Legendary Skin Revamp Concept

Figure They have their own concept already planned. But wanted to toss out my version:

Under each Role

  • Character select becomes Chapter Select
  • Chapter Portraits function as “Movie Posters” to familiarize the player with that IP’s tone/setting
  • Selection of a Chapter Portrait dives into the related Character Portraits
  • Licensed Skin Collabs (such as CryptTV) can also have their own Chapter portrait.

Chapters (General/Paragraph):

  • Contain all Characters for that given Chapter (Not necessarily License, such as in the case of Project W and Initial Resident Evil Chapter)
  • All Legendary Skins (that change the character, not cosplays) tied to a Chapter become their own Character with their own prestige under their respective Chapter select (and their own cosmetic store sections).
  • Contains a “Chapter Battlepass/Prestige” for a given role, that is unlocked with the purchase of any Character (and access to that chapters roles perks)

Characters (General/Paragraph)

  • Have their own Bloodweb/Prestige
  • Unlock bloody prestige outfits on their 1st-3rd prestige, individual and disconnected from the “Chapter Battle-pass”.
  • Perk charms and Perk Unlocks are moved to the “Chapter Battle-pass/Prestige”
  • Hopefully all survivors will inevitably share Bloodweb items at some point. (Killers too).
  • Possibly: Purchase of a Licensed Character Skin for an Original Killer released under a Licensed Chapter unlocks that chapters Perks, and the Killer Power, but not the OG Killers Perks.

Chapter Battlepass/Prestige

  • Each role has their own for a given Chapter Select
  • Levels are unlocked via total prestige level of all characters under the Chapter Portrait
  • Initial unlock grants the level 1 Perk to all Characters (or constrained to the Chapter Selects characters).
  • Later levels unlock higher Perk Tiers for all Characters of that role.
  • Later levels unlock Perk charms
  • Later levels may unlock banners/charms/icons

Skin Collabs (No new Perks/Powers, but change the character of an OG Killer to that of a Licensed one):

  • Have their own Chapter Select
  • All Characters from the License are grouped together (Eg: CryptTV/Iron Maiden)
  • Possibly: Purchase of a Licensed Skin on an Original Killer will not unlock the OG Killers Perks.
  • Perk Charms/Perks are not part of these Chapter Portraits.
  • May contain a Battlepass focused on Banners/Icons/Charms

Skin Collabs (Cosplays):

  • Part of the Characters cosmetic selections
