Clues Pointing to an Alan Wake Crossover

The teaser, sparse on details, features a flashlight—a significant tool in both Dead by Daylight and Alan Wake's gameplay. It strongly hints at the introduction of an Alan Wake character to Dead by Daylight, fitting the game's history of successful crossovers.

The thematic elements within the teaser offer compelling hints. The flashlight, emblematic of Alan Wake's arsenal against the Dark Presence, and the presence of bloodstained papers, synonymous with the protagonist's profession as a writer, strongly suggest an Alan Wake crossover.

However, potential challenges loom regarding character identity within the game, given the resemblance between Alan Wake and his antagonist, Mr. Scratch. Fans speculate that a Survivor-only DLC might be more feasible to avoid confusion.
