Springtrap Stalks Survivors in New ‘Dead by Daylight: Five Nights at Freddy’s’ Trailer [Watch]

Ahead of Springtrap heading to Dead by Daylight tomorrow as part of the upcoming Five Nights at Freddy’s crossover, Behaviour Interactive has released a new trailer featuring the new Killer stalking his prey. As he does, a Survivor watches from the Security Office, though the safety of the Security Office is short-lived.

Springtrap, whose innovations Behaviour Interactive touts as being “the perfect vessels for darkness,” is part of the biggest Chapter to date for Dead by Daylight. Springtrap’s gameplay presents a Killer that specializes in surveillance, pursuit, and scaring Survivors in unexpected ways.

In addition to sporting a large pizza knife, Springtrap also wields a fire axe that functions as his Power. Throwing the axe creates an AEO where it lands capable of revealing Survivors to the Killer. Lodge the axe in a Survivor’s back, and they’ll be forced to remove it themselves or ask for help from an ally. Removing the axe from a Survivor as Springtrap, however, and players trigger a terrifying jump scare that sees Springtrap scream in your face, ending with the victim being grabbed by the Killer to be put on a hook.

Behaviour Interactive have made sure to adapt the Five Nights at Freddy’s Security Office as a key element for the new Chapter. Whenever Springtrap is selected as the Killer in any Trial, seven Security Doors will spawn across the Map. Survivors and Killers can both enter these doors, passing through the Security Office to teleport to any other door around the Map. Should Springtrap and a Survivor cross paths within the Office, Springtrap will grab the Survivor (with the expected jump scare).

Interacting with the doors as a Survivor also lets you access and switch between cameras located above each of the other doors around the Map. This feature can be used to scout ahead for Springtrap, reveal him to other Survivors, and pick which door they’ll exit through should they decide to enter the Security office. Survivors will need to manage a shared battery for all camera and door interactions. Not only that, but Springtrap has the ability to short out cameras and doors for a period of time by striking the door with his axe.

Dead by Daylight: Five Nights at Freddy’s will be available June 17 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam, the Epic Games Store and the Windows Store.
