Dead by Daylight – Stranger Things: Chapter 2

Hawkins Forever

Debuting in 2019, Dead by Daylight's Stranger Things Chapter quickly became one of the most celebrated collaborations in the game's history. Fans of both franchises were drawn into The Fog as Nancy Wheeler and Steve Harrington fought to escape The Demogorgon within The Entity's chilling recreation of the Hawkins National Laboratory. Six years later – and hot on the heels of the electrifying finale of Netflix's flagship series – the world of Stranger Things returns to Dead by Daylight, transforming one of the game's most successful releases into one of its most anticipated follow-ups. The connection between the Upside Down and The Entity's Realm has never been stronger.

Party On

With no shortage of compelling, fan-favorite characters to draw from, Dead by Daylight – Stranger Things: Chapter 2 welcomes three new additions to the Trials, led by the show's ultimate villain – Vecna, The First – whose dark powers are guaranteed to keep Survivors on their heels. The First can bend the world around him, manifesting and weaponizing the physical presence of the Upside Down within The Fog. Sinister vines lash out at the unsuspecting as Vecna disappears beneath the ground, reemerging to curse any within his path. The haunting chime of grandfather clocks scattered across the Map may be the Survivors' only salvation…

On the Survivor side, the iconic Jane "Eleven" Hopper and Dustin Henderson join the fight alongside Steve and Nancy. Each character brings a different set of skills, resources, and approaches to The Fog – not to mention a unique familiarity with Chapter's Killer. The four Survivors can also count on some much-needed backup thanks to Legendary Outfits of Jonathan Byers from the original Stranger Things Chapter, and newcomers Eddie Munson (Legendary for Dustin) and Robin Buckley (Legendary for Nancy).
