Dead by Daylight Springtrap Crossover Leak: Release Date, Gameplay Details & What to Expect
• Hot Trendy News
The long-awaited Five Nights at Freddy’s crossover has finally become reality as Springtrap steps into Dead by Daylight, bringing a terrifying new style of cat-and-mouse to Behaviour Interactive’s asymmetrical horror hit.
Early Access and Release Timeline
• Springtrap is playable right now on the Public Test Build (PTB) for Steam, giving PC players an early chance to master his mechanics before the full Chapter 36 launch on 17 June for PlayStation, Xbox, Switch and PC.
• Pre-orders for the DLC pack include the killer, an exclusive William Afton legendary skin, and the new Pizzeria map.
Killer Power: Remnant Overload
Springtrap’s Power lets him “charge” nearby animatronics scattered across the map. Once juiced, these props broadcast survivors’ auras and can lunge in a short-range attack, forcing constant repositioning. Survivors who linger too long gain the “Remnant” debuff, revealing them to Springtrap every few seconds and increasing their terror radius exposure.
New Perks Tailor-Made for Surveillance
1. Backstage Pass – Every time a generator is kicked, all generators within 32 meters light up in yellow for eight seconds.
2. Hide and Seek – Hitting a survivor inside a locker triggers Killer Instinct on every locker for four seconds.
3. Eternal Show – Hooking a survivor for the first time blocks all pallets in a 16-meter radius for six seconds.
Pizzeria Map Redesign
The new indoor map re-creates the ruined Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria with tight corridors, party rooms and interactive props that can trigger jump-scares even for the Killer. Arcade cabinets conceal lockers, while the main stage’s security office doubles as the map’s basement, cranking up the tension during end-game scenarios.
Why This Crossover Matters
Five Nights at Freddy’s remains one of the most searched horror franchises worldwide, and its debut in Dead by Daylight unites two powerhouse communities. For Behaviour, Springtrap marks the first time a purely animatronic killer has appeared, expanding the roster’s mechanical variety and giving streamers new scare fodder.
Survivor Counterplay Tips
• Stay mobile: Springtrap’s aura-reading perks reward stationary survivors. Rotate generators frequently.
• Use pallets pre-emptively: His pallet-blocking perk is strongest after first hooks—dump pallets early if you must.
• Cleanse Remnant fast: The new “Fuse Box” cleansing stations remove the Remnant debuff; memorize their spawns.
How to Get Started
Download the PTB via Steam’s Beta tab, select “publictest,” and queue as Springtrap to unlock his load-out for free. Console users can wishlist the DLC now; cross-progression ensures earned cosmetics carry over at launch.
Bottom Line
Springtrap’s arrival injects fresh dread into Dead by Daylight, combining FNAF’s haunted animatronics with Behaviour’s tense 4v1 loop. Whether you’re a Killer main itching to track survivors through security feeds or a survivor hoping to outwit William Afton himself, Chapter 36 looks set to dominate the Entity’s Realm—and the streaming charts—this summer.
