https://twitter.com/DeadByBHVR/status/1294363266706268161
Theories So Far
Werewolf
"The Alchemist" - This has weight to it, I'm told the sound in the beggining is from the pestula event we had that had a lot of lore around "The Alchemist" in it.

Its gotta be a warewolf pay attention to the head at this time stamp it resembles a dog like face and you can kinda see dog like ears i could be stretching but my theory is its a warewolf

Omg its manbearpig, things are about to get serial

Huh, first guess would be werewolf but as I know devs, that would be too simple. I bet it's made like that to be misleeding.
In other words, it's a flying killer 100% you heard it here first.
2 -
Festering makes me think of some sort of infection or bug kind of thing.
0 -
Wasn't the next killer supposed to be a licensed one???? I'm so confused omg but hyping nevertheless
0 -
For some reason Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde immediately came to mind.
3 -
It´s half pig and half man-bear!
But seriously, seems to be some kind of animalistic shapeshifter. Is that growing fur on the back?
Would be so nice.

Werewolf/Jekyll and Hyde. It sounds like maybe glass breaking at first. Maybe his thing he drinks to turn into Hyde? Could also be a werewolf for similar reasons. It looks hairy though, so i'm going for werewolf.

Thats why you should not trust Leaks blindly.
1 -
It's possible but at 12 seconds that looks a lot like a dogs head.
1 -
is the alchemist!!!!
2 -
Definitely this new killer is the alchemist. You hear a glass thing breaks basically a syringe and then transform on werewolf or maybe a wendigo creature surely wolf.
I just hope it not be another m1 looped forever killer
2 -
Does that make Al Gore the survivor?
0 -
The Wolfman:O POGGERS dude
Realistically - knowing how the devs are, what we are looking at in the trailer is likely the survivor being inflicted by the killers power.
1 -
I'm not trusting anything blindly, that's why I'm asking ffs. I don't know where the "the next two killers will be licensed" statement comes from. Also key word: "supposed".

from the Halloween events!!!

"The Furry"
1 -
This 😁
3 -
You hear glass breaking though, which is similar to clowns (you see kate and hear a glass break), so I was thinking maybe we're seeing a survivor being affected by something, and not the killer.
0 -
No Killer would take him serial.
2 -
Here me out... Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde? The shadow is similar enough to the original character and I'm pretty that whole thing was brought about by the drinking of a potion. The chapter is confirmed to be non-licensed, and the story is absolutely old enough to not have a copywrite anymore.
1 -
That is a good point but its also possible the killer is maybe powering up by drinking the glass and then breaking the glass its very possible both ways but what i find odd is the hair in it would be funny though if the killer threw bottles at survivors and turned them hairy xD

Killer power ginna be making you ugly as hell? Well not really useful in chases but... Can quentin have worse face?
0 -
I think it's the Alchemist from the Hallowed Blight events.
1 -
Obviously the alchemist, but the question is turning into what. Looks like a werewolf ish killer to me...please be a werewolf.
Possible Dr Jeckel/Mr Hyde thing going on as well.
0 -
Festering is an interesting word, because it can mean an infection/open wound, something rotting or " undergo physical and mental deterioration in isolated inactivity."
So maybe someone with open wounds or mental issues from isolation? I'm thinking Candyman still..
0 -
Not sure how you got that from 4 seconds of a shadow on the wall, but cool.
0 -
Is there a sword at the centre bottom of the screen? Is whatever it is going to touch it?
0 -
Yea not so much the candy theory but festering to me doesn't shout "mutating into an infinitely stronger beast like a werewolf".
0 -
Based on the shape of the head they're wearing a hood. So my guess is the alchemist.
0 -
The shadowy figure shape seems like some sort of werewolf or something similar, but the glass breaking (and that other noise that I can't make out) doesn't seem like a coincidence. I like the theory that it's the Alchemist. Possibly transforming into some sort of beast-like creature.

A few people remembered tome 1....darn

So, quick research and speculation. I see nothing in the IMDB trailers that looks viable.
Leaks by Daylight says they've added Shards as a currency for purchasing it.
Which implies non-licensed. I showed the video my wife and her first thought was The Fly but after we watched it a few times she said it does look more like a Werewolf.
To me the glass shattering at the beginning instantly made me think of Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde, which is also old enough to be public domain... I guess we'll see.
EDIT:
I'm a new player so I don't have any of the Tomes completely finished but I do I have one Alchemist cut scene and this seems like a good guess.
0 -
the hoodied figure looks a lot like him (The Alchemist) aswell.
i think the scene we got to see was him injecting himself with one of the nektar vials he became addicted to (thats why we hear the sound at the beginning, its him injecting himself the fluid with a syringe).
if the tomes compendium section wasnt bugged, i'd go back to tome 1 to check. but since i cant do that, im stuck with this assumption.
0 -
Its just the clown bullying others with his bottles
0 -
inb4 Were-rabbit.
Grommit the survivor.
3 -
Well it was confirmed that you could buy the character with shards so yeah
0 -
Devs already tired a flying killer but they didn't go with it cz it was way to easy to find survivors on open maps and you power was kind of useless in the indoors maps.
0 -
I guess there is a way to open the Tome1 memories, because i just did it. Try going into the Compendium directly after starting the game. So Main-menu:Archieve:Compendium.
0 -
Its Mr Hyde lol
0 -
It is most likely alchemist probably overdosing on the serum and turning into some sort of creature or something that is definitely not werewolf, because the things growing out of his back look more like spines than fur, since fur wouldn’t look like ^ ^, it would look more like ~ ~ ~ so yeah, it’s probably alchemist turning into an entity like being or something

Super cereal

yeah its weird... ive got it once aswell, but like 95% of the time i try to go there i just end up looking at the Tome 4 stories.
its okay though, you can find the video on the internet so i could indeed check a little later.
just hope this gets fixed soon
