New Chapter on console

So, tomorrow is the day for PTB to go live. Being a console player, I will only be able to watch others play it, gathering as many info as I can that way only, which is pretty sad. But my question is, will there be a delay between PC and console release of the DLC? If so, which I hope not (but I can bet the answer will be yes), how long does it generally take?

    Well, I sure hope so. I am saving my BPs for Kuchisake-Onna, because I think I might like her... But the (videos from the people playing) PTB will hold all of the answers I need about that.

    I said to myself, that if the killer would look cool enough (by my own expectations), I would main him/her.
    And I hope there won't be any delay for Xbox.

    What console are you on? And if it is Kuchisake-Onna or inspired by her it would be scary if she have long black hair in front of her face. That would freak me out. It is already bad enough that I jump when a teammate flash the flashlight at me out of no where.

    As the past is the only way to predict the future... We can assume it is going to be a HUGE problem and console will get it 3-4 weeks later.

    I’m not expecting the new killer on console to release at the same time as PC. I’m expecting a Halloween release date for console (just so I don’t get super excited). Always gotta expect the worst so then you can’t be disappointed especially with BHVR!

    October probably.

    We'll most likely get it 2 weeks from tomorrow.

    The PTB is usually 1 week long, then they'll release it on PC officially. So 2 weeks from tomorrow we should have it.

    I'll be buying the killer more than likely with shards this time... unless the exclusive cosmetic is great.

    It looks like their schedule is:

    Chapter Release
    6 weeks later mid Chapter balance
    7 weeks later new Chapter

    So September 11 for PC.

    LOL. I am on PS4, anyway. If it truly turns out to be Kuchisake, I doubt she'll have hair covering her face, it would be too similar to Samara Morgan from The Ring, possibly even denying her as an eventual new killer.

    Don't be silly. Console will get it right on time, right along with PC. Of course, there will probably be game-breaking bugs, connection issues, or PSN will probably go out like always, but you'll still get it on time. :):):)

    No, they hand out the DLC at the same time, but if sony/microsoft take longer for verification, then it might end up like last one that consoles get the patch later

    you must be new?
    Gameplay-wise, yes. But yours isn't a useful answer at all.

    Well the curtain call dlc took 2 weeks after pc full release so 4 weeks in all including ptb but that was because it had to get certification done and took longer because of the big update including the store so my guess would be up to a week after pc gets it idk about ps4 because it took them like 4 weeks or 5 to get there but it might be different this time like how the pig came out on Xbox before it came out on pc

    Both consoles have “same day patch certification” options. Hopefully this patch can utilize that option. I know we couldn’t have it that way last time because of the addition of the new in-game store, which console likes to thoroughly vet before patching through.
