Dead by Daylight has struck a major blow in its ongoing battle with fellow multiplayer slasher Friday the 13th: The Game. Both Dead by Daylight and Friday the 13th offer similar asymmetrical “victims vs. slasher” gameplay, but the latter game has had a big advantage – it’s got Jason. Sure, Dead by Daylight has Michael Myers and Leatherface, but they’re not quite as iconic as Jason Voorhees.

　　Well, with Halloween looming, Dead by Daylight has deployed the big guns, adding the only horror movie villain more popular than Jason – Freddy Krueger. You can catch a brief look at Freddy in action, below.

　　Dead by Daylight’s A Nightmare on Elm Street chapter includes Freddy, new survivor Quentin Smith (based on the protagonist of the 2010 Elm Street reboot), and the Badham Preschool map. As with all Dead by Daylight killers, Freddy comes with his own set of unique perks:
