  • Finally! Jason Voorhees Hacks His Way Into Dead by Daylight This June

    Finally! Jason Voorhees Hacks His Way Into Dead by Daylight This June

    For a decade, Dead by Daylight fans have had one ultimate dream on their horror wishlist. We’ve seen Michael Myers, Freddy Krueger, Leatherface, and Ghostface stalk through The Fog, but the crown prince of Camp Crystal Lake was always missing. Legally locked away in a chaotic maze of licensing disputes, he felt like the one iconic slasher the game would never truly capture.

    Well, wipe off that machete and put on your favourite hockey mask, because the impossible just became reality.

    Behaviour Interactive has officially announced that Jason Voorhees is coming to Dead by Daylight on June 16, 2026.

    Serving as the absolute crown jewel of the game’s monumental 10th Anniversary celebration (Chapter 40), the Friday the 13th icon is finally ready to show the Entity how real butchery is done. If you happen to be playing on Steam’s Public Test Build (PTB), you can actually jump in right now to test his mechanics ahead of the global launch.

    Here is everything we know about how Jason is going to completely upend the DbD meta.

    Welcome to the Camp: Jason’s Killer Abilities

    Jason isn’t just another M1 brute with a knife; Behaviour has built a terrifying, lore-accurate kit that brings his supernatural cinematic presence to life. He will launch with two devastating core abilities:

    1. Omnipresent Evil

    Ever wonder how Jason manages to casually walk after a sprinting teenager and somehow still teleport right in front of them? This is how. Omnipresent Evil is a high-octane stealth power that allows Jason to completely vanish from the map. While invisible, he moves at an accelerated speed and tracks survivors via subtle footstep cues. To manifest, he must target environmental structures like pallets, vault windows, or breakable walls—bursting out of them for the ultimate jump scare.

    2. Improvised Carnage

    Jason utilises his environment like no other slasher. With Improvised Carnage, Jason can grab scattered debris across the map—think locker fragments, broken generator parts, or shattered pallets—and hurl them as deadly projectiles. A successful hit staggers survivors. Even worse? If you hit an already injured survivor near a wall, the projectile will literally pin them in place, leaving them completely helpless.

    Bonus Wardrobe: Jason will launch with four unique outfits on June 16. His default look features his classic 13-holed hockey mask and weathered clothing, but a “Backwoods Terror” outfit has also been teased for players looking to change up their killer style.

    Why This is a Historic Win for Horror Gaming

    To understand why the community is collectively losing its mind, you have to look back at the tragic death of Friday the 13th: The Game. Due to a brutal, multi-year legal deadlock over the rights between original writer Victor Miller and Horror Inc., the dedicated asymmetrical game was forced to halt content updates and was completely delisted in 2023.

    The horror genre felt fragmented. But thanks to the recent “Jason Universe” initiative by Horror Inc.—which was designed to finally streamline the franchise’s rights for multimedia and gaming—Behaviour Interactive was able to strike a deal just in time for their 10th anniversary.

    Mark Your Calendars

    The global cross-platform release drops on Tuesday, June 16, 2026, across PC, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and last-gen consoles.

    The 10th-anniversary festivities will run from June 16 through July 7, complete with exclusive cosmetics and community rewards. Behaviour is also hosting a massive live event in Montreal on June 14 to show off more gameplay panels right before the update goes live.

    The Fog is about to get a whole lot bloodier. Survivors, you have been warned.

  • Serious Sam: Shatterverse — Multiversal Mayhem Meets 5-Player Co-op

    Serious Sam: Shatterverse — Multiversal Mayhem Meets 5-Player Co-op

    Serious Sam is turning 25 this year, and instead of just blowing out some candles, Devolver Digital is blowing up the multiverse. Announced during the latest Xbox Partner Preview, Serious Sam: Shatterverse is a bold new direction for the legendary “boomer shooter” franchise.

    In a surprising twist, the game isn’t being helmed by series creators Croteam. Instead, development duties have been handed to Behaviour Interactive, the powerhouse studio behind the asymmetric horror hit Dead by Daylight.

    A Sam for Every Timeline

    The premise is pure, unadulterated Serious Sam ridiculousness. The series’ perennial big-bad, Mental, has used “dimensional machinations” to fracture the walls of reality. This has created the Shatterverse, a collapsed world where various versions of Sam Stone from across infinite dimensions have been pulled together.

