The Scooby‑Doo × Dead by Daylight crossover is scheduled for December 2026 as the Scooby‑Doo Collection.

Quick answer

  • When: December 2026
  • What: A cosmetic collection (skins, not a full story chapter)
  • How: Officially confirmed by Behaviour Interactive during DBD’s 10th‑anniversary stream and on socials.

What’s actually coming?

The Scooby‑Doo integration is being treated as a cosmetic collection , not a new narrative chapter. Key points:

  • Survivor cosmetics:
    • At least one confirmed skin is a Dwight dressed as Scooby‑Doo in a Scooby‑shaped onesie with a collar/backpack accessory.
* Players expect more survivor skins loosely matching the Mystery Inc. gang (e.g., Claudette as Velma, etc.), though those are still speculation from the community.
  • Killer cosmetics:
    • In an interview noted by the community, the Scooby‑Doo collection was said to not include killer cosmetics , to preserve the franchise’s family‑friendly image.
  • Content type:
    • Called a “collection” in DBD terminology, meaning a set of unlockable outfits and accessories rather than maps, new lore, or abilities.

Context in the 10th‑anniversary roadmap

The Scooby‑Doo reveal happened alongside several other big announcements for DBD’s 10th year:

  • Terrifier crossover (Art the Clown) in November 2026.
  • Diablo IV items in October 2026.
  • A new mall map and modding tools planned for 2027.
  • A Dead by Daylight film set for 2027, directed by Thordur Palsson.

So if you’re waiting specifically for the Scooby‑Doo part, you don’t need to wait for 2027: the official timeframe is December 2026. Exact launch date (e.g., 5 December vs 12 December) has not been publicly specified yet beyond “this December.”

Why only skins and not a full chapter?

Behaviour appears to be limiting Scooby‑Doo to cosmetics to:

  • Keep the tone and branding consistent with the original cartoon’s family‑friendly nature.
  • Avoid adding a full horror narrative around the Mystery Inc. gang, which could clash with their core story.

That pattern matches other crossovers that have been purely cosmetic in DBD, where the focus is on outfits and accessories rather than new killers or story chapters. Short TL;DR:
Scooby‑Doo is coming to Dead by Daylight in December 2026 as a cosmetic collection , with at least one confirmed Scooby‑onesie skin for Dwight and no killer cosmetics confirmed so far.
