Dead by Daylight's Wildest Dreams: Stephen King, Killer Cars & M3GAN
Dead by Daylight's creators dream of iconic horror crossovers, from Stephen King to M3GAN, blending thrilling gameplay with legendary characters and surprises.
The fog of Dead by Daylight has swallowed horror titans from Michael Myers to Alien's Xenomorph, but Behaviour Interactive shattered expectations by adding real people like Nicolas Cage. đ Now, developers are eyeing the ultimate icon: Stephen King himself! Game director Mathieu CĂŽtĂ© admits it's a long shotâKing famously despises adaptations and video gamesâyet the team fantasizes about the horror maestro becoming a playable Survivor. After all, King's self-inserts in novels like The Dark Tower prove he'd fit perfectly beside Cage. But why stop there? The studio's imagination is revving into overdrive...

âš Stephen King: The Unlikely Survivor
CĂŽtĂ© and creative director Dave Richards are self-proclaimed "huge fans," spending hours brainstorming how King could evade killers. Though they acknowledge his aversion to gaming ("probably never going to happen"), they cling to hope. Imagine King repairing generators while quoting his own books! đ The irony? He'd join Nicolas Cage in breaking DbD's "fiction-only" barrierâproving anyone can become Entity bait.
đ„ Christine: The Killer Car Craze
Senior designer Jean Escalante has a wilder pitch: Christine, Stephen King's demonic 1958 Plymouth Fury! đ How? Through a joked-about "Dead by Daylight Kart" crossoverâMario Kart meets DbD chaos. Escalante laughs, "We imagine Christine stalking survivors like a Blue Shell!". But could a car hook victims? Escalante shrugs: "Your imagination goes funny places..." Yet remember: Chucky seemed impossible tooâuntil Behaviour made a tiny doll terrifying in 2023!
đ€ M3GAN: The Doll Revolution Continues
Escalante's other obsession? Adding M3GAN, the murderous AI doll, as a Killer. He admits sheepishly, "Iâve never seen the movie," but her viral knife-walking scenes scream DbD potential. đȘ
With Five Nights at Freddy's already crossing over, killer toys are DbD's new niche. M3GAN could deploy drones or hack generatorsâfresh mechanics for the Entity's realm. Escalante muses, "Imagine her lifting Stephen King onto a hook..." proving no dream is too absurd.
