I Personally have 4 War,Law,History & Love


War:The Killer is War Veteran that became a Killer after his Sanity dropped after the War was over.


Law:The Killer was Innocent Man that was screwed over by the Law,& the Survivor is one of those Lawyers that can get a Killer out of Trouble.


Love:The Killer & Survivors were Lovers


Edit:History:The Killer would be one of the "Witches" during the Trials & the Survivor would be Reverend

    Vampires. Vampire and hunter would be obvious, but I’d actually like a bite victim getting the chance to face them.

    I'd love to see an elegant killer. Basically like Trickster with less blood and visible insanity. Something like a killer queen would be awesome.

    Ice themed killer power. Probably with another Ormond map.

    I want a classical Halloween theme. I want both the killers and survivors to get actually Halloween costume cosmetics that look like they tried to make them themselves or purchased them at Walmart and I want the killer to be a witch with a big crooked nose that has a wart and green or bright yellow skin, pointy hat and has a running animation that is actually her flying on her broom.

    Old monster horror like Vampires and Werewolves

    Pirate

    Evil step-parent and the kid - some of the best villains have been step parents 😂

    Sibling rivalry - in Boston place called "Spite house" because one brother was mad at the other decided to build skinny house up against the other brothers house to block out sunlight. Made me think DBD could put a spin on that for killer/survivor.

    A completely non-humanoid killer... just give me the damn 1958 blob at this point!

    Beach party massacre

    I want more monster like-killers. Currently the only one we have is Demo, (and I guess somewhat Blight)

    Ice theme killer with a killer like

    Mr Freeze or captain cold

    I really love the love theme you mentioned ;3; heartbreaking!

    I guess I want to see more Monster themes, like creatures. We have so many humanoids I want to see something more creepy and feral.

    Probably why Alien and Supernatural are dream chapters of mine. I would love to play as a Xenomorph or a werewolf.

    a spooky Scarecrow type killer or anything that will add carnival/amusement park type maps

    Plant Killer

    Another Red forest map.

  • Heartbound
    Heartbound Member Posts: 3,255

    Entity theme (Pustula, claws, etc) or Happy fantasy (I made a poll for Murder Meadows a while ago).

    Taking something extremely uplifting is something Dead by Daylight hasn't done yet, so it would only show up every once in a while but the sheer difference from the usual would be jarring enough to spook people I think.

    hello neighbor themed.

    could do a few things with that concept that would be S tier

    An Aztec Killer would almost indefinitely be a cannibal and have their name as something like 'Quetzelahcoatl' (definitely not Quetzelcoatl 👀) or 'Xloloc'... Map could also easily be a lush forest-scape with a decorated pyramid towering above much of it, spruced with ritual grounds and remnants of old buildings.


    And as for Egypt, I could undoubtedly see a nice Kemetic temple adorned with glistening waters, green plants and sand with Giza-esque pyramids or something like a portion of ancient Memphis as a map, with the Killer being a heretic seer or Set or Anat cult lunatic (or even Akhenaten himself, lol).


    That'd be great.

    Native American Survivor & Skinwalker Killer.

    A pyromaniac would be lovely

    A bughybrid would be very cool too

    I also really want a bad survivor. Most if not all survivors are goody two shoes. I want a survivor that actually deserves the entity's torment

    I kinda want to have a classical graveyard map and a good theme around it.

    Something about the fear of deep water or space.

    Ad also maybe something going into strangeness/surrealism. Hard to point out. But really a chapter where things just don't seem catchable in the way they are.

    A fire themed killer.

    Id like them to go back and spruce up a few older killers instead of introducing more. For example,

    * Babylonian jungle map for Plague

    * Ghostface map, perhaps the supermarket or have Sidney plus her house for a map

    * Korean neon lit street map for Trickster

    I don't know if they'll do more monster killers but a straight up werewolf killer with the survivor being like a werewolf hunter

    I think a Native American themed chapter would be so amazing. A killer that is either a skinwalker or a wendigo would be my dream addition, same with the survivor. A native rep would be my instant main

    A semi military-themed chapter with a supernatural twist and story that spans a few decades.

    A killer(s) which is actually a small platoon who were killed in a battle during World War 1. However, there was a cover-up that this platoon was killed after discovering enemy plans and contacts after discovering a spy in their ranks, but the spy was high-ranking who turned the tide and got them shot.

    The survivor at first seems unrelated: a ghost hunter on YouTube, trying to make it big. They do a filming on the site of the shooting to see what lost souls from the battlefield he can "fake", but comes across some diary written by one of the platoon, detailing what happened with the fix. He thinks he's got a big break, but then a fog circulates.

    The map could be No Man's Land with trenches. And the killer could have a unique terror radius: the sound of a sole bagpipe - an instrument synonimous with war.

    -Extraterrestrial killer

    -human abductee survivor

    -killer's spaceship is the map

    Killer would be a combination of the Borg from Star Trek and the Necromongers from Chronicles of Riddick.

    I would like a chapter themed on 80s slashers (especially a summer camp). in dbd we are missing a chapter set in that time period and have others set in popular slasher time periods (Halloween: 70s, Legion and Resident Evil: 90s, Silent Hill: early 2000s) the only one that is in the 80s is stranger things but they are leaving.

    I'm a fan of aquatic horror. Might be hard to implement - the aquatic aspect but I really would love an aquatic themed monster, I'll even settle for a ghost pirate or something with a map of maybe a shipwrecked beach with water of an ocean non interactive.

    Second strong desire in this game is a Mexican themed chapter with maybe a La Llorona as a killer. For those that don't know what La Llorona is, it's Spanish for The Weeping Woman. I wouldn't want it from the recent film but dug deep from Mexican culture. We haven't had a Mexican survivor yet and I just think it'd be neat.

    Those are my top 2 wants for original chapters. :)

    09/05 EDIT: Or a cool idea going off the ghost pirate, for a map could be a ghost ship either ship wrecked or out to sea obviously the sea the ship is on non interactable. Think Resident Evil Revelations ghost ship. That'd be poggers ngl.

    I know we have Clown and Father Campbell's Chapel with the deteriorated, broken down circus area BUT I'd really like to see a haunted fairgrounds take up an entire map, preferably at night and maybe accompanied by some kind of original killer associated with a fair maybe like a magician gone mad who kills people with his magic tricks.

    Additionally I would LOVE a vampire chapter. Vampire killer + a Gothic castle or mansion indoor map would be a dream come true for me.
