License Chapters For Next Year .

I can't really predict it because they pick some very odd things. I think it would be cool to get a Jo-On/The Grudge chapter, we could get Kayako as a killer and maybe Karen Davis a survivor. that's the first one that jumps to the top of my head.

With how much they teased Candyman around the anniversary, only to seemingly suddenly change it to Silent Hill at the last second, I'm going to keep expecting the next chapter to be Candyman until he finally comes out.

Beyond that, they've expressed interest in Chucky and Pennywise (neither of which I see working), and Jason's lawsuit should be over by then.

I know there is a very LOW probability, but I hope the lawsuit things will be fixed this year so that Jason is finally added to dbd in 2021.

(or candyman)

You got a point bro!

Candyman, Pinhead, Pumpkinhead. Though for some reason, I'm thinking there will be some character no ones thought of. I'd also be cool if they did some weirder, obscure character. like The Tall Man, not that I think they would do Tall Man.

Doubling down on Pinhead. PH actually currently has the kit that would suit him really well, but you can do quite a lot with his themes of torturing survivors, could be a style encouraging keeping survivors alive as long as possible - like a stackable debuff applied on m1, that accumulates with time triggering some sort of an ult on a critical mass across all four survs, but gets cleansed on hooking.

Survivor pack from Cabin in the Woods.

Carpenter's The Thing.

Nightmare Acid Bikers from Mandy.

Jason wouldn't have a choice. The Entity overpowers him. If he's in the realm, he has to do what it says or he faces punishment.

If Jason's lawsuit is truly finished by next year and he becomes an actual possibility, I would say he is the most likely candidate. He is one of the only remaining "Mega-Icons" of the Slasher genre that we don't have in DbD yet. Plus Tommy Jarvis would be an easy survivor choice to go with him.

Candyman or the Xenomorph (Alien) are probably the next most likely. I wouldn't be surprised if these two were some of the most highly requested characters on this forum (besides a FNaF Paragraph). I'm not personally super familiar with the characters of Candyman yet, but Alien would also have an obvious survivor choice in the form of Ellen or even Amanda Ripley.

Licenses that I'm not really expecting but would love to see join the DbD cast as well:

• Resident Evil (Mr. X or Nemesis + Jill Valentine, Claire Redfield, or maybe even Albert Wesker himself)
• Outlast (Chris Walker + Miles Upshur)
• The Evil Within (The Keeper a.k.a "Boxhead" + Joseph Oda and/or Juli Kidman)
• Child's Play (Chucky + Adult Andy)
• Dead Space (maybe the Ubermorph as a killer, otherwise as a Paragraph with Isaac Clarke)
• Hellraiser (Pinhead)

The only License I really would like to have in DBD is Jason. Like, I am not hyped for Candyman at all.

In general, I prefer original Chapters more.

I'd also LOVE The Strangers or even just the man in the mask. And before people say thats just Legion, Jason is "just" Trapper and we have two chainsaw killers.

I'm hoping they start delving into the non-humanoid licensed monsters to bring to DBD. A huge untapped resource.

I don't like licensed characters, that means the only way we can play as them is spending money, which means if you want 100% achievements you also need to pay, and even tho we have shrine for perks, it's still luck.

A lot of people would say Mr. X or Nemesis but hell, I'd love to see something from 7. One of the bakers maybe? Or perhaps Eveline?

As far as movie characters, I'd love to see:

Pumpkinhead

Tall Man / Reggie Bannister

Blake / Stevie Wayne (Adrienne Barbeau) from The Fog

Rawhead Rex

I'm also down with @Eschatologue and the Acid Bikers from Mandy. Imagine Nicholas Cage as a survivor with his Tiger shirt with Undies?!?!

For me, the biggest wish is TONY THE PIMP from DEMONS! Absolutely my favourite movie character of all time and that includes Ash! Perks - "Sit here and shut up!", "Smash Everything!" & "Get outta my way!!!" If you are not familiar, you are in for a real treat!!!

