Dead by Daylight's NieR: Automata Crossover Is Live With 2B, A2, and Emil Skins

Dead by Daylight has officially launched its long-anticipated NieR: Automata crossover, bringing three iconic characters from the beloved action RPG into the asymmetric survival horror game. The new cosmetic collection includes skins for 2B, A2, and Emil, dropping just ahead of Halloween 2026 and giving fans of both franchises a stylish reason to jump back into The Fog. After weeks of speculation surrounding the collaboration, Behaviour Interactive has now fully revealed the complete skin line for players to get their hands on.

The crossover is available today and arrives at a fitting time, with Halloween just around the corner and demand for fresh cosmetics at a seasonal high. The collection joins a long line of high-profile Dead by Daylight collaborations, and for many fans it stands out as one of the most exciting yet. The inclusion of fan-favorite android warriors 2B and A2 alongside the eccentric Emil is drawing strong reactions from the NieR community, with some going as far as to say the collab has renewed their hopes for a sequel to NieR: Automata itself.
