i think that's the '50% of canada (the word) is A (the letter)' joke
leaving us with CND

Oh my, I would never see it! Hum...

I hope so the devs would ruin him.

hmmm.... some anagraram of SIACNDEGG is 'gang dices' and 'ganged sic' which is what happened to Candyman, 'Caned Gigs' which again fits candyman

This reminds me of the sightings of UFOs or Aliens when seeing this silly photo, but why the S? We have S, A and I, the Name Springtrap fits those letters, I think I'm going crazy, I really love all 3 because these 2 photos make their presence here stronger.

Did the developpers already give hints outside of the official DBD account?
But the fact he said about the letter A... Seven (or eight if we count the picture) A in the first tweet and three A from the developper's tweet... I'd go for the A ad it was the letter of the day. I'm just wondering if the numbers are important.

mhnnn.... if it's 1997, and we have S-A-TWO-I we cooooooould argue it's meant to refer to the late Satoshi Kon and we're getting a Perfect Blue chapter

I'm not gonna pretend that I know Japanese, but that's only 5 characters. That's inconsistent with the English version's 7
1 -
To save y'all's time, that's also 'A' in Japanese (I don't know Japanese, just googled it). I suppose if we go with the theory of the 7 A's being 7 letters to guess, the word to guess in Japanese just has 5 characters.

Blight the werewolf and Twins the wendingo. Sleight of hand folks.
Could be SAturday

Damn it.

so, we're back at square one?

I'm currently learning Japanese. The symbol means A.

I honestly haven't got a clue. It may be a bluff, it may be a double bluff. Or it's completely unrelated.

Honestly with everything they're doing, I'm really confused on what's going on.

It was in reply to another tweet:
It quite blatantly drops "RT", two letters once again, but it's followed by Red Herring.
0 -
If it's NOT an actual Red Herring, we now have:
S I A R T
S R I T A
If it's nothing, we just have SIA, still.
0 -
They wrote RT, which means retweet I guess, while retweeting something. I don't know, everything seems like to have 1749372 interpretations possible.

I'm going to die in this cave speculating today

I'm gonna go ahead and say that the Red Herring is something to make us doubt it.
S I A R T
S p R I n g T R A p
Yeah, I'm just going with this now.

Part of me thinking Spiral, but to me that screams legendary skins for Amanda and Tapp rather than a chapter.
I think most people theories involving springtrap or candyman are more likely.
1 -
People are saying ISA as in Candyman's daughter but this does not align with the datamined content heavily hinting that this will be a paragraph killer.
At the absolute basics without assuming so much, we can concretely say there is an S and an A. I'm not including the I in what is fully concrete as that was not found on the main DBD twitter account but rather the Russian one, making me feel there is a possibility it was supposed to be shown later or specifically as a red herring. For that reason and playing it safe, I'm just keeping it as S and A.
Assuming it is a name being spelt out, the A would rule out Pennywise and the S would rule out Candyman. Other licenses such as Chucky or Alien would be ruled out for missing both or one of those letters.
With the assumption that it is a name, there is really only one licensed horror name that is highly requested that would fit:
Springtrap
With the other letters hinted as as I (circus teaser) and possibly RT (from one of their latest tweets), both of those fit as well.
Springtrap
With only the concrete letters though of S and A, it could be pandering out to spell "SAY IT" which is a main catchphrase in Candyman. Especially if you want to include the I, this can be plausible. However if you take the additional RT and assume it is not a red herring and an actual clue, this rules that out in favor of Springtrap.
I think that with time we will have to wait and see. If we end up seeing a letter such as Y I think it will most likely be Candyman hence it matching the phrase. For the mean time though, I deadass think it might be Springtrap. A bit of a stretch but could faintly be a hint, Springtrap's name was revealed before FNaF3 released by hiding random letters on a social media post.
If he comes in, I think people have a misconception that he will look like those ######### SFM renders with awful animation and horrendous texture work. I think he'd definitely look something more like this which would aesthetically be amazing in my opinion:
I know people bring up the Scott Cawthon drama (for the love of hell please don't even corrupt this thread with that #########), but he's handing FNaF over to another company and entirely retiring, the movie is most likely finished filming by now, their biggest game is about to drop later this year, and Scott could have easily changed his mind about crossovers.
Who knows what could be happening behind the scenes?
12 -
I never played FNaF, I'm totally indifferent on it coming to the game. So, I'm not trying to convince myself here, but this theory becomes bigger and bigger in my mind.
0 -
Please be aware that I've updated the OP to include all the known tweets we have. I've also changed the thread's name.
1 -
Now I do not understand, if it does not turn out to be Candyman, disappoint again.

