FNaF x Dead by Daylight collab announced, arrives Summer 2025

The long-awaited collab announcement teased by Five Nights at Freddy's creator Scott Cawthon has finally arrived, and no, it's not Fortnite. Instead, the popular survival horror game will partner with another within the same subgenre, Dead by Daylight. For everyone other than Fortnite fans, this is a match made in heaven, but the wait is on, as the FNaF x Dead by Daylight collab will not arrive until Summer 2025.

Early on August 5, Scott Cawthon teased that fans should keep an eye on "someone's account" today, that someone ended up being the Dead by Daylight X account. After much anticipation, the popular multiplayer survival horror game confirmed a FNaF x Dead by Daylight collab with massive expectations behind it. Although much of the discussion revolved around Fortnite, this team-up is perfect.

It likely means that Dead by Daylight players may have the opportunity to wreak havoc as Freddy Fazbear in a genuine horror environment. Beyond that, a Freddy Fazbear's Pizza map would provide an incredibly tasteful backdrop for the crossover. The details following the announcement are minimal, apart from a Summer 2025 release date, but the hype has reached maximum levels.

Upon sifting through various memes at the expense of Fortnite fans, we found several fans genuinely excited about the FNaF x Dead by Daylight collab. User JohnAndrewYT stated that, while he has never played Dead by Daylight, this announcement meant it was time to learn.

The DBD post has since received over 3 million views and 90,000 likes, so anticipation is building ahead of the Summer 2025 launch date. Considering previous DBD partnerships, it will be interesting to see how in-depth this crossover goes. Either way, you can be sure that thousands of players will familiarize themselves with Dead by Daylight ahead of FNaF's arrival.
