Dystopian parallel universe in Dead by Daylight
What do you think about these two outfits? Do they have a meaning or are they just fancy and not lore connected?
Nea Karlsson Outfit - Release Date July 3rd:
- Name: "Graff-Crafter"
- Description: "She hit the streets with her art to escape the mundane life she'd been forced to live miles away from her home country."
- Collection: "Neon Swirl"
Jeff Johansen Outfit - Release Date 17th July:
Name: "Unhinged Rider"
Description: "Disillusioned and alienated by the now dystopian and desertic West Coast, Jeff hit the road never to return."
Collection: "Mad Road"
Also, do you think the date on the nea one is meaningful? It wouldn't make sense, bc nea was on the asylum at the same time as nurse before she gets taken by the entity, which means, that nea wasnt in the real world in 2021.

That Jeff outfit screams Mad Max reference to me.
Even the name "Mad Road"; is definitely a reference to either ' The Road Warrior' (a Mad Max movie) or 'Mad Max: Fury Road'.

As for Nea, while I'll admit we don't really have a specific time frame for Nea in her lore (it's as likely that she's canonically a rebellious tagging teen from 2008 as she is a rebellious tagging teen from 2021) I find it highly unlikely she was spray painting buildings and ditching high school to go to skate parks in the early 20th Century; which is when Nurse is from.
Nea was taken from the same place as Sally Smithson; not the same time.
Given that we know that the Entity and her Realms exist outside of time and that she can take whoever she wants from whenever she wants; Nea could easily have always been from 2021.

As for overall lore significance, there's never been anything stopping the Entity taking people from vastly different worlds.
It's entirely possible that Mad Max Jeff is canon; just in an alternate world variant of the one our beloved fat metal Jesus is from.
-
TL;DR - Jeff is inspired by Mad Max and Nea isn't from the same time as Nurse.
These outfits are probably just intended to look cool, but if they are part of the lore they aren't saying anything that has already been possible.

Basically this, a lot of people seem to forget that probably all of the killers/survivors we get are from different dimensions, timeliness & alternate reality's. Even when we have the same survivor in a lobby, it's not the exact same person. It looks like them and they share the same name but are from who knows where and are a completely different "person".
Anyways, off of that, like @TheRockstarKnight said, they're probably just intended to look great(they do) but correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't the devs say that skins have no impact on the lore? Excluding licensed characters, of course, because mostly the stuff they pull from them is from the franchise. Like I said, please correct me if I'm wrong.

As far as I know they haven't explicitly said one way or another outside of (IIRC) a statement that the outfits weren't necessarily things from the character's past - and that they might be from futures that never were.
Of course I'm by no means an expert. Maybe they have said so and I just missed it.