    For the first time in the series, up to five players can team up in co-operative play. You won’t just be playing as generic soldiers; you’ll be stepping into the boots of different Sams from across the multiverse to hunt down Mental’s five nefarious lieutenants and repair reality.

    Roguelite Meets Run-and-Gun

    While the core DNA remains high-adrenaline, arena-based chaos, Shatterverse introduces a modern roguelite structure. Here is what players can expect from the gameplay loop:

    Shifting Universes: Procedurally shifted runs across hand-crafted arenas mean no two attempts to save the multiverse will feel the same.

    The Serious Arsenal: Expect a “frankly irresponsible” amount of firepower. The game mixes classic staples like the Double Shotgun and XL2 Laser with experimental “Shatter-tech” weaponry.

    Boons and Modifiers: Players can stack wild buffs and run modifiers to bend the rules of combat, creating high-risk, high-reward opportunities that can supercharge a run—or end it instantly.

    Permanent Progression: In true roguelite fashion, death isn’t the end. You’ll unlock upgrades that permanently expand your strategic possibilities for future runs.

    A “Serious” Stamp of Approval

    Despite the change in developer, fans can breathe a sigh of relief. Croteam has given the project its full blessing. Davor Hunski, co-creator of Serious Sam, expressed his excitement:

    “It’s very exciting to see another talented team step in and create something bold, fresh and different within the universe we cherished for so long. I can’t wait for both the old and new fans to experience this new interpretation of the series!”

    Behaviour Interactive’s Nic Duchesne echoed this sentiment, stating the goal was to “respect Serious Sam’s rich legacy while presenting it in a fresh, contemporary way.”

    Coming Later This Year

    Serious Sam: Shatterverse is slated for release in 2026 (targeting the 25th-anniversary window of The First Encounter). It will be available on:

    PC (Steam)

    PlayStation 5

    Xbox Series X|S (including Xbox Cloud Gaming)

    Whether you’re a veteran of the 2001 classic or a newcomer looking for some chaotic co-op action, the Shatterverse is looking like the place to be.

  • The Upside Down Returns: Everything in Dead by Daylight’s Stranger Things Chapter 2

    The Upside Down Returns: Everything in Dead by Daylight’s Stranger Things Chapter 2

    The Fog has just gotten a lot more crowded—and significantly more dangerous. Following the massive conclusion of Stranger Things Season 5, Behaviour Interactive has officially launched the highly anticipated Stranger Things Chapter 2 on January 27, 2026.

    While the original 2019 chapter brought us the Demogorgon, this second expansion dives deep into the series’ finale, bringing the true mastermind of Hawkins’ suffering into the Entity’s Realm.

    The New Killer: Vecna (The First)

    Known to some as Henry Creel and others as One, The First enters the game as a powerful, reality-warping Killer. Unlike the Dungeons & Dragons version of Vecna already in the game, this iteration is ripped straight from the Netflix series, complete with his iconic fleshy vines and telekinetic malice.

    • The Power: Test Subject #001
    • The Worldbreaker: Vecna can slip into the Upside Down to navigate the map with frightening speed, emerging through “Undergates” to surprise Survivors.
    • Grandfather Clocks: His presence introduces a new environmental mechanic. Cursed Survivors must find and interact with Grandfather Clocks to stave off a mounting dread that makes them vulnerable to a brutal, bone-shattering final blow.

    The Survivors: Eleven & Dustin Henderson

    Two of Hawkins’ most iconic heroes have finally joined the roster, bringing powerful new utility to the Survivor side.

    • Eleven (Jane Hopper): Her perks focus on her psychic resilience. With Extrasensory Perception, she can see auras while crouching, though at the cost of being temporarily Oblivious to the Killer’s presence.
    • Dustin Henderson: The group’s resident strategist brings technical ingenuity. His perk Bada Bada Boom allows him to transform toolboxes into med-kits while hiding in lockers, providing crucial mid-match adaptability.

    Legendary Outfits: Eddie & Robin

    Fans who want to play as other fan favourites are in luck. The chapter launches with two high-fidelity Legendary Outfits that completely transform existing characters, including original voice lines:

    • Eddie Munson (for Dustin Henderson)
    • Robin Buckley (for Nancy Wheeler)

    Why It Matters

    This update marks a shift toward Environmental Horror in Dead by Daylight. By adding physical objectives like the Grandfather Clocks and a Killer that literally traverses a sub-dimension, Chapter 2 feels more like a psychological thriller than a simple game of tag.

