Dead by Daylight’s next Killer, Freddy Krueger, Will Give You Nightmares

One, two, Freddy’s coming for you.
Three, four, better lock your door.
Five, six, grab a crucifix.
Seven, eight, gonna stay up late.
Nine, ten, time to play Dead by Daylight again. Because Freddy Krueger’s the next playable killer. Probably.

Coming fresh off the heels of the latest playable character, the chainsaw-wielding maniac Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Starbreeze Studios and Behaviour Digital, Inc. have posted a short teaser trailer that implies the dream demon Freddy Krueger of A Nightmare on Elm Street fame is the next playable killer. The video shows four streaks of blood appearing on a bloody iron bar (or piece of wood; it’s hard to tell), followed by a single slash across the streaks to form the Dead by Daylight symbol, but the slash appears out of nowhere, as if created by some invisible weapon. This is basically Freddy’s calling card: carving people up with slashes and gashes that appear for no discernible reason. Oh, and then the teaser cuts to the words, “Don’t fall asleep,” and anyone who knows anything about Freddy knows he can only reach his victims when they’re dreaming. Even though the trailer doesn’t exactly openly state Freddy’s the next character, at this point it’s a foregone conclusion, because no other slasher villain fits the profile.

Right now, we can only guess at how Freddy will be implemented into Dead by Daylight, as the trailer doesn’t reveal any pertinent information. Will Freddy only be able to interact with survivor characters who activate traps that make them fall asleep, or will the game imply that everyone who encounters him is already asleep? How well will the developers translate Freddy’s campy (yet still deadly) style of humor into video game form? And, most importantly, will Robert Englund reprise his role as the Elm Street Serial Killer?

Freddy Krueger will be the third iconic slasher villain to guest star in Dead by Daylight, joining the ranks of Michael Myers and Leatherface. While gamers will likely never see Jason Voorhees since he stars in his own asymmetrical survival horror game, we might soon see other classic slashers grace the game. Pinhead and Chucky come to mind, but with a bit of luck maybe the Xenomorph will be the next playable killer. Wishful thinking aside, though, we have no idea when Freddy will be playable, but I hope he will be ready come Halloween, if not sooner.

All you have to do to get my attention is talk about video games, technology, anime, and/or Dungeons & Dragons - also people in spandex fighting rubber suited monsters.

Helldivers 2 proved to be a surprising success, highlighting the unpredictable nature of the gaming industry. As per Circana analyst Mat Piscatella, it currently ranks as Sony’s seventh highest grossing game in the United States to date, trailing behind a trio of Spider-Man titles, a couple of God of War games, and Ghost of Tsushima. It’s only been on the market for less than three months and is not even being sold at full price.

According to Piscatella, a significant factor contributing to the game’s success is its release on PC. He mentioned that, based on Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, the game has consistently ranked first in terms of active users on Steam in the US since its launch, including April. The release of Helldivers 2 on both PlayStation and PC has been an extraordinary triumph.

He stated that Helldivers 2 has already become the seventh highest-grossing Sony-published game in history. Without a PC, it would not currently be considered one of the top 20 games. While I’m emphasizing the success of the PC SKU, it’s important to note that I’m not disregarding the success of the PlayStation SKU. I just wanted to clarify that. This launch has proven to be incredibly successful.

Prior to the release of Helldivers 2, Sony made it clear that they would be launching their live service-style titles simultaneously on both the PS5 and PC. The success of this approach will undoubtedly strengthen their strategic vision. It will be intriguing to witness if the company reveals official sales figures in the near future, as the title appears to be one of the platform holder’s most successful sellers to date.

Shift Up, the Korean developer, seems to be reconsidering its contentious alterations to the Stellar Blade outfit. In a message to fans, they have urged everyone to stay tuned for updates and expressed gratitude for the passionate feedback from players. For those who may not be aware, a petition gained significant attention over the weekend when gamers discovered changes made to a few of the game’s costumes through a day-one patch.

The launch day update includes a fantastic New Game + mode, but some players were disappointed by the changes made to protagonist Eve’s outfit. These alterations sparked debates about censorship. Director Hyung-Tae Kim later clarified that this was the studio’s original vision, but he acknowledged that it may require further persuasion to win over users. Internal discussions were also underway to address any concerns.

There is no definitive confirmation regarding the reversal of the outfits, but considering the language used in the statement and the widespread controversy surrounding the alterations, it is highly likely that a future patch will restore the original costumes. If you want to get a sneak peek at all of Eve’s different outfits and learn how to unlock them, be sure to take a look at our comprehensive guide, All Outfits and How to Get Them.

It’s quite possible. Fans all over the world are interested in Shift Up’s highly anticipated action-adventure game, Stellar Blade. With its captivating post-apocalyptic setting reminiscent of Nier and a compelling protagonist named Eve, it’s no wonder the game has generated such widespread attention.

The game consistently impresses with its stunning visuals and high-octane action, leaving players in awe with each new trailer.

Yet, just like other noteworthy second-party and third-party game releases, fans are pondering: Will Stellar Blade be available on PC?

Will Stellar Blade be available on PC? Allow me to provide you with the answer.

Unfortunately, Stellar Blade will not be available on PC, at least not initially. Currently, the game is only available on PlayStation 5 starting on April 26, 2024.

Regrettably, it appears that there is no indication of a potential PC release for Stellar Blade in the future. In most cases, trailers for PlayStation timed-exclusive titles conclude with a disclaimer that specifies the duration of their exclusivity.

In the Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth launch trailer, it is explicitly stated that the game will only be accessible on other platforms starting on May 29, 2024.

Regrettably, when it comes to the stellar blade, there is no indication of such.

It’s important to note that Sony Entertainment Interactive published Stellar Blade, unlike Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. This means that the chances of it being released on PC or other platforms in the near future are even slimmer.

However, it is worth noting that there is a chance the game might be released on PC in the future, given PlayStation’s track record of bringing their exclusive titles to the platform. However, it could be a while before this comes to fruition.
