After a few days of teasing, Behaviour Interactive confirmed that the next horror icon to enter the world of Dead by Daylight is none other than Chucky, the infamous killer doll.
The character is set to be the newest Killer in a new Dead by Daylight DLC chapter and will be available beginning on November 28, 2023. The new chapter is in collaboration with Universal Products and Experiences and will see players able to customize Chucky in a variety of ways, complete with different outfits for the iconic character.
A trailer for the Chucky DLC, in the vein of a classic Good Guy Doll commercial, was also released, which you can check out below:

In the game, players will be able to use Chucky’s size to their advantage, and when he needs help, Charles Lee Ray — the spirit that inhabits Chucky’s doll body — will appear to assist him in picking up survivors. The character will also be voiced by Brad Dourif, the original voice actor for both Charles Lee Ray and Chucky.
“We know Dead by Daylight fans have been clamoring to see Chucky in game and we’ve been dying to make it a reality,” said Bill Kispert, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Business Development, Universal Games and Digital Platforms. “It’s the perfect time for Chucky to unleash his particular brand of mayhem upon players in Dead by Daylight, while he also terrifies them in the latest season of the highly entertaining and always shocking USA & SYFY series.”
