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.
