· Behaviour Interactive, the developer of Dead by Daylight, officially announced in a recent interview that 10 new license agreements are currently underway.
· These agreements are intended to be used to add new content and characters to the game over the next few years, and fans are eagerly anticipating which famous horror franchises will join the game.

· Mathieu Côté mentioned that some license negotiations have taken up to 4 years, while the shortest took a few weeks to a few months.
· He shared an interesting story about the game's content selection criteria, revealing an episode where they tried to add 'Teletubbies' to Dead by Daylight, but it was canceled due to negative parental perceptions.
· When asked about the possibility of collaboration with celebrities like Lady Gaga, Côté hinted at regular contact, sparking fans' curiosity.
· Regarding the potential addition of 'Maurice' as a customization option and the limits of gore, he stated that they haven't reached the limit yet and that content like 'Terrifier' would break records.

· The possibility of a second chapter for 'Five Nights at Freddy's (FNAF)' is highly anticipated. There's speculation that the Mimic from 'Security Breach: The Mimic' could appear as a new killer.
· FNAF was the second-largest collaboration in Dead by Daylight's history, and the development team has expressed interest in further collaborations.
· The upcoming release of a Springtrap plush toy through a recent collaboration with Youtooz demonstrates their ongoing relationship with FNAF.
· The news that Steel Wool Studios' next FNAF game is being developed with Unreal Engine 5 suggests a timely collaboration with Dead by Daylight, alongside the game's technical advancements.

· Recent statements from Mike D, co-creator of 'Bendy and the Dark Revival,' have increased the possibility of a collaboration with Dead by Daylight.
· Mike D's cryptic responses to fan questions, such as 'You can look forward to it' and 'There will be news soon,' strongly suggest Bendy's IP joining Dead by Daylight.
· The fact that Bendy was a popular choice in past fan polls for addition to Dead by Daylight also supports the possibility of collaboration.
· Mathieu Côté has also previously responded to questions about Bendy by saying he felt pressured and couldn't comment, indicating that Bendy's addition is likely a matter of time.
· Considering these circumstances, Bendy's addition to Dead by Daylight is expected to occur in 2028 or early 2029.

· With the commencement of collaboration with Paramount Pictures, there's a possibility of adding movie IPs like 'Smile' to Dead by Daylight.
· Robert Englund's (the actor who played Freddy Krueger) expressed interest in Dead by Daylight increases the likelihood of Freddy Krueger's addition.
· While a 'Marvel Hornets' version of Slenderman doesn't seem likely to join Dead by Daylight at this time, the possibility of other versions of the Slenderman IP being added remains open.
· 'Scream' was also included in recent licensing surveys, and given the movie series' continued popularity and the partnership with Paramount, its addition is highly probable.

· The actor from the movie 'Obsession' has responded positively to fan requests for a collaboration, and with a successful collaboration with Fortnite, the possibility of a Dead by Daylight collaboration is also being raised.
· Fortnite's official promotion of the 'Obsession' movie sets expectations that such horror IPs could also be added to Dead by Daylight.
· 'Obsession' is considered a candidate that could join Dead by Daylight as an unexpected surprise collaboration.

· In addition to the licenses discussed so far, there's potential for adding various horror IPs such as 'The Conjuring,' 'M3GAN,' and 'Wednesday.'
· Dead by Daylight can expand its game world not just within the horror genre, but through skin collaborations with unexpected IPs like 'Doom' and 'Berserk.'
· These smaller-scale skin collaborations could also be included in the 10 new licenses, further enriching the game's diversity.
