The horror gaming community has been buzzing with excitement and speculation over the potential arrival of Jason Voorhees in Dead by Daylight. However, recent rumors suggest that this long-awaited collaboration may never come to fruition. According to this rumor, the rights holders of Jason Voorhees view Behaviour Interactive’s Dead by Daylight as a direct competitor to their upcoming multiplayer game, Friday the 13th, preferring to release Jason Voorhees only on Fortnite, Multiversus and COD at the moment:
This competitive concern is understandable. Both Dead by Daylight and the upcoming Friday the 13th game occupy a similar niche in the gaming market, offering asymmetrical multiplayer horror experiences where players either take on the role of a killer or try to survive. Introducing Jason Voorhees into Dead by Daylight could arguably diminish the unique appeal of the new Friday the 13th game.
For fans, this news is undoubtedly disappointing. Jason Voorhees, with his iconic hockey mask and machete, has long been one of the most requested characters for Dead by Daylight. His addition to the game’s roster of killers would have been a thrilling nod to one of the most enduring franchises in horror history.
Despite this setback, it’s important for fans to remember that Dead by Daylight has continued to evolve and expand with numerous other exciting collaborations. The game has successfully integrated characters from various horror franchises, maintaining a diverse and engaging roster that keeps players coming back for more.
Fortnite and Call of Duty for now. I think they might see Dead by Daylight as a competitor to their multiplayer game that's in development? Idk. https://t.co/8foGHnWVcQ

While the likelihood of Jason Voorhees joining Dead by Daylight seems slim under current circumstances, it’s not entirely out of the realm of possibility. The landscape of gaming rights and collaborations is always shifting, and what seems impossible today might become feasible in the future.
Moreover, Behaviour Interactive has shown a remarkable ability to adapt and innovate, consistently introducing new content that excites and engages its player base. Even without Jason, the future of Dead by Daylight looks bright, with numerous other potential collaborations and updates on the horizon.
The potential collaboration between Jason Voorhees and Dead by Daylight may be off the table for now, but the ever-evolving world of video game development means that anything is possible down the line. In the meantime, fans can look forward to what both Dead by Daylight and the new Friday the 13th game have to offer, each delivering their unique brand of horror and excitement.
