Behaviour Interactive unveils fresh details about Springtrap, Dead by Daylight's newest Killer from Five Nights at Freddy's, launching June 17, 2025. The twisted animatronic introduces terrifying new mechanics that will delight FNAF fans.

Springtrap's Deadly New Abilities

Following yesterday's PTB launch, Behaviour shared exclusive insights with IGN about Springtrap's gameplay mechanics. The killer wields signature animatronic terror unlike anything previously seen in Dead by Daylight, complete with authentic jump scare mechanics lifted straight from the FNAF franchise.

The developers describe this crossover as potentially "one of the most ambitious Chapters yet" thanks to Springtrap's unique design. Known as The Animatronic in Dead by Daylight, this axe-wielding yellow rabbit brings fresh horror dynamics while maintaining his notorious legacy from FNAF lore.

Springtrap attacks with dual weapons: a brutal pizza knife for basic attacks and a fire axe for his special Power. The axe serves both as projectile and tracking tool - when thrown accurately, it pins Survivors briefly while triggering iconic FNAF-style jump scares.

Authentic Five Nights Experience

The crossover extends beyond gameplay with premium cosmetics, including:

• A Legendary Yellow Rabbit outfit voiced by Matthew Lillard (SFM/FNAF movie)
• The terrifying Glitchtrap variant
• Toxic Springtrap and Clown Springtrap outfits
• Special Freddy Fazbear shirts for Survivors

Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria Map

The Chapter transforms Dead by Daylight with Freddy Fazbear's Pizzeria - a painstakingly recreated version of the infamous restaurant featuring:

• The entrance lobby and dining hall
• The sinister kitchen area
• Janitor's closet
• Cameos from Freddy's band members

The map contains numerous Easter eggs while introducing interactive security elements - cameras, doors, and monitoring stations give Survivors new tools to track Springtrap's movements... until the power runs out.
