    I honestly.. don't care. Want to see BHVR do something about the horrendous matchmaking they got going on.

    Although my heart says Candyman, my head says something original.

    Yeah, apparently this and next chapter should be licensed.

    This is very unlikely, but I personally think a “The Shining” Chapter would work! Jack is the perfect killer for this game, and honestly, who would not want someone like Wendy Torrance as a survivor!

    mattiew 1 said that he really wants pennywise to be in game so i got hope on that.

    I want it to be the crimson king from the dark tower or even Dandelo or pennywise. PLEASE DEVS, ADD THE DARK TOWER!

    I think it'll be a Stephen King property that is not IT or The Shining. He has a titanic bibliography, so who knows what it could be. Given that we've got another licence coming up after this, it could be that one instead. I don't have any other clue.

    My biggest reason for suspecting a Stephen King property is the Deathslinger. Iirc, he was going to be called the Gunslinger originally, but they changed his name later in development. Gunslinger also happens to be the name of one of the books in King's Dark Tower series, so it seems plausible that the devs changed his name to something as goofy as Deathslinger for the specific purpose of not pissing off Stephen King. Seems logical that they would only bend over backwards like that if they did or hoped to have something in the works.

    Candyman

    Like I said before, I don't particularly WANT Candyman(TT is awesome though) but I've just got a huge feeling it's gonna be him. The number of cosmetics for both characters is really throwing me off though. So either they got a VERY lenient license to work with OR it's been a original chapter all along and they just haven't put in the shard amount yet.

    Not going to lie, I have hope that the next chapter is the dark tower, just because of the person above me. I bet you this will be a teaser image for it,

    This is the crimson king's sigul, so maybe this eye would be the teaser.

    This is the crimson king himself

    The survivor would be Roland Deschain, the gunslinger.

    Candyman

    I already made a poll of this myself, it seems like most people agree that if the next chapter is licensed (which is kinda 50/50 right now with two leaks clashing against each other) it would be candyman. I'd like to give my reasons for why the others are unlikely.

    F13: this is an extremely iconic killer, if he was added it would have absolutely been during the anniversary, not the three months after. the lawsuit against F13 also just recently ended, I doubt BHVR was working on that chapter before the lawsuit even ended.

    IT: Stephen King is notorious for not giving out licenses, and all the games that WERE about his books had terrible reviews. BHVR has also stated that they've already asked for the license, but didn't get it.

    The Thing: though the movie is incredibly well-known, there's not really one iconic killer, and it's arguably not even a slasher film. the power also seems difficult to make.

    Pumpkin Head: honestly never heard of this movie before, so idk how possible this license would be

    FNAF: technically possible, but I feel like it's unlikely that BHVR would have started working on it at a time where the idea was looked down on way more, it was only fairly recently that people started opening up to it. the license would also probably be reserved for when the film comes out, as so far all killers have had at least one movie and it'd probably generate a lot more hype.

    Hellraiser: never watched it, but it definitely seems possible as BHVR has hinted at it a lot, even if just to throw us off. probably my second pick for the most possible next chapter.

    Outlast: doesn't really have one iconic killer and all of the enemies are just humans with basic weapons, so they don't have special abilities that could be used as a power.

    Resident Evil: with project resistance coming out, the chances of this happening are very small. that game's already a 4v1 asymmetrical multiplayer horror game, working with dbd would seriously hurt their sales tremendously.

    Stephen King is absurdly hard to get a license from, BHVR already tried and failed, so I doubt that if they did get the rights to one of his works they'd go for the Dark Tower instead of the much more iconic Pennywise or Jack Torrance.

    Would love to see a Shining chapter. Jack is one of my most wanted killers and an Overlook Hotel map would be great.

    I'll go with Alien, but in all honesty I may as well print out posters of every horror-related bit of media, become blind-folded, spin around several times, wander around a bit and pick up a poster. That'll probably give me just as much a chance.

    The dark tower is iconic though, and they can make much more cosmetics.

    They need to spend a chapter to fix the game as a whole before introducing new content.

    FNAF

    After seeing how much the community was hyped about Springtrap, I wouldn't doubt that the devs would make this come true. Also, FNAF doesn't seem like an expensive ip such as Saw or Nightmare on Elm Street, so I think it would make sense to just drop Springtrap in the game like they did with Leatherface and Ghostface.


    In the beggining, I was againt putting a FNAF character in the game. However, after considering it, I think it would be a nice addition.

    I wish it was FNAF but it will probably be Candyman.

    Candyman

    Candyman would make the most sense since it's coming out in September and so is the new candyman movie.

    Also I doubt we'd ever get a FNAF chapter just because the only good candidate for the survivor would be Michael Afton, and we don't really know anything about his appearance other than he's a white guy with brown hair.

    I always envisioned a FNAF chapter coming with a killer and map. Kinda like how Ghost Face and Ash are considered chapters. I do agree that its probably Candy Man, hes got so much going for him.

    I'm not sure where but I know they said they don't want to do paragraphs or partial chapters like AVED or Ghostface anymore, only full chapters.

    I keep hearing that as well, I'm not not sure about it though. Even without that FNAF is still unlikely. With it only being popular recently and the amount of dislike for it.