Thanks! Much appreciated.

Just saying I think "Red Herring" is because it's not hinting at killer - it's going to be a code to redeem in the store. 1s2i7art...looks like beginning of code to me. 😂
0 -
A new charm, and exclusive to one role! Yay!
5 -
What if it's Jebediah Morningside, aka Tallman from Phantasm.
The A is in the 7th position. There are 2 I's in his last name and 1 S in his last name.
---
The other theory I have is it is a code of some sort. 7A, 2I, 1S. Which could be HKT or GJS. (The numbers seems important, they posted 2 clown icons before doing the 2 i's on the Clown Stage).
H is 7 letters from A. (G if you count the letter)
K is 2 letters from I (J if you count the letter)
T is 1 letter from S (S if you count the Letter)

Yup, and will be limited to first few that figure it out and can type it into the game the fastest. 😂

SAtanic rights of Dracula?
Dracula was highly predicted a few weeks ago.
1 -
Just found something interesting. If you use the number of letters instead of the letters, you get 217 which is the famous "Room 217" from Stephen Kings "The Shining".

Never mind, editing it again is far easier.

What if...
the extra i is unrelated to the hints
rt just stands for retweet
they give us a W tomorrow
we realize it's just to draw more attention to the saw stuff and we end up with 0 actual hints 🤗🙃
1 -
Someone noticed something after the update.
https://forum.deadbydaylight.com/en/discussion/271961/what-is-the-glowing-ring-on-survivors
Could it be like... The new Killer's power (but the HUD accidentely think the new Killer was on)?
2 -
Keep the I, could be Spiral and it's code for saw cosmetic for killer side since survivor side got mask for Meg
0 -
If it's not from the tutorial (which, upon closer look, seems to be the case) it's quite something...
It's golden. Honey? Bees? Candyman?
Hm. I was so sure...
2 -
You mean, it's something which happens in the tutorial? I've done it last time after an update, to get a charm. I didn't notice the circle.
The OP said it was against Huntress.
1 -
From the tutorial
It's a pulsating yellow ring, likely indicating a goal.
3 -
Oh I never had it. Right, it seems the mystery is solved and it's not a hint/clue for the next Killer.
0 -
"By my victim" is Candyman :O

Sorry, but I don’t understand how this relates back to the rings? It’s now been disproven they’re unrelated.
3 -
I'm really kidding, but what are the yellow rings?
0 -
They’re goal indicators from the tutorial. You can see for yourself in the first survivor one.
0 -
I don't remember it being there, in the survivor icons, I think it's due to this patch. But I'm going to keep my expectations as low as possible and say that the new killer is Syndrome.
1 -
I don't know if it's been brought up yet because holy hell 9 pages but some dude named Hakim on twitter brought up a fun little theory.
-The S from the first picture
-The Egg from the update tweet
-The AAAAAAA from the A tweet
Put it together and you get SEGAAAAAAA
Next killer Sonic confirmed? The yellow rings also go togther. ;)

Just because it fits in here and I posted in another thread:
The Teacher (original killer, early concept had files in the game for a long time) is now being teased by random letters because they teach reading and writing.
3 -
So if we wanna do a really hard tinfoil hat theory here, since I know it was brought up in the thread.
There's seven 'A's in the one post. There's also a total of six phantoms, and obviously Springtrap themselves as the only animatronic in FNAF3, with the others moreso just there to get in your way and make things a bit harder, but 7 overall.
Don't think it means anything, but I figured I'd point it out here. (I know you could technically count the characters in the sprite minigames, but I chose not to as those do not effect your nights like the seven do.)
