As a big fan of Jason Voorhees I am more than willing to admit that I had given up on seeing any news related to him in the modern era. I just assumed that the negative situation regarding his appearance rights would devour him completely forevermore – even a brief stint in MultiVersus ended in disaster.
But consider me downright shooketh, as a mate took the time to make me aware that Dead By Daylight had some anniversary news: The kind that wears a hockey mask.
The mask is on. The machete is dripping. The massacre has begun.

You could knock me down with a feather. I thought the lack of Jason Voorhees in Dead by Daylight was to forever be a universal constant, like death and taxes. But somehow, he returned.
Jason will be keeping some pretty killer (heh) company, given that he will be rubbing shoulders with a veritable smorgasbord of murderous mugs from properties like Halloween, Alien, Evil Dead, Silent Hill, Chucky, A Nightmare on Elm Street, Saw and Scream.
And of course, I will be getting dragged back in to see how they do my boy justice. No details on how he plays or any of the other supporting content has been revealed as yet, but I assume a machete will be involved. Maybe a Camp Crystal Lake map? Does DbD even do water?
Ki ki ki, ma ma ma… you know the rest.
Are you shocked to see the slasher titan finally appear in DBD? Let us know in the comments or on social media.
Known throughout the interwebs simply as M0D3Rn, Ash is bad at video games. An old guard gamer who suffers from being generally opinionated, it comes as no surprise that he is both brutally loyal and yet, fiercely whimsical about all things electronic. On occasion will make a youtube video that actually gets views.
