Dead by Daylight Players Hopeful for Jason’s Arrival After Multiversus Announcement

Jason Voorhees will be making his debut in Multiversus, and although the community is excited to see the notorious killer join the game, they are also anticipating what this could mean for his role in Dead by Daylight.

The character has been embroiled in a lengthy legal battle that has prevented him from being featured in games such as Dead by Daylight, and ultimately led to the closure of his own Friday the 13th game.

Despite the conclusion of the legal battle, Jason is ready to make a comeback in the pop culture mainstream. This includes WB’s upcoming relaunch of Multiversus, which may seem like an unusual re-entry into the spotlight for Jason. However, fans are eagerly anticipating his return and the potential opportunities it may bring.

The release date for Multiversus’ return to storefronts has been announced through the new launch trailer, available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qX5AUVIAg_o&t=151s. In the trailer, Jason is seen coming to Joker’s aid in a battle against the game’s heroes.

Upon playing the game, players were immediately drawn to its design, which was noticeably more cartoonish than what they were used to seeing from the character.

Despite Jason’s long-standing reputation for being strong and muscular, this particular depiction exaggerates his features with oversized shoulders and disproportionately small legs. As a user on the Multiversus subreddit points out, “Jason clearly never missed a day at the gym.”

Despite this, the community was struck with another realization as they realized that the serial killer would arrive in this lighthearted fighting game before appearing in Dead by Daylight, which already features well-known horror villains such as Michael Myers and Freddy Krueger.

Despite the ongoing legal dispute and the recent announcement of the Jason Universe brand, many fans are hopeful that this could lead to the long-awaited arrival of the character in Behavior Interactive’s asymmetrical multiplayer game.

According to a post on the Dead by Daylight subreddit, a user believes that the possibility of his inclusion in the game is now “very likely.”

One fan is confident that it could come true in the near future, stating that the next possible licensed chapter could be released for the game’s anniversary next year. Furthermore, the fan notes that June 13th, which happens to be Jason’s birthday, falls on a Friday the 13th next year, making it the perfect date for a potential release.

Despite speculation about his inclusion in Dead by Daylight, it is evident that his arrival in Multiversus is a pleasant surprise.
