Dead by Daylight Stranger Things Chapter 2: Release Date & New Killer Confirmed
The Upside Down has officially reclaimed the Fog. Behaviour Interactive just dropped the bombshell news that Stranger Things is returning to Dead by Daylight for a massive Chapter 2 expansion.
Dead by Daylight Stranger: Things Chapter 2 will feature a terrifying new Killer, iconic Survivors, and a gameplay shift that changes the meta for 2026.
The second Stranger Things chapter will launch for all platforms on January 27, 2026, and will include new voice lines and outfits from the acclaimed Netflix series.

Dead by Daylight: The Vecna and Stranger Things Expansion
The headline act is Henry Creel, known in-game as The First. Unlike the previous Dungeons & Dragons crossover, this version of Vecna is ripped directly from the Netflix finale.
He dominates the trial using “The Worldbreaker” mechanic. He can slip into the Upside Down to teleport across the map, appearing beneath Survivors with a devastating Undergate attack.
Eleven and Dustin Join the Roster
Survivors aren’t being left behind. Jane “Eleven” Hopper and Dustin Henderson join the fight as full playable characters.
Eleven brings psychic-themed perks that allow for high-risk, high-reward plays, while Dustin focuses on technical utility and teamwork. If you missed the original 2019 collab, this is the ultimate chance to complete your collection.
DBD vs The Entity’s Evolution
This update proves that Dead by Daylight is leaning harder into “Environmental Horror.” The introduction of Grandfather Clocks as a physical objective to cleanse Vecna’s curse adds a layer of tension we haven’t seen since the Pig’s Jigsaw boxes.
Compared to the original Demogorgon release, Chapter 2 feels more surgical. The perks Turn Back the Clock and Secret Project are designed to punish efficient generator rushing, forcing Survivors to play more cautiously.
Is Dead by Daylight Worth Buying?
With Stranger Things reaching its TV conclusion, this update is the perfect digital epilogue. If you enjoy asymmetrical horror that actually evolves its mechanics rather than just recycling them, this is a must-buy. The PTB is live now, with the full global launch set for January 27, 2026.
