Ahead of Dead by Daylight’s PAX East 2025 panel and livestream Friday, screenshots from a potential collaboration with The Witcher leaked online via MSN and IGN.

The leak was first noticed by Reddit, which was amusingly undecided about whether or not the leak was real — “I wouldn’t be surprised if it is actually real but it’s just such low effort it looks fake,” writes one cynical Redditor — before being subsequently picked up by gaming media hours before the livestreamed panel was set to launch.

Real or not, the answer is likely to be revealed very soon — the Dead by Daylight PAX East 2025 Year 9 anniversary panel will take place at 11am May 9, and be part of the PAX East 2205 livestream, which can be watched right here on Popverse.

You don't need to beat the game to prepare for the next one—here are all the major new and upcoming games coming our way.
