Useless by Daylight already boasts an infinite roster of unique characters and horror legends from different franchises, together with Resident Evil, Silent Hill, The Ring, Stranger Issues, A Nightmare on Elm Avenue, Dungeons & Dragons, and the newly launched Castlevania crossover. However an upcoming collaboration will add an much more sudden popular culture character to the combination. Behaviour Interactive introduced Monday that we are able to count on a 5 Nights at Freddy’s crossover in Summer time 2025.
In Useless by Daylight, 5 gamers enter a match. 4 play Survivors, who’re helpless and unarmed, however tasked with powering up mills and escaping the killing grounds. They’re relentlessly hunted by a Killer, who has a wide range of deadly powers at their disposal. It’s straightforward to see how the murderous animatronics that workers Freddy Fazbear’s Pizza may match into this formulation.
The 5 Nights at Freddy’s franchise has grown to incorporate a large assortment of video games, novels, and even a movie adaptation. It’s unclear how a lot content material Behaviour will pull upon for this collaboration; some updates solely add a Killer or a Survivor, whereas a full Chapter will embody a Killer, a Survivor, and a brand new map. With such a large library of video games, it’ll be fascinating to see what Behaviour makes use of as inspiration for the Killer and its talents.
Useless by Daylight additionally allows its Killers to finish some gory animations. Every Killer has their very own “Momento Mori” scene, displaying how they personally remove a hapless Survivor. I’m already nervous fascinated with what it would seem like for Freddy Fazbear to homicide somebody along with his bear palms. Fortunately, I don’t have to fret about this haunting my desires for an additional yr or so.
