Dead by Daylight Is Losing Another Horror Icon
This is Dead by Daylight's last Halloween with Chucky, as the horror movie icon is being removed from the game for good.
Just days before Halloween, horror game Dead by Daylight is set to lose another iconic character. In November, developer Behaviour Interactive will retire Chucky from multiplayer, giving fans a limited window to claim the content before it disappears. This isn't the first time the horror franchise has shed a beloved icon. Over the years, collaborations with various horror universes have proven temporary due to licensing complications.
Hellraiser's Pinhead was axed in 2025, while Michael Myers disappeared in early 2026. The Halloween license expired without renewal, perhaps due to Illfonic's Halloween: The Game launch in September. Rumors suggested Chucky might be next, and these fears were confirmed. Behaviour Interactive announced on October 23 that fans had until November 24 to acquire the Chucky DLC.
The last chance sale will run on the Epic Games Store, Xbox, and Nintendo Switch from October 26 to November 24 at half price ($2.49). PlayStation fans will get their chance starting November 2, while Steam players will have until November 10. After this date, Chucky will no longer be available for purchase, though owners will retain access to the character and its add-ons.
