PENNYWISE IS COMING...
C'mon Bhvr, we all know you're sitting over your desks right now frantically building a mothaflippin It DLC that I know I'm gonna blow all of my money on. Pennywise is one of the most iconic monsters of all time and right now he's especially in the limelight. Even if it takes a while I'm still gonna be excited for it.
If Pennywise does make his long awaited debut on our screens what do you think his power/perks will be??
Who will be the new survivor?

I will leave this game if Pennywise enters this game

I would be happy if he comes. I like his films. But I'm not going to guarantee that I will buy him. It all depends on his power and perks.
2 -
That would be pretty extreme reaction. A lot of people have been begging for him and the devs/bhvr follow Stephen King so its not impossible.
Why would it be so bad to you?
11 -
Pennywise isn't scary, he is countered literally by standing up to him
The only power he would be good with that is lore based is countered by SWF

I as many others would be annoyed about getting 3 liscensed characters in a row..
I want an original character to come out after a liscensed then another liscensed can arrive but -shrugs-

The forums are brutal :/

Only if its Mini Series Pennywise.

I would actually laugh if someone did that.
They won't. They'll go for the more current, popular, and superior one from the recent movies.

Okay, I'll pretend he's coming to DbD.
What I would like is for him to be another Madness user.
Lorewise, Entity can do anything to its Killers.
And we've heard stories of Entity either giving Powers or pulling in Killers who already have one.
How about a story in which a Killer is so powerful (IT) that Entity needs to downgrade the Power?
That would make it so IT was very powerful, but nothing beats Entity once you're in its realm.
Anyway, I just really like the idea of Madness, and I think we can do more than what Doctor shows.
Deadlights would inflict Madness btw.

I wouldnt care for yet another licensed killer. While "Oh cool, another killer ive seen before now in game"
Also "Yawn, can we got something original and 'brand new' to truly spice things up"
Pennywise as popular demand as he is among some of the community, would just feel kinda blah after back to back licensed killers.

I agree with this. As much as I enjoy the licensed killers, this game's original killers are pretty cool too.
Though, on a personal note, I've never found Pennywise a compelling villain and I think It is one of Stephen King's most overrated stories. It's more weird than scary, most of the actual horror comes from how crappy the people in that little town are.
When it comes to the game... I just don't see how Pennywise would fit. He's not a pursuit predator, he lures gullible victims to their demise. I don't know how that could be made into a playstyle that works with this game.
Killers like Myers and Bubba are iconic slashers, this game is heavily influenced by their cinematic escapades and they fit right in with minimal alteration. Even Freddy was molded into a serviceable form which captures the essence of his character, teleporting around and messing with people's heads.
What would Pennywise even do in a match? What would his power be?

Sounds like such a boring killer to have in this game
0 -
I would MUCH rather see The Shining, Misery, and Gerald’s Game than It tbh. Also how cool would it be to have a wheelchair user as a survivor!!
2 -
You're telling me Legion and Clown's upcoming elephant skin is scarier. Phhhhffff.... I want Pennywise.
2 -
I'd prefer to see more unique powers than Ghostface style rehashes of other killers' powers.
0 -
Pennywise would be four licensed characters in a row. We just had Ash, Ghostface, and Stranger Things one after another.

But you have a license killer for your Avatar I just don't get it

You just broke my heart.

Actually, that is pretty terrifying

True...

Pretty sure we're not getting Pennywise.
Next chapter won't have a map and if we get Pennywise and no Sewer map then #########? That's a huge missed opportunity to having the grossest and most aesthetic map ever.
A Salems' Lot movie is being made and we have Doctor Sleep coming around the same time the next chapter is being released so maybe it's one of those?
I really hope the next Chapter isn't anything from Stephen because that means no map and if we get something from Doctor Sleep then that means no Overlook Hotel and if we get Salems' Lot that means no haunted house.
Either way whatever Killer we get next chapter we won't be getting a map and that is a huge no no when it comes to something as beautiful from the mind of Stephen King.
I mean who wouldn't want to run in the frozen maze of the Overlook hotel or run from Pennywise in his sewer?

That's not true, the losers club could do that because their PERSONAL circle created a white magic strong enough to hurt It.
This only happened though because they were agents of the strongest God in their universe, the Other probably Gan.

Please no. At least not soon.
Give me please some original chapter rather than keep adding allready existing things. It's no more special thing. Back in old days it was interesting, now it's just overhelming. But that's just my opinion.

If it's the new Pennywise, it's going to be laughable, he isn't scary at all, it's quite hilarious. I would love to see for now, not a licensed chapter, lets see what the devs can come up with.

I want pyramid head so bad, even though I have no idea how he would work.
1 -
ooooh yes!
0 -
Sadly I just don't think he would. Part of Pyramid Heads charm was the slow inevitability of his approach. The few times you had to fight him were in relatively enclosed spaces. He just wouldn't be the same if he moved as fast as even the slowest of our current killer roster. Like you I'd love to see him, but in my heart of hearts i know he'd just be a watered down version of the real thing and the appeal would very quickly wear off.
Unfortunately I have come to think the same of Pennywise. I'll admit, I've loved the book since i was a kid and so I know half of my issues with him being in DBD would be from fan girl overthinking. However I just don't see him being in the game without it being a severely diluted version which would just turn him into a Novelty killer.

i think an Alien or Predator chapter could happen
1 -
This would be so very dangerous to me. I grew up with those movies and would end up fan girling in one spot right up to the moment I got my face chewed off!

lol!

Last year they were 3 in a row: leatherface, freddy and pigg. This year: GF with ASH ?, ST and ... Penny?
0 -
I honestly hope they don't add Pennywise to the roster
I like the movies but still...pls don't
1 -
As long as Pinhead, Alien and (eventually) Jason get in, I don't need anymore licensed killers. I would be happy with what we've got.

Before we insert personal bias into this whole argument, think about how huge this could be for BHVR. Like it or not, diehard 80s horror fans, Stranger Things and IT are the two biggest names in horror currently. Stranger Things is the biggest chapter release to date and it shows with every single aspect that went into it. Mathieu stated very clearly, after ST, nothing is too big for them. They've earned the respect needed and proved themselves to competent game devs (sorry, Illfonic, you messed up) to handle hefty licenses. It, currently, is the biggest horror movie of the year. BHVR having the opportunity to take such a weighty license and, in turn, weighty paycheck and deciding not to go through is just a stupid marketing decision.
Personally, It is not my top license for this game. Hell, I don't even know what Pennywise would do as a killer since the whole gimmick of the book/movies is fear and inner strength. The point is, be excited that the Devs have the ability to pursue IT and Stranger Things, I know for a fact that when this game released I had no inklings that we'd be getting all the awesome content that we got.

DUDE. The Shining would be legendary. "Heeere's Johnny!"
0 -
I absolutely love licensed stuff so the more the merrier. Judging by the fact that the next chapter doesn't have a map and there have been 3 licensed releases without maps thus far, it's likely we will receive another licensed chapter soon. But I love original content too! 😁
0 -
I would prefer more original killers. It would suck to get 3 liscensed killers in a row.
0 -
He's not very iconic honestly. There's much better material for orginal and licensed killers before IT and Pennywise.

INB4 this gets deleted because someone mentions Jack Torrance and the leaked "crazy" status.
Whoops.
