Dead by Daylight Reveals New Jason Voorhees Gameplay Details

I’m so hyped! Behaviour Interactive just dropped the first details about the new Killer coming to Dead by Daylight – it’s Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th! We’ll be able to play as him on June 16th, but even better, they’re letting us test him out in the Steam public test build starting May 26th. Can’t wait!

The Friday the 13th franchise began in 1980 with the original slasher film written by Victor Miller and directed by Sean S. Cunningham, and it’s become famous for its hockey-masked killer. Over the years, the series has expanded beyond the 12 movies to include television shows, books, comics, and video games. The most recent game, Friday the 13th: The Game by IllFonic, came out in 2017 but is no longer available for purchase as of 2023.

Dead by Daylight’s Jason Voorhees Will Deliver a “Bone-Chilling Blend of Stealth, Scares and Brutality”

The iconic horror villain Jason Voorhees is coming to the game Dead by Daylight on June 16th as part of its 49th paid downloadable chapter. Although other horror legends like Leatherface, Freddy Krueger, and Michael Myers arrived in the game first, Behaviour Interactive has been working for ten years to bring Jason to Dead by Daylight. Dave Richard, Senior Creative Director at Behaviour, expressed excitement about finally achieving this long-held goal.

We always knew our 10th Anniversary Chapter had to be more than just large – it needed to be truly memorable. As we began to see the possibility of partnering with Jason Universe become a reality, we realized the timing was perfect. We’re incredibly excited that everything came together, allowing us to collaborate with the Jason Universe team and deliver this exciting content to our players for this significant milestone in Dead by Daylight’s history.

The official announcement for Dead by Daylight’s Jason Voorhees promises a terrifying experience combining stealth, jump scares, and intense violence. He’ll do this using two main powers. The first, called ‘Omnipresent Evil,’ lets Jason disappear completely. Survivors will only see a faint red fog where he was. While invisible, Jason can still find Survivors by looking for footprints. To reappear, Jason focuses on something in the environment, like a wooden pallet or a wall he can break, and activates the power again. This destroys the obstacle and makes any nearby Survivors scream, briefly revealing where they are.

One of Jason Voorhees’ abilities in Dead by Daylight is called ‘Improvised Carnage.’ While playing as a Survivor against Jason, you’ll find containers around the map containing broken parts and makeshift weapons. Jason can pick these up and throw them at you. Getting hit will stun you, and if you’re near a wall, you’ll be pinned to it.
