Assassin’s Creed: Shadows and Dead by Daylight Crossover Revealed – Ubisoft and Behaviour Unite for Special In-Game Quest

In one of the most unexpected yet thrilling collaborations of 2025, Ubisoft Quebec and Behaviour Interactive have joined forces to create a surprise crossover event between Assassin’s Creed: Shadows and Dead by Daylight.

Dubbed the “ultimate Canadian collaboration,” this stealth-meets-survival horror team-up will bring the eerie energy of The Fog to feudal Japan, blending the tense gameplay DNA of both iconic franchises.

Step into the Fog… in Assassin’s Creed: Shadows?

Announced via Ubisoft’s official Assassin’s Creed Twitter/X account with the cryptic message:

“Step into The Fog. A new Dead by Daylight quest begins. Slip through the shadows. Survive the ordeal.”

The teaser has left fans buzzing—and confused. While Dead by Daylight’s channels amplified the post, no direct content was listed on Behaviour Interactive’s official May roadmap for DBD, suggesting this may be an event or questline inside Assassin’s Creed: Shadows, not the other way around.

What Could the Crossover Look Like?

While details remain scarce, here's what we can infer so far:

• A limited-time quest or event in Assassin’s Creed: Shadows that draws thematic or narrative inspiration from Dead by Daylight.
• Possible visual or gameplay nods to DBD—such as chase mechanics, stealth horror encounters, or environmental storytelling pulled straight from The Fog.
• A darker tone or side quest designed to mirror the terror and tension of Dead by Daylight, but framed through Assassin’s Creed’s stealth-RPG systems.

Given that Ubisoft has been teasing a "special collaboration" on the AC Shadows roadmap, it’s safe to assume this crossover will be a timed in-game event launching as part of the broader post-launch content rollout.
