Can expect that we will ever get replay feature in this game?

I know you can record your games, but seeing it from the perspective of other players is something else.

You should be able to see footage from all players, or maybe it should be the whole map rendered with a free camera, like in some games.

Why is this important? It allows you to see yours and other players habits and decisions, and that greatly improves learning process of the game. Seeing a mindgame from opponent perspective can completly change what you know about them. Seeing how fast and how many players were working on a generator at a time allows you to learn to apply pressure as a killer and how to work most efficiently as a survivior.

The other thing is an ability to see how game mechanics/techs exactly work, outside of controlled enviroment. You will also be able to see when when it was your skill that was at fault, and when you played right but a bug/lag stopped you from succeeding.

Im not sure how hard replays are to implement, but I know for sure that many games that use Unreal Engine have fully rendered maps with many camera options in replays, for example Fortnite. Dead by Daylight is also built with UE, so maybe its possible too.
