Stranger Things is back in Dead by Daylight in a big way. Behaviour Interactive has officially announced a new collaboration with the popular Netflix series, bringing fresh faces to the asymmetrical horror game. This expansion pack adds Dustin Henderson and Jane Hopper (Eleven) as playable Survivors. The villainous Vecna also joins the roster as the new Killer, expanding the supernatural threat within the game.
Stranger Things in Dead by Daylight
In this new chapter, Eleven and Dustin Henderson join the ranks of the Survivors. The DLC features these two iconic characters with photorealistic models based on actors Gaten Matarazzo and Millie Bobby Brown.
For now, the developer has stated there is no confirmation regarding the use of the actors’ original voices in the game. Dustin is described by the studio as a creative leader full of imagination, while Eleven is portrayed as a gifted medium dedicated to her family. These newcomers join Steve Harrington and Nancy Wheeler from the first chapter, further expanding the Stranger Things cast in the game.
Beyond Eleven and Dustin, the pack holds surprises for fans. It includes Legendary Outfits for Eddie Munson and Robin Buckley, popular fan-favorite characters. These cosmetics allow players to transform their Survivors into the rebellious Eddie or the clever Robin during matches. Additionally, both outfits come with original voice lines, enhancing immersion in the show’s universe.
Vecna: The Terrifying New Killer
While the first chapter introduced the Demogorgon, Henry Creel — the dreaded Vecna — now takes over as the new Killer. As the primary antagonist of the series, Vecna is determined to spread the corruption of the Upside Down and reshape humanity. He enters The Fog ready to terrorize Survivors; the official website reveals that Creel can bend the world around him, manifesting the Upside Down and trapping Survivors in demonic vines.
The chapter is already available on the Steam Public Test Build (PTB), with the official launch scheduled for January 27, 2026. As highlighted in the official announcement, this marks the second collaboration between Dead by Daylight and Stranger Things, reinforcing the massive popularity of both franchises among fans.
