Leaksbydaylight.
they added candyman, only thing officially confirmed is that it’s a new classic horror license.

Oh okay thanks. I was confused because I saw the official press release didn't mention a killer and then the image shows Candyman.

*Pls be fake* *Pls be fake*

Candyman is pretty likely though.
the voice actor gave some hints that he voiced in some video game(s) and followed BHVR recently on Twitter.

Oh my gosh!! Please please please!
Candyman and Helen...PLEASE!!!

Don't understand the hate over Candyman but I'm pretty certain that Candyman isn't coming this chapter but instead will be coming next chapter.

This is just my opinion. I personally don't think that Candyman will fit into the dead by daylight. He looks like Captain Hook from Peter Pan.

Do you want the Candyman part to be fake because at this point, it's basically 99% confirmed to be a licensed chapter.

Can't wait for Candyman!

Well we know it is a licensed killer next so if you think of a 'classic' killer that's been hugely requested by the dead by daylight community then it could be anyone.
0 -
Candyman is the last man standing from that group. We already have Leatherface, Myers, Freddy, Ghostface, and Pig. Candyman is the most requested classic killer we've never had. Candyman is the most likely candidate, IMO, and I'd love for Candyman to be added to the game. I've been requesting Candyman for years.
Now if you'll excuse me, there's a bee in my room...

a bhvr employee recently twitted "Man, this #deadbydaylight Anniversary is gonna bee pretty sweet!

Ayee, and Demogorgon, don't forget Demogorgon
on a legitimate note: I think between him, Jason and Pennywise they're the most requested killers. Although Scott Jund said it wouldn't be Candyman he also said he's not a reliable source. I personally believe there's a strong chance it could be Candyman but there's other possibilities.
0 -
It's gonna be Maya. I'm calling it.

Demogorgon isn't a classic killer, though. Also, unless Scott is a BHVR employee, he is indeed unreliable and I wouldn't take his opinion as the gospel truth.
2 -
It'd be cool if it was actually the monsters from A Quiet Place.
1 -
I disregarded his opinion initially as I grit my teeth when I hear someone say "oh this won't happen because I've seen so". Especially when there's no proof.
Also with how trending Stranger Things was last year, I'd say Demogorgon fits into the notion of a classic killer.

"Classic" means from the 80s and 90s, not 2016.
1 -
The show was set in the 80's so...
0 -
That's not how that works, at all. By that logic, a Xenomorph wouldn't be classic because it's "from the future".
8 -
Demogorgon is a classic killer, end of discussion.
0 -
It's not, though.
0 -
It's going to be Candyman.
The original dates for the new film, and E3 (where DBD was to attend), were at the same date as the planned chapter release. Tony Todd, the actor who plays Candyman, has been teasing a crossover since early March.
And now we have a Behaviour employee who just tweeted this:

Sweets to the sweet.
1 -
Guys. The new killer is "iconic" code named "wales". Its the Wolf Man.
0 -
It's 99.9% not going to be Candyman for Chapter 16 (maybe 17 though) because the movie got delayed. Also the guy who has predicted the last 4 killers said it's not him and I doubt he'd be wrong at this point.
1 -
I don't really hate the idea of Candyman, I would just rather have Chucky running around the map, with his laughter sending chills down my spine. I'd also love hearing the pitter patter of his feet while he runs.
I just hope if it is Candyman, they give him an interesting power and he doesn't become boring to go against like Freddy.
1 -
So you'd rather believe Scott over the blatant teasing of a Behaviour developer and the actor of Candyman himself Tony Todd?
9 -
People have been pointing out that the 4 looks a lot like Pyramid Head from Silent Hill. Honestly I'd find him much more terrifying than Candyman.
5 -
Man I really hope it is Pennywise that would be so sick
0 -
It would be interesting to actually have a licenced killer from a different media. Movies and TV are in, but to also reach into other video games; creepypastas; scp; artwork; theatre could offer so much in the way of expanding the game.
I don't know much about Candyman, so I'm fine regardless, but sourcing into all sorts of media would really open up a world of opportunity.
2 -
Does anybody else remember why everyone said it was Candyman? Oh right, because an actor from the Candyman series followed Dead by Daylight on Twitter. We really know how to blow things out of proportion.

