Ubisoft has officially confirmed that Assassin’s Creed Shadows will be crossing over with the iconic horror game Dead by Daylight on May 27, 2025. The announcement came via a post on the official Assassin’s Creed Twitter account, teasing fans with the phrase: “Step into The Fog”, along with a short teaser video. While specific details are still scarce, anticipation is sky-high.
🌟 A Major Win for Ubisoft
Assassin’s Creed Shadows, released on March 20, has already become Ubisoft’s second best-selling title of 2025, trailing only behind blockbusters like Monster Hunter Wilds and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered. With its stunning visuals (especially on the PlayStation 5 Pro) and a compelling dual-protagonist narrative, the game has captivated fans worldwide.
The story, which features two heroes with drastically different combat styles, has been praised for its depth and dynamic gameplay. This success sets the stage perfectly for its high-profile crossover with Dead by Daylight.
👻 What to Expect from the Crossover
While Ubisoft and Behaviour Interactive haven’t revealed full details yet, here’s what fans are speculating (and hoping) for:
-
A New Killer inspired by one of Shadows’ protagonists (likely Naoe or Yasuke), leveraging stealth and silent kills.
-
A New Survivor or Quest featuring Assassin’s Creed lore and mechanics adapted to Dead by Daylight’s tense gameplay.
-
Exclusive In-Game Items, such as Assassin-themed outfits or charms.
-
A Themed Realm or Map, possibly set in feudal Japan to match Shadows’ Edo-period aesthetic.
This isn’t Behaviour Interactive’s first big crossover — Dead by Daylight has previously teamed up with iconic franchises like Resident Evil, Silent Hill, Stranger Things, and recently teased collaborations with Five Nights at Freddy’s and The Witcher.
📅 Crossover Launch: May 27
The Assassin’s Creed Shadows x Dead by Daylight event launches on May 27, with updates expected across PC, PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and more. It will likely coincide with new content or seasonal events in Dead by Daylight.
The blend of stealth and survival horror is a natural match, and this crossover could be one of the most exciting content drops of the year. Whether you’re an Assassin or a Survivor, May 27 is a date to mark on your gaming calendar.
