Is Stranger Things returning to Dead by Daylight?

gamepur.com:

The Stranger Things DLC was removed from Dead by Daylight in November 2021. After a little over a year in rotation, the Killer and two Survivors that the DLC added were withdrawn from sale, only now available to those that purchased the expansion while it was live. However, some suggest that the DLC will make a comeback, and this guide outlines all the evidence suggesting why Stranger Things could be returning to Dead by Daylight.

Stranger Things season 4 has sparked several rumors that seem to indicate that the series will be returning to Dead by Daylight at some point in 2022. In this section, we’ve broken down every rumor, explaining whether they’ve been debunked or not to date.

Perhaps the most exciting rumor is that Vecna, the villain from Stranger Things season 4, will become a Killer in a new version of the Stranger Things DLC for Dead by Daylight. However, the in-game model that sparked this was quickly found to be fan-made and has since been deleted. Despite the image being fan-made, the rumor that Vecna will come to the game seems to have some credence, with DBDLeaks, a prominent and accurate leaker of all things Dead by Daylight, looking into it to identify the truth behind it.

A lot of work went into creating the original Stranger Things Killer and Survivors in the Dead by Daylight DLC. While no one can expect official licenses to last forever with a live service game, fans did expect it to last longer than a year. Once again, DBDLeaks has previously stated that the DLC will return by Christmas 2022.