What makes you so sure there will be a next chapter? From the text I've read, Matheiu Cote was quoted as saying "this last chapter" not this next chapter.. I have a feeling it's all balance patches from here on out until a dbd 2 maybe. And I mean come on, how much more can they do with killers in this design model? So many factors to balance, so many perks that accidentally have synergy in unexpected ways, all the spaghetti code... I think I'd be just about done after Candyman, if that's in fact what were getting here (all evidence points to yes)

This isn't the last chapter forever. MCote is talking about the upcoming CH16 as the last chapter they've finished.

As a humongous fan of SH, that wouldn't make a lick of sense. The whole thing about pyramid head is he is a manifestation of Henry's guilt over the murder of his wife. It is judgements slow, unmerciful arrival in flesh coming for him. The reason it was so beloved as an icon of video he horror is that it could have literally been anything, but the form was conceved in Henry's mind -
when the movie threw pyramid head in the movie with no proper context, it was pure fan service, which not everyone hated, but it put a bad taste in most mouths as it betrayed the very ideas and concepts behind silent hill. It was always about the psychological horror, the gear builing with your imagination... Also it was fun for people to attempt to decider the meaning behind the manifestations in the players mind.
That being said, I don't think silent hill is a viable source for this game to extract from anyway. The series is all but dead (and at this point, should probably just stay that way), the company who owns it refuses to sell for whatever reason (not that I think anyone's looking to buy) and the creatures in the he aren't even human in the first place, it makes no sense from a lore standpoint. How would the entity torment an imagined creature?(part of the Jacobs later-esq horror of the series was realizing that this could all be in the players mind to begin with).

Its licensed, but not candyman.

I mean I considered that, but that would be an absolutely strange way to phrase it. Why wouldn't he just say this "upcoming" chapter, or "next". I tend to put alot of emphasis on the word selection for a given context, so I assume most do, but I guess it could have been a slip - then again on these forums a few weeks ago, one of the headers read "if you ever had a question you wanted to ask the devs, now's your chance", and again, I don't see how they could go much further with creating new, viable killer interactions and gameplay.
But I'm willing to accept any evidence to the contrary!
0 -
They're French Canadian. English isn't their first language. It's a simple mistake, it's happened before.
4 -
I'm willing to believe guys, but based on the text and wording in several instances I must ask, is there anyone who can confirm 100% that this isn't the last chapter? Was a roadmap given, did the devs expressly say there will be more chapters, or did something else prove this to be true?
I'm just saying 16 is a well even number, this game has a smash Bros. Roster of killers already. 20 isn't a bad number either, I just wan a little confirm, not a big one.
0 -
No, nobody can confirm that, just like nobody can confirm if the chapter will even be released. It's impossible to prove a negative. However, based on all available evidence from the past 4 years, Occam's razor says they just misspoke.
1 -
Actually someone can confirm that... The devs.
But understood, you don't that evidence yourself. Does anyone else have any sort of confirmation? Legitimate question, not trying to argue semantics.
0 -
The devs can't confirm it either. Maybe their company goes bankrupt overnight or all their hard drives fail. Nobody can see the future.
I'm mentioning this because you want confirmation of future events, which is metaphysical knowledge. Nobody knows. All we can conclude is that based on the last 4 years, there will be more chapters after this.
0 -
I'd love to see pinhead, but I know candyman is more likely. I think the problem with candyman is that a lot of his terror and iconicness comes from him speaking, which the killers in dbd don't do.
Personally, I'd love to see an Alan wake chapter come to dbd. Darkness shrouded killer that gets burned by light, and a survivor that carries a flashlight seems tailor made for dbd.
1 -
You took what was a simple question of confirming whether or not there are plans to develop past this chapter, and turned it into an argument of metaphysics. I'm not even touching that, man.
The devs plan these things out months, even years in advance in some cases. If another chapter isn't already planned and in the late stages of development at this point, the likely answer is there will be no more chapters.
Considering were in the midst of a pandemic still, I don't expect we'd receive regular updates, so I get that. But as far as I can see, both our arguments are in the same boat. They're pure conjecture and theory craft until proven otherwise.... ERGO I'm asking someone with potentially more knowledge than you or me of the situation if there *IS confirmation one way or the other, and given the context clues I've seen, signs lead to potentially the final year of this game... But again I don't know that for sure.

That would be cool and great idea and they could make you havd echo vision

I would be soooo hyped... candyman doesn't have ######### on Pyramid Head he would fit right in with the nurse😏

Is no one going to talk about the Model of Candyman that appears in the Picture? where did it come from? is it the in-game model for Dead by daylight?
