No DLC?

That's… new.

Well that certainly is strange. I wonder if this is a new precedent moving forward or just a one-off since it's just a new Survivor this time.

Perhaps they thought he wouldn't sell that well, so decided not to pay whatever the fee is for DLC add-ons and just keep him in the in-game store

Please feel free to share any feedback here so we can communicate it to the team!

To me it's mainly a question of why you chose to not release him on storefronts. At the very least, it breaks the convention.
So.. why not?

It's odd because I like to have purchases made in order to ensure ownership and prevent loss of progress/purchase. I hope the team reconsiders and adds the dlc on all platforms.
Additionally, some players have access to the character without having spent shards? Is the new character meant as a gift or is this a bug?

I'm happy because it means i can buy the character with shards instead of having to feel like i need the dlc so i dont miss out on the exclusive item. But i'd also be fine with dlcs if they didn't have exclusive items.

I hate this. I always buy the DLC from the store for the exclusive cosmetic, and then generally get DLC for a friend who I know can't afford it.
Just going to skip this until the DLC is properly in the Steam store.5 -
Well good thing I have shards saved up but would have bought it as a DLC too but hope this is not something that is going to be a norm as I still prefer buying new content in the DLC's through Steam.

this release was very strange, it felt underwhelming, the legendary skin got far more attention than the actual new content, which is the survivor, and even though he could be more interesting (his whole gig is dating the oposite s… 3… x… and being an ai bro), he should've gotten a proper release, mina also is just a skin, some of us thought she would release with a new legendary skin system, but no, she's just and expensive skin, with a mori that reuses her pallet break animation and looks at the camera, i thought there would be a community stream as well, and i didn't see anything, map is gorgeos

doubt it's just because it's only a new survivor. Since Steady Pulse was also just a survivor and has a proper DLC page

It's almost certainly because he is part of an already existing original chapter that's already bundled on store fronts so making another DLC for him alone is kinda redundant .

Who cares? It doesnt mean anything and it doesnt change anything.

Something about this seems fishy to me. BHVR's experiments with their DLC sale stuff has always been kind of sketchy imo.
Like forcefully bundling cosmetics in to jack up the prices (Nic cage + Alien chapter for example) in order to force people to buy auric cells for the cheaper price. Not having it on the store at all when literally every other chapter, even solo survivors with no maps are/were there.
Call it a hunch, but something tells me the underlying reason for this is going to be something to do with increasing the DLC prices on steam or something to do with pricing in general; they've already tweaked it as of Feb this year.
Maybe I'm just being pessimistic but when a change is not clearly communicated, there's usually a bad reason for it. If it were the case that because Trickster is in a bundle, they didn't want this chapter to be standalone (Despite it being treated as a standalone chapter) then why not just say that?

Does that mean the twitch exclusive shirt is actually his steam store purchase bonus lmao

I hate this change. It would mean a normal Chapter with a survivor and killer will be 10 € with cells instead of the normal 8 € that it is in the steam store etc where you also get a bonus outfit or charm. Please don't do this again with future chapters regardless of if they are original or not, just to earn yourself 2 €. Also many people would love to have proof of their purchase in case something happens to your account, you don't have to from buying with cells.

Yeah, it's a negative Steam review from me until the DLC is available there as it should be. There's a pricing change stink looming over this.

Yeah I don't like it either. Mikaela and Orela were/are available on stores as originals as Mid chapters. This shouldn't be chapter 39 but 38.5.

Please make dlc, will not buy without it. i would like the security of owning it

Not going to lie - this is a disappointing, non-sensical change. The fact that I didn’t read or spot this anywhere in the patch notes and that the 1st I’ve found out about this is through a random post is frustrating.
I’ve bought all my DLC for around the last 8 years exclusively through the PSN store. I like to buy things with actual money and it’s nice having the whole add-on history there in one place and makes it easier for re-downloading etc. Occasionally you’d get a bonus badge / banner / cosmetic for doing so too.I spent all last night refreshing the store and checking on the PSN app waiting for the update to drop instead of what I should’ve been doing - enjoying the new chapter.
I can only imagine that this change coincidentally has been implemented with the increase of the price of auric cells.
I know it’s petty, (I have around 700k shards just so you know, but I’d still always buy the chapter with money) I could literally buy every original chapter for free for the rest of the life of the game - but you can count me out of future DLC (original or licensed) if this isn’t reversed.
