Springtrap Enters the Fog: Dead by Daylight Welcomes Five Nights at Freddy’s Killer
Alright, horror fans — buckle up, because the Fog is about to get a whole lot darker. Dead by Daylight has officially revealed its next terrifying chapter, and this time, it’s merging with the twisted universe of Five Nights at Freddy’s . Yes, you heard that right — Springtrap is making his gruesome debut in Dead by Daylight , and I have to say, this crossover is both chilling and incredibly exciting.

So here’s the deal: Behaviour Interactive just celebrated the ninth anniversary of Dead by Daylight, and instead of slowing down, they’re doubling down with some of the most creative and fan-hyped content to date. Springtrap, the infamous animatronic from FNAF (also known as William Afton), is joining the roster of Killers — and he’s bringing some seriously sinister energy with him. A brand-new trailer dropped ahead of the June 17th release, giving us a haunting peek at what’s coming.
Springtrap isn’t just a spooky face — he’s a calculated, sadistic nightmare come to life. His design screams decay and menace, but it’s the gameplay mechanics that really turn up the horror. He’ll be known in-game as “The Animatronic,” and his unique Power and Perks push the limits of psychological and tactical gameplay. His perks — Help Wanted, Phantom Fear, and Haywire — are tailor-made for creating chaos across the map. Whether it’s compromising generators to shorten cooldowns, revealing terrified Survivors through involuntary screams, or punishing players who think they’ve outsmarted him during the Endgame — this killer thrives on unpredictability and fear.
Let’s talk about the new map too — “The Security Room.” Fans of Five Nights at Freddy’s will feel right at home (or completely unsettled) here. The map’s layout includes a system of Security Doors that act like teleportation points for both Killer and Survivors. If you’re Springtrap and you pop out of a door while someone’s distracted? That’s an instant grab, a brutal jumpscare, and a moment that’ll live rent-free in your head. Survivors can use the Security Cameras too, but with a high risk — because Springtrap can always be just one door away.
This crossover isn’t just fan service — it’s a well-thought-out evolution of Dead by Daylight’s design. Springtrap brings a blend of long-range tracking and up-close aggression that taps into FNAF’s signature dread. And lore-wise, it fits like a glove. Afton, in his decaying animatronic form, is the perfect vessel for The Entity’s endless cycle of violence. His bloodlust, his twisted intelligence, and that jump-scare-heavy playstyle make him one of the most disturbing Killers we’ve seen in a while.
For long-time fans of both franchises, this is a dream (or nightmare) come true. And for newer players? There’s never been a better time to step into the Fog. Just be careful where you hide — because now, the cameras are watching… and Springtrap is always just a door away.
