Dead by Daylight x NieR: Automata Adds 2B, A2, and Emil to the Fog
Behaviour Interactive has confirmed DbD’s crossover with NieR: Automata. The set goes live on October 7, 2026, and brings 2B, A2, and Emil into the game, letting survivors experience DbD’s take on the androids' signature looks.
Reception to the announcement and reveal has been mixed so far. Players and fans find the adoption of said characters to be somewhat inaccurate or unfaithful to the designs or relation of characters to their role, specifically with Emil being used for the Killer. Meanwhile, others are just hoping that the developers could return to this collab in the future with Nier and include some other notable characters from the franchise.
