It's Hellraiser (CONFIRMED)
Comments

I just brought those up bc they're popular points of argument- I'm with you on not caring :p
I'll admit I was also confused as to why Springtrap and not the original animatronics, but the reason is simple. The animatronics are possessed by the souls of dead children, except Springtrap is actually William Afton, AKA the man who made the animatronics and killed said children. As the mastermind behind the evil, its natural that he's who the Entity will pick.
Yeah sorry lol. Nothing personal, I just never watched or found Hellraiser interesting. I'll watch it now that it's a popular theory though :)

Look in the end any licence should/will help the cause. I know it has a lot of fans (adults an children) but that is what worries me about it. We got too many children in this game now....You killed me REPORTED, tunnel...Report etc. To be clear by children it's actual children and the adult children which is staggering in this game. Which is why I just wanted it to come later after the icons gives some time for the children to mature (hopefully). I am wrong sometimes though maybe it would all be fine and I am just trippy. Time will tell I guess.

He has a puzzle box that attacks the ######### out of people and rips them open or lasers etc....and his chain hooks. Basically full paranormal threat.

OK, it's probably Pinhead at this point.
There's not a new leak or evidence that points to this, the devs just reenabled SBMM so it's clear they want us to suffer in agonizing pain.

suffer in agonizing pain

It's Pinhead.
The letters are spelling out Hellraiser.
They added a screw/pin to the target wheel when it's not there in-game.
All the teaser images take place on the Chapel map and Pinhead's official name is Hell Priest.
Ace in the cage is meant to represent Frank Cotton being trapped in hell. Frank like Ace is a gambler, ladies man, and all around scumbag.
The top image is how it looks in-game. The bottom is how it looked in the letter E tease:

It doesn't mean they're not hinting at it. They've been posting other letters the past few days, why all of sudden is this one irrelevant now? Even if it's just about the dead dawg saloon being disabled, they could've took a another screenshot of the map without the H, but they didn't.

There's a pin in the wheel also. Kinda seems nailed on pardon the pun

I don't know much about Hellraiser (never saw the movies), Candyman (never saw the movies only recap video) and watch gameplays of the two first FNAF.
Honestly i don't really care who it is, i just freaking enjoy that time when Devs teases us and everyone is in euphoria and theorise. It's honestly my happiest moment as being part of the community, seeing how everyone is giving their opinion and theories about the teases ect
Much love ! <3 And don't be to sad if it's not the killer you want to see it will come into the game eventually !

I think you're right on point.

Here, hope this helps

It doesn't, that's just a smudge.
1 -
I see it, it looks pretty clearly an H.
There's Bhvr's
Here's mine from Yesterday. Unless they're scratches in a form of an H, it seems like it's there

That's a smudge.
I'm going to update the OP with something else I realized.

"EDIT: Seven "A" letters were posted when we got that letter. I thought this was just a random curiosity, since, on the Japanese Twitter, they only used 5 characters. However, according to Google Translate, the Japanese transliteration of "Pinhead" (which, you'll note, has seven letters) uses five characters."
Huh. Mind if I drop this in the big thread? (with credits, of course)
1 -
okay. I attached a discussion. This post is as clear as I can make it. I'm not pulling your leg. It's right there.
Exactly where I high lighted it.
0 -
I can see the H on the before screenshots.
The H wasn't as clear as the other letters, I'm not convinced it's a hint.
0 -
Sure.
1 -
Well colour me disappointed. As uninterested in Pinhead as I was the Twins.
2 -
Same. I never watched the movies. Nor Candyman. And I never played FNaF.
I was happy to go into theories, but my hype is quite lower now. I'm more excited to learn more about the Survivor by now.

