The recent crossover between Dead by Daylight and Five Nights at Freddy's has set a new peak for the multiplayer horror game, with 106,029 concurrent players. The introduction of Springtrap and new gameplay mechanics inspired by Five Nights at Freddy's has rejuvenated interest, following a record set in 2021 with Resident Evil. The challenge was to merge distinct gameplay styles, as emphasized by designer Jay Guzzo, ensuring that the tension from Five Nights was effectively translated into the dynamic action of Dead by Daylight.
"In the former, you're mainly sitting in one room and managing a single resource--your battery. Whereas in DbD, it's much more action oriented."
"It came down to identifying what creates that incredible tension in Five Nights and Freddy's and adapting it into a dynamic format for our own game."