    Whether you’re a “Steve Main” looking to reunite the Scoop Troop or a Killer enthusiast ready to shatter some bones as Henry Creel, the Upside Down has never felt more at home in the Fog.

    Note: Stranger Things Chapter 2 is available now on all platforms. Purchasing the full DLC also unlocks the exclusive “Mind Flayer” Badge and “Bloody Rainbow Room” Banner.

  • A Symphony of Terror: Diving into Dead by Daylight’s “Sinister Grace”

    A Symphony of Terror: Diving into Dead by Daylight’s “Sinister Grace”

    The fog has thickened once again, and with it comes a new chapter steeped in a chilling mix of gruesome body horror and operatic tragedy. Dead by Daylight’s latest DLC, “Sinister Grace,” is now unleashed, introducing a fascinating new Killer, a high-energy Survivor, and a fresh taste of Thai folklore to the game’s ever-expanding nightmare.

    The Killer: The Krasue – A Duality of Horror

    The star of this show is undoubtedly The Krasue, a Killer unlike any we’ve seen before. Her lore is a haunting tale of a talented opera singer, Burong Sukapat, who makes a dark pact for fame, only to find herself cursed. By day, she’s a beautiful performer. By night, she’s transformed into a horrific creature from Thai folklore: a disembodied head with her entrails trailing behind, floating through the air with an insatiable hunger.

    This duality is at the heart of her gameplay. The Krasue can switch between two forms:

    • Body Form: This is her “human” state, where she moves on foot and can fire a projectile that infects Survivors with a “Leeching Gland.” This projectile curses them, making them vulnerable to her other form.
    • Floating Head Form: This is where the true terror begins. The Krasue tears free from her body, becoming a high-speed, mobile head with a long, bloody Intestinal Whip. This form allows her to traverse the map and strike at infected Survivors, making them easy prey.

    The unique mechanic of infecting Survivors and then switching forms to pursue them adds an exciting layer of strategy for Killer mains. The Krasue’s perks also lean into her themes, with abilities that deceive Survivors and reveal their locations, creating a truly unsettling experience.

    The Survivor: Vee Boonyasak – A Punk Rock Counterpoint

    Balancing out the opera-fueled horror is Vee Boonyasak, a charismatic and energetic punk drummer from the band Axekick. Vee’s backstory connects her to Burong in a spooky way, as her band once performed to the eerie echoes of the opera singer’s recordings.

    Vee’s perks reflect her punk rock attitude and road-life experience. They are focused on speed and teamwork:

    • Ghost Notes: Helps her recover from Exhaustion faster and makes her Scratch Marks disappear quicker.
    • One-Two-Three-Four!: A team-oriented perk that invigorates her teammates with a slew of Skill Checks, empowering their own abilities.
    • Road Life: Rewards her for landing Great Skill Checks while injured, allowing her to heal a Health State.

    Vee is the perfect counterpoint to the slow, methodical terror of The Krasue, bringing a fast-paced, kinetic energy to the trials.

    Beyond the New Characters: Patch 9.2.0

    “Sinister Grace” isn’t just about the new characters. The accompanying 9.2.0 update brings a massive wave of changes and quality-of-life improvements to the game, including:

    • A major overhaul of The Shape (Michael Myers), with redesigned modes and a new special attack.
    • Significant balance changes to numerous Killers and Survivor perks, shaking up the meta.
    • Quality-of-life updates like automatic recovery in the dying state and improved match details.
    • Pallet density updates to reduce “dead zones” in several maps.

    This is one of the biggest content drops we’ve seen in a while, and it promises to change the way we play Dead by Daylight for months to come.

    Final Thoughts

    Dead by Daylight’s “Sinister Grace” chapter is a testament to the game’s ability to pull from diverse global horror traditions and transform them into engaging, terrifying gameplay. The Krasue is a fresh and challenging Killer, and Vee is a survivor with unique perks that encourage a new playstyle. Whether you’re a seasoned veteran or a newcomer to The Fog, “Sinister Grace” offers a captivating and horrific experience that is not to be missed.

    So, are you ready to face the music? The Krasue is waiting.
