Licensed Killer Cosmetics Added to Game

With the 03' remake cosmetic, they could try to give Bubba his chase music from the same movie. And ngl it's pretty epic and fits him well.

I'm ngl, I've always wanted to see the alternate clawed gloves Freddy has made in game. I can't remember which movie, but in one of the movies it shows off his lair and in his lair he has multiple different prototypes of clawed gloves hanging from the walls and stuff like that. The one that stood out to me the most were actually spikes attached to the knuckles and fingers rather than the classic knives, I can't remember which movie this scene was from though.

We've seen other incarnations of Freddy's iconic weapon throughout other films though not just that one scene.

In Wes Craven's New Nightmare the claws aren't on a glove but actually embedded into the fingers of Freddys hand.

There's also that time that Freddy turns his claws into syringes filled with some drugs in liquid form inside, since the devs are really into making more flexible and movable cosmetic pieces (IE The Pigs Corkscrew weapon which actually spins and makes noise) I would love to see this liquid slosh around inside the syringe fingers, and maybe even squirt out a little bit after Freddy hits someone.

...As great as these ideas are I feel like they might be the least likely to come about, I think the Nightmare on Elm Street license might be the most strict out of any license DBD has obtained. I might be wrong considering the Nightmare On Elm Street license was recently reacquired by the Wes Craven estate, so perhaps they might be more open and willing for renegotiation to allow new cosmetics like the ones I suggested.

Probably. Sadly

But I wouldn't forget how successful and popular Dead By Daylight has become since 2017 (when Freddy was first introduced). BHVR has secured so many popular characters from popular licenses: Halloween, Saw, Leatherface, Stranger Things was a massive license to land considering how popular the show is and getting the legendary Bruce Campbell himself to voice his iconic character Ash Williams and use his likeness for the character model as well is pretty big news considering how well respected he is as an actor.

The more people that work with Dead By Daylight to get their characters in, and create new additions to those characters in terms of cosmetics, the more other people will be willing to work with BHVR because it's a pretty safe bet that whatever it is as long as it's popular it'll be successful in terms of sales. And that works both ways if it's not as popular in the moment by including whatever it is in Dead By Daylight might cause a resurgence in popularity for that license, so it's a two way street.

(And to apply that logic to present day, I hear talks of a potential continuation or remake of a new Nightmare on Elm Street movie [and a new F13 movie] which would culminate in a brand new Freddy Vs. Jason movie. This could possibly be see Robert Englund reprising his role as Freddy Krueger. So to promote this new movie, make the character more popular, and generate hype, we could see new cosmetics for Freddy sooner than we think)

This extends to license holders who have already worked with BHVR in the past, seeing how successful they game has become might make those who were a bit strict in the past to become more amicable towards the titles newfound success. We've seen the devs revisit the Halloween license to create new cosmetics for Michael and Laurie (which were the first licensed characters introduced, so this is the oldest license in game).

TL;DR Never say never.

I did some digging and I found the video of the scene I was describing and took a few screenshots of the different (prototype?) gloves he's used, a few even have a bit of blood on them implying they've been used before.

Here is the glove I was talking about with the Spikes attached to his knuckles and fingers

This one has curved, almost animal like claws rather than knives

This is a rack of all the different designs Freddy has been tinkering with:

And the final shot actually features all four different designs prominently hanging off the wall, alongside one that has razorblades attached to the fingertips instead of knives, spikes, or claws. In the middle we can see a slightly different design on the iconic glove where the knives are attached at the base of the knuckles instead of the fingertips, almost like rings actually

Here is a link to the original video if you want to see for yourself (The girl walks into the workshop at 1:17):

Of course I'd be remiss if I didn't add images of the other iconic alternatives, here is new nightmare Freddy where the knives are actually a part of his hand and we can actually see prominently features a fifth claw on the thumb:

(I would not mind seeing that trench coat for a cosmetic piece for Freddy either)

The syringe claws which I would personally want to see the most, I know they're filled to the brim in this image but I would like to see them maybe half or 3/4 filled so the fluid inside could slosh around as Freddy moves and maybe even squirt a bit of the blue liquid out after hitting a survivor:

Basically there's a lot to work with here. And over the span of 8 films there truly is a lot to work with here in terms of cosmetics. If the dev team does ever renegotiate the license perhaps they can figure out a way to get these different glove designs in to start since they actually do appear in the movies.

It would be cool!

I would love some Freddy cosmetics, since he literally has none. While leatherface doesn't technically have cosmetics, at least he has the survivor face unlockables. I would love more licensed cosmetics, and Freddy and Leatherface need some love. I know it can be hard to get cosmetics for licensed characters.

We NEED Pretty Lady Leatherface.