Personally, I don't care who the new killer is (although I hope it isn't Springtrap; we do not need that community meshing with this one is all I'm saying) but we can't count Springtrap out just yet. There was a letter E and people said the letter H is in the photo of Dead Dawg Saloon. No, these letters don't spell Springtrap but it can be the start of Springtrap's reveal phrase or what he's known for. The phrases, "I'm still here" or "My name is Springtrap" and his reveal was very similar to how dbd is doing their reveal when Scott made the Springtrap drop. Ace being trapped in a carnival is very a Springtrap aesthetic as he's just a murderous man trapped in an animatronic suit + Fnaf is supposed to be an attraction to children. So Springtrap isn't down for the count yet.
Then there is the obvious Hellraiser. I don't see many other clues pointing to him other than a nail and these letters. Doesn't mean it's not him, just little evidence. However, the Japan count of letters (English is 7 letters, Japan is 5) makes it a good contender.
I've also heard of the patch notes mentioning an an S then an egg emoji then A. Sega which has a hand in Alien Isolation. So... Alien maybe a possibility? I'd also like to mention the egg emoji and the letters. If it IS Fnaf, the egg emoji could be a reference to Chica. Chica is one of the animatronics which is a chicken, her name is also spelled with 5 letters. Now the letters I do not know but I can at least connect the egg emoji to two franchises. Maybe spelling out Five Nights At Freddy's. As far as I know, Hellraiser doesn't have two S's if the letters from the patch notes are connected to these letters we're getting daily.
Also, why would BHVR just give away the full name of a killer before the ptb? I don't think they would. I think these letters might be spelling out a phrase or the franchise name (if it isn't short that is) similar to how they thought they were being clever adding the sandwich reference in the photo of Auto Haven when Chapter 20 was being speculated. The sandwich thing just confirmed to anyone involved with RE that it was in fact RE and Jill was most likely gonna be the new survivor (including me but I also knew Leon 100% was gonna be a survivor. He's Capcom's golden boy so of course they would) which is why I think, to my dismay, it is Springtrap.

I would be cool with Hellraiser, but I think the funniest reveal would be if it's an original character nobody has heard of.
6 -
That'd be the funniest thing ngl. Everyone rn is basically like:
And then boom. Original chapter having nothing to do with their theories, 0 to do with franchise...
5 -
I don't know if you saw it in the other post but here's a better picture showing the "H" was always there.
2 -
I'm really hoping it's Pinhead
2 -
I still have hope that it is Springtrap. I would love to play as a Cenobite, but I think the phrase being spelt out might be 'I am still here'. Which was Stringtrap's catchphrase.
0 -
Thank you.
1 -
Never watched Hellraiser so can someone tell me what Pinhead does? Or what his powers are?
I'm open for any killer at this point, but Pinhead does look pretty cool.
0 -
Nothing is being spelled out, the letters are jumbled. This isn't Tom Marvolo Riddle.
4 -
Hellraiser is the original "Pain is pleasure" franchise. The Cennobites inflict pain on themselves and each other and get pleasure from it. They almost seem to worship pain. Pinhead is one of them.
3 -
Thank you! That sounds interesting and creepy. Wonder how it would translate into DbD.
0 -
It's spelling Raise
Interesting

He's probably the most recognisable horror character, but he's not exactly in with the times. I literally haven't seen/heard anything about him for over 20 years (funfair ride) He is recognisable though so fits the game, just an uncool character I think.
1 -
I called it. Where's my cookie?!
5 -
Hell yeah, Pinhead is confirmed. I'm excited for him.
1 -
Not over until reveal, still have hope.
1 -
Now he asks him, what will his power be? I am excited, in history it is an entity superior to Freddy Kruger and Candyman and hopefully it is Tier S.
1 -
Kinda disappointed but i'm glad for those who wanted him :)
1 -
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
4 -
Sorry, just had to release this feeling of insane catharsis I am having.
I'm so so happy it's Hellraiser.
So.. SO happy. You seriously cannot believe how much of a GRIN I have on my face right now.
8 -
I thought you were mocking me for a second there. Glad to hear you're just happy. :)
2 -
Maybe I’m confused, but nothing is actually confirmed right?
It may be highly likely, but nothing has been revealed, so the title is a bit misleading, no?
2 -
Here you go! I’m so happy for the good news, especially knowing that it’s not FNAF.
4 -
Took me a second to realize that's a cat paw not racoon 😂
1 -
Yessss
0 -
Still not technically confirmed. The title's just straight up a bait. "99.999999999999999999% POSSIBLE" fits better.
1 -
In particle physics, you need to be about 99.9999% certain of something for it to qualify as a new discovery. It's not bait, it's just denial at this point to say it's not Hellraiser.
4 -
Do we know what Pinhead's power will be?
0 -
I'm hype for Hellraiser or Springtrap. I really don't care at this rate I'm just hype for new killers and survivors!
Hope we eventually get Chucky, Pennywise and Jason as well 😀
0 -
Can't say I'm too excited for this one. I have zero connection with it and know nothing about the Hellraiser franchise.
Whatever. I just hope Pinhead has a cool power.
