    It's a difficulty with the Nightmare on Elm Street license. It's all probably been made a little more complicated due to the domestic rights to NOES passing back to Wes Craven's estate in 2019. Freddy was added to DbD in 2017 when Warner Bros and New Line Cinema still completely owned the franchise

    Presumably the original license agreement did not include featuring Freddy on more modern versions of the game, or at least not any of the ones that were released after the rights changed hands (like DbD Mobile, Switch, and now Next-Gen). They can't legally use Freddy in these ports of DbD right now.

    I'm inclined to guess that BHVR is probably working on arranging a new licensing agreement with Craven's estate so that Freddy can be added everywhere that he's missing. Until something is worked out though, there's not really anything they can do with him.

    They said that Freddy and Quentin will come to Switch. I guess they will come back to Playstation as well around the same time.

    (Rumours are that this will happen when the Chapter goes live, but no official announcement yet)

    We have said officially (on Twitter) that The Nightmare on Elm Street chapter will be live on PS5 with the next major update - but the exact date is not given.

    Good to know, just for anyone else, this is the Tweet:

    But it would be pretty nice if that would be announced ingame or on the Forums/Discord as well. Like, I follow the Twitter-Account and did not see that because it was just a reply to another post. Others who dont follow Social Media will not know it at all.

    Having it ingame will most likely also help your Support because they might get less "Where are my Characters?"-post from players who "lost" Freddy/Quentin.
