in Lore

Id love to see Legion get a retcon. Joey, Julie and Susie are just figments of the diseased mind of Frank, and he sometimes dresses up as one or the other to ease his psychosis.

How does the Entity keep Michael Myers and Freddy Krueger in check? Krueger in the Dream World, could debatably be more powerful than the Entity itself, and I doubt any amount of torture could keep Michael Myers from killing whomever he wants to.

Id also like to see a killer that represents what happens to survivors who lose hope. Its mentioned in the lore, but never used. A killer that represents the inevitability of what the survivors are going up against. And perhaps, with cosmetics referencing the Alchemist, the black woman from the trailer, and the cast of survivors

    i could see that being a thing and it would be cool to have the first survivors for the days of old and playable people

    We all get it, everybody had this theory before the Legion came out and yes everyone agrees, it is a far more compelling idea for a character to suffer from split personality disorder. Chalk it up to a missed opportunity, however, the current fantasy surrounding the Legion and them being 4 different killers who all share the same style isn't bad imo, people just love hating on the legion and legion has always gotten such an extremely bad rap for just being an overall mediocre killer. The amount of flak Legion gets for no good reason is just absurd

    It's mentioned in the lore that "His powers were tempered in some ways and focused in others." when he was taken to the realm of the entity. Freddy lost his power to warp reality completely and utterly as he saw fit in the dream world, but he retained certain other capabilities... such as that to be invisible, teleport, create illusions of things that don't exist, and somewhat uniquely: create pools of blood that contain souls of the damned (perhaps his previous victims?) which claw and grasp at whatever passes by.

    We got some new bits of lore in the form of animatics when mobile released in regards to the killer perspective: "They know something's wrong, something's not like it used to be, and yet, they don't care. They don't care because it's better. Much better than it used to be. Better because they are free... free to make merry hell so long as they serve... the Entity" this isn't exactly new information since much of it has been implied before or if you paid attention to the dev streams they probably mentioned this somewhere down the line after launch. However, this is probably the first time it has been so blatantly stated in an official animatic or piece of lore.

    Certain killers might fight back against being put into the servitude of the entity and being made pawns in its grand scheme, these the entity tortures cruelly, forcing them to bend and submit to its will. The evidence of this exists on their bodies, scars and injuries sustained proof of that on characters like Trapper, the Doctor, etc. and the Entity is patient, time is not something that exists in such a place so there can be no end to a killers suffering unless they choose to serve. However, other killers only need slight persuasion, a nudge in the right direction to do what the entity wants, these killers hardly change. Freddy, Michael, Ghostface all look about the same as they normally do meaning they weren't tortured, they chose this willingly.

    The last thing you mentioned is a nice idea, we'll just have to wait and see on that one.
