After years of speculation from players about whether could ever come to , a devel🥃oper has Freddy Fazbear fans given some hope during a Reddit AMA.
As great as the original Dead by Daylight killers are (The Legion gang rise up), fans of the game are almost always wondering what licensed killer could be coming to the game next, with some of the most popular suggestions including Pennywise from IT, Candyman from, well, Candyman, and Jason Vorhees from Friday the 13th. , however - Freddy Fazbear from Five Nights at Freddy's.
Despite being from one of the most popular horror games of all time, Dead by Daylight fans have always seemed a little split as to whether Five Nights would fit into the DBD universe and if it's even a possibility in the first place considering how few crossovers the series has taken part in. Still, even if some players are split, there are a lot of requests for the killer animatronics, something that's only going to increase with the movie coming out next month.
It seems that Dead by Daylight players aren't the only ones interested in seeing the Five Nights at Freddy's gang join the game, however. , the , where they answered a variety of questions from fans of the game.
One such question comes from Redditor NasserMX, who asked, "Will Five Nights at Freddy’s ever be in Dead by Daylight in the near future?", which received a "Never say never!" response from Dave Richard, Dead by Daylight's senior creative director. It's a fairly simple and short response, but it does show that the development team hasn't ruled out the possibility of Freddy Fazbear (or Springtrap, as many fans have requested) joining the game in the future.
While it may be a short response, it's worth noting that a lot of the answers from Behaviour Interactive devs in the AMA are actually very honest and straightforward, not mincing words even if the answer probably wasn't what the player asking the question wants to hear. That adds a little more credence to the possibility of FNAF content being added to the game, as the devs would have likely just said no if that was the case.
That being said, the response does make it seem as if Five Nights at Freddy's content isn't currently being made for the game and is something that could be worked on in the future. The developers aren't likely to just reveal it in a Reddit AMA, but it's worth keeping your expectations in check if you're desperate to see killer animatronics in Dead by Daylight.
