Description[]
The Stranger Things Chapter includes a new map, the Underground Complex, located below the Hawkins National Laboratory. The Demogorgon is the new untamable Killer. Against the Demogorgon stands not one, but two new Survivors: Nancy Wheeler, a tough aspiring journalist, and Steve Harrington, a former high school jock with a knack for finding trouble.
Killer: The Demogorgon[]
The Demogorgon's Info[]
 |
A blooming mouth full of needle-like teeth for a face, large, curved, razor-sharp claws, and powerful legs to pounce on victims, make the Demogorgon a frightening monster to face in any dimension. It is a nightmare of unrestrained, feral rage as it hunts down its prey and rips it to pieces, devouring every last morsel of flesh and gore, leaving nothing for scavengers. The creature is untouched by any sense of compassion or restraint. Looming over its victim, it shows no doubt or mercy, just the pure instinct of its insatiable bloodlust as it delivers the deathblow. A perfect hunter, the Demogorgon is a macabre testament to the horrors lurking in the Upside Down and why it was choice pickings for The Entity. |

Steve's Info[]
The Former Jock
Popular and arrogant, yet compassionate, Steve Harrington is an unlikely mentor and leader. He often acts as a surrogate big brother to a younger boy named Dustin. He even helped him find his slimy inter-dimensional pet Demogorgon, D'Artagnan. His reputation as a protector grew and he soon became a sort of "babysitter" for a group of kids in Hawkins with a knack for messing around with strange and dangerous things. His courage is unmatched so that he was even able to fend off a Demogorgon when it threatened his friends. One evening he received a call for assistance from his friend Nancy Wheeler. He drove all the way to the Hawkins National Laboratory to see if she was okay. He searched the area but only found her notebook. Before he realised what was happening the ground opened up and a swirl of black mist filled his eyes. When he awakened he was in a strange place that seemed familiar but unfamiliar at the same time.

Chapter Retraction (2021-2023)[]
On 16 August 2021, one month short of two years after the Chapter was introduced to Dead by Daylight, the Developers had announced on their website that the Chapter would be leaving the Game three months later by 17 November 2021.
After that date, none of the Stranger Things content can be purchased anymore on any platform and there will be no new content made for the Chapter.
Any previously bought content will remain in the Game and usable, with Players continuing to be able to play with and against the Stranger Things characters in the Trials.
On 6 November 2023, almost two years after the Chapter left, it was announced that all of the content would be coming back to the game, including the map and the Character perks being exclusive again.
Trivia[]
- This Chapter marked the first Chapter to feature two Survivors instead of just one.
- This Chapter marked the first Chapter to leave Dead by Daylight in any form.
- This Chapter was first teased after the official Netflix Twitter account posted a tweet during E3 2019 which told players to "watch out" for upcoming projects with different companies. Behaviour, the developers behind Dead By Daylight, was one of them. Link
