Dead by Daylight Welcomes Springtrap from Five Nights at Freddy’s

Montreal, Canada – Behaviour Interactive’s multiplayer horror game Dead by Daylight marks its ninth anniversary with exciting news. Starting tomorrow, June 17, players will see the introduction of Springtrap, a character from the popular Five Nights at Freddy’s franchise.

Dead by Daylight is a 4 vs. 1 horror game where one player becomes the Killer and the other four act as Survivors trying to escape. Since its launch in 2016, the game has attracted over 50 million players worldwide, with two million participating daily.

As part of the game’s ongoing expansion, Springtrap joins other horror icons. The character’s background includes being a former employee of Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria, known for his brutal efficiency as a Killer. The release of a new trailer showcases his terrifying gameplay style.

Springtrap brings unique gameplay mechanics and three powerful Perks. The character harnesses map-wide surveillance and relentless pursuit to create overwhelming fear in Survivors. Players will encounter an animatronic horror with added layers of strategy and scares.

Springtrap’s main Power, along with the Perk ‘Help Wanted’, allows him to compromise generators, shortening attack cooldowns. Other Perks include ‘Phantom Fear’, causing nearby Survivors to scream and reveal their locations, and ‘Haywire’, which forces Survivors to make complicated decisions when exit gates power up.

The launch of Springtrap adds to the rich universe of Dead by Daylight, recently expanded to include characters from franchises like Halloween and Stranger Things. As the franchise grows, fans eagerly await more developments surrounding Dead by Daylight and its connection to the broader horror genre.
