Dead by Daylight Stranger Things Crossover Announced

Dead by Daylight and "Stranger Things" have joined forces with a playable expansion for the asymmetrical multiplayer horror game.

Netflix and publisher Behavior Interactive revealed the expansion, called the Dead by Daylight: Stranger Things Chapter, Monday.

The Demogorgon will join the game as a new playable killer, while Nancy Wheeler and Steve Harrington will be newly playable survivors. The expansion also brings a new map, the Underground Complex from below the Hawkins National Laboratory, to the game.

Dead by Daylight launched with a coterie of original villains, but has since expanded its lineup of killers to include characters from famous horror franchises. Those additions include The Shape, also known as Michael Myers from "Halloween," Leatherface from "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," Freddy Krueger from "A Nightmare on Elm Street," and Ghostface from "Scream," among others.

The Stranger Things Chapter will release in September on PC and consoles.
