Dead by Daylight Losing Another Horror Icon

Just a few days before Halloween, developer Behaviour Interactive had an unfortunate announcement to make regarding Dead by Daylight. In November, the game’s Chucky Chapter will be removed from the flerspelarläge horror game, giving players a few weeks to decide if they want to acquire Chucky content before it’s gone.

It’s not the first time Dead by Daylight fans have had a horror icon taken away from them.

Over the years, Dead by Daylight has collaborated with numerous horror franchises, allowing fans to get a firsthand experience with their favorite universes. Unfortunately, some of these collaborations aren’t permanent due to licensing issues. For example, Behaviour Interactive removed Hellraiser’s Pinhead in 2025 and pulled Michael Myers from Dead by Daylight in early 2026. The license for the Halloween franchise expired and was not renewed, possibly because of the release of Illfonic’s Halloween: The Game in September — a game with similar mechanics.

Chucky set to leave Dead by Daylight next month

It was speculated that Chucky would face the same fate due to leaker reports and other indicators on social media. Unfortunately, the rumors turned out to be true. On Oct. 23, Behaviour Interactive revealed that the next few weeks would be fans’ last chance to acquire Chucky content in Dead by Daylight before its removal.

Chucky content can be obtained in Dead by Daylight until Nov. 24, 2026, at 11 a.m. ET. After this, the DLC will be removed from platforms and unavailable for purchase. Current owners will retain access to the Chucky DLC, which means they can level up the character and get his add-ons and perks. However, they will not be able to unlock any additional outfits.

If there is any Chucky content you’d like to get, it’s now or never. Behaviour Interactive is hosting a Last Chance sale, giving fans the opportunity to purchase the Chucky Chapter DLC at half price ($2.49). The sale will be live from Oct. 26 until Nov. 24 on the Epic Spel Store, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch. The sale starts on Nov. 2 on PlayStation and Nov. 10 on Steam.
