Teaser Speculation
So! Chain! Gravel! What did you get from the teaser? To me it's obvious...
PENNYWISE IS BASICALLY CONFIRMED

It's clearly Pennywise that shapeshifted into chains! How did I not see that!?

the code name of the killer is 'ukraine', while the code name of the map is 'Saloon'.

I think it's an original design.

That doesn't really mean anything.

By the way, I dont think its a licensed killer of any sort, licensed killers usually get revealed without teasers.

(Guys I don't actually think it's Pennywise. I personally think we're getting another beast-like killer)

I don’t understand why they would make another big monstrous killer they just made two and these killers almost always end up telegraphing way to much through sound

Well: somebody break out the red twine, this is my type of forum post.
Personally, I think it’s a Fisherman.
The reason for that being, the state of the chain. It’s off rusted; meaning it’s aged over time or it’s been afflicted by Water Damage.
Secondly; the chapters codename really hasn’t been anything of basis to go off of in terms of content. However, if I were to go off of said codename, I’d imagine this chapter would be in a location near Romania, or Bulgaria, as it’d likely take place in the Black Sea if it were to be a Fisherman chapter. The only thing that brings this debate into question is the way the chain moves; it’s at a walking pace, only for it to suddenly be chained up to SOMETHING. It could very much be a whip killer as well, as for the DOTF teaser, the Plague’s incense (or lantern) was the first thing we saw. The chains themselves could be apart of the killers weapon.
This also entails the killer being teased before the survivor.
So, what are the characters going to be looking like; release wise?
Basing off of the older release patterns, the following chapter will have a female killer and male survivor.
Stranger Things essentially reset the cycle; Getting two survivors and a monstrous killer; only to be followed with the release of Cursed Legacy, aka Oni (a male killer) and Yui (a female survivor). I’d predict that this time around it flip flops— and this time it will be a female killer and male survivor. But, it could also just as easily be a male killer and survivor, as that type of release hasn’t happened since DOTF (two female characters) so perhaps it’s on the flip side this time.
However, the previous paragraph is just theoretical, and could be just purely coincidence. These could change depending on what the consumer (the fan base) wants— as (in my opinion) On the survivor side of things, female characters sold better. Maybe as time passes they cater to the other part of the fan base that wants a male survivor.
But then again... it’s just a chain at this point. Someone needs to take the tinfoil away from me.

Oni and Demo feel lumbering to me, I know they have the same 115% speed but they don’t feel like they move like Freddy or GF for example... anyone else or is it just me because they’re bigger?

I think it’s the animation on how the arms move apex legends had the same issue where every character moved the same speed but because the arms moved at different rates for the animation people complained that they moved slower

Saloon does imply old west. Possible the killer will be from that era.
If you look up prisoners from that time it's the old stereotype of the black & white striped outfits with the ball and chain.

It's probably a unique killer who's power is similar to the. . . uh. . . Strangler? From Last Year. Grabs people from a distance and pulls them to him.

Really?
Freddy had a teaser. Pig had a teaser. Leatherface had a teaser.
