Stranger Things has returned for a new season, and Dead By Daylight fans have started a petition to get the removed Chapter 13 DLC back to the game.
So far, Dead By Daylight has had a good year, and June is a particularly exciting month for the community. There’s the Anniversary event, as well as the release of Chapter 24 with a new original killer titled The Dredge.
Why Was Stranger Things Chapter 13 DLC Removed From Dead By Daylight And Will It Be Back
While The Dredge and Haddie Kaur are highly anticipated. Many new Netflix subscribers are still mourning the loss of perhaps the most popular show on the platform.
WHY REMOVE STRANGER THINGS IF YOU’RE DEAD BY DAYLIGHT?
Because BeHaviour Interactive’s licence to use the Netflix IP expired, Stranger Things left and was deleted from Dead By Daylight.
The DBD FAQ at BeHaviour Interactive states:
“As with any live-service game, expect frequent updates, additions, and the rare alteration. With Stranger Things, our focus remains on maintaining the characters’ legacy within our game for fans who have purchased or plan to purchase them.”
Game director Mathieu Côté told Shacknews in September 2021 that licencing was a problem.

DBD PETITION WOULD LIKE IT TO RETURN:
Schmuckles, a DBD YouTuber, has started a petition to bring Stranger Things back to Dead By Daylight.
The petition has 9,000 signatures as of this writing, with a goal of 10,000. If you bought the DLC before it was removed, you can still play as the Demogorgon and other characters like Steve and Nancy.
The Hawkins National Laboratory Map was removed permanently for Chapter 13 owners. There’s no indication that BeHaviour Interactive will put the DLC back in the marketplace for newcomers who don’t own Chapter 13.
There’s also no indication that a future Dead By Daylight and Stranger Things crossover will take place as the show goes viral with part 2 of season 4 dropping finally. However, with the show set to return for a final season 5, both the parties could come to an agreement owing to the brouhaha their union brought about the last time around.
