The Dead by Daylight FNAF collab has both good and sad news for players. Dead by Daylight and Five Nights at Freddy’s are finally coming together and horror game fans couldn’t be more excited.
For years, fans have been clamoring for a crossover between these two iconic franchises, and now, as part of the Five Nights at Freddy’s 10th Anniversary celebrations, the Dead by Daylight FNAF collab is officially happening.

Dead by Daylight FNAF collab delights horror fans, but Fortnite players are left in the dark
Announced via Dead by Daylight’s official X account (formerly Twitter), the collaboration with Five Nights at Freddy’s is set for summer 2025. That gives fans a whole year to guess what this horror-filled Dead by Daylight FNAF collab will bring, or in short, we’ll wait again.
Despite the formation of the collaboration, there is a long wait ahead. With a year to go before the collaboration comes to life, fans are forced to think about what might be included. Will iconic characters like Springtrap or Freddy himself join the fray as killers? Will Carmen’s unforgettable Toreador Anthem play a role? The possibilities are endless and speculation is part of the fun.

Fortnite fans’ disappointment
While Dead by Daylight fans celebrated, the Fortnite community had a very different reaction. The cryptic teasers from the Five Nights at Freddy’s account have been a hot topic among leakers and fans alike for weeks. Many believed that these teasers signaled a collaboration with Fortnite, especially since they came just before a major Fortnite update. The Dead by Daylight FNAF collab was a sad surprise for many who expected the announcement to include Fortnite.
For Fortnite fans, when the collaboration with Dead by Daylight was finally announced, the disappointment was palpable. Social media was flooded with reactions from bewildered Fortnite fans eagerly anticipating their piece of the FNAF universe. The dream of seeing Freddy Fazbear in Fortnite had been dashed for now.
While the Dead by Daylight and Five Nights at Freddy’s crossover is set to arrive in 2025, there’s still a glimmer of hope for Fortnite fans. With a whole year ahead, it’s possible that Epic Games could take note of the immense interest and consider their collaboration with Five Nights at Freddy’s. Halloween 2025, perhaps?
