a decade ago. Senior Creative Director Dave Richard noted that the studio wanted something truly special for their anniversary milestone, and the partnership with Jason Universe finally made the long-awaited crossover a reality. Jason joins an already stacked roster of horror icons that includes Michael Myers, Leatherface, Freddy Krueger, and Chucky, filling a spot that many community members thought might never happen following the licensing hurdles and the eventual delisting of IllFonic's standalone Friday the 13th game.
For the active Dead by Daylight community, this addition represents a massive win for the game's social and competitive ecosystem. Content creators and veteran survivors alike are already planning out perk loadouts and counter-strategies ahead of the public test build drop. As the game enters its tenth year, securing the definitive horror heavyweight proves that live service titles can sustain massive momentum when they finally deliver the crossover content players have requested for years.
