Alan Wake made his long-awaited return in the critically acclaimed Alan Wake 2 last year – but now it looks like he’s set to debut in a Dead by Daylight crossover.

Posting on X, the official Dead by Daylight account shared a short video of a flickering flashlight. Fans of the Alan Wake games will know that a flashlight is the trademark tool in the titular protagonist’s arsenal. He uses it to fend off enemies from the Dark Place.

Text in the video reads: “Learn more on January 9”. That’s tomorrow, so presumably Dead by Daylight developer Behaviour Interactive will be sharing a trailer or gameplay footage, as well as a release date, for the Alan Wake crossover. Fans can also expect to find out what exactly the crossover will include.

Dead by Daylight is an asymmetrical multiplayer survival horror game which pits one Killer against a team of four Survivors.

Licensed characters (such as The Shape from Halloween, Pyramid Head from Silent Hill, and Nemesis from Resident Evil) from popular horror franchises have already featured in downloadable content packs for the game. Alan Wake will be the 17th such crossover.