I also had a thought of an "Icons of Horror" Legendary skin pack, with Actors and Actresses from Horror film history, with a generic set of Perks to link them. Think Linnea Quigley, Tom Atkins, Ken Foree, Barbara Crampton, Jeffrey Combs, Brinke Stevens, etc. etc.

Chucky is long overdue. Chucky /Tiffany as killers. Teen Andy as survivor.

I would also love to see Xenomorph with Ripley as a survivor.

So.. apparently the Candyman movie got postponed again.. to 2021. and I think it’s fair to say that if there is a Candyman chapter in the works, it will come after the movie releases.. right?

Still gonna go with Alan Wake.

ok we're changing the subject to spookiness level. because all licences in the game are real spooky /s.

well for starters, what's scary and what's not is subjective, so it doesn't really matter what either of us consider scary enough to shiver in me timbers.

next up, you posted an image (a poor one at that). guess what, it's spooky in the form of it's jumpscares and atmosphere, both of which can't really be shown here (jumpscares would need a video and either way wouldn't be startling cause we expect it and the latter is best in the form of actually experiencing it, and we can't upload games into our discussions). solid example is the VR game. I recently got it, and it can be terrifying at times if you don't know what to expect.

Third, do you think anyone actually wants Freddy himself? yes he's the most iconic, sure, but he's like the worst candidate. Springtrap is the candidate because A: he fits the best in both lore and appearance. and B: he is the only real killer (a child killer at that)

Fourth, you said in a previous comment this statement "Springtrap well, human in a robot suit who got killed by failure, I don't know about you but it sounds like a bad character design and filler for story" that's not a story, that's a basic (and I mean really basic) character description. why don't I actually give you the story (I think, there's a reason this games lore is infamous after all)

William was a fairly average joe. He worked as a mechanic at the Freddy Fazbear/Fredbear chain of restaurants, and has made multiple important creations for the brand, such as the ever useful springlock suits. or at least, that's how he seemed. Below the surface, William was a dark and twisted man. his creations weren't made with the intent of bringing joy. they were killers. within another set of his creations, the animatronics at Circus Baby's Entertainment and Rental, were mechanisms used to trap and kill children. even his springlock suits weren't so wholesome, as he would don them to lure children into the back, where they wouldn't be seen again. this monster of a man was far too content with the life he led. until one fateful day.

His dear daughter Elizabeth had gotten too close to one of his machines, and as such, she paid with her life. William was distraught, he thought nothing else could happen to make his situation worse. but he was wrong. It was his youngest sons birthday, held at Fredbears family diner. He never was a fan of the animatronics, but it was the cheapest option. The oldest brother, Micheal, was always mischievous, but this time he crossed the line. as he would soon learn, the bite of an animatronic bear could indeed pierce through a young child's skull.

William was finally broken. he became noticeably agitated at the smallest things, quick to rage, and abusive to his only remaining son. but it didn't stop there. After the closing of Fredbears Family Diner he moved on to the much larger Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, featuring new animatronics and new victims. 5 more children would go missing, and 5 animatronics would have new stuffing. they started smelling rotten, malfunctioning more, and reportedly oozed what many thought to be blood and mucus, but nothing was ever confirmed in court.

William returned to the restaurant one night and dismantled the animatronics as a hopeful attempt to save himself from what really controlled them at night. unfortunately for him, he failed. the spirits of the children he slaughtered that day were free, and they wanted vengeance. they cornered him in a secret room holding some old arcade machines and the old spring bonnie suit. not sure of what to do, William scrambled to put on the suit, hoping to ward off the ghosts of his past. at first, it looked like it worked, as the spirits stopped their advance. but only a few seconds later, things turned for the worse. SNAP! the sound of springlocks coming undone rang through the air for but a second, before being overshadowed by Williams screams and Pleas for help as the mechanical parts were shot into his body, mutilating him beyond recognition. the ghosts left him, having done what they came to do, as william slowly bled to death, alone.

30 years later. previous locations are being searched for remaining props to be placed in the new Fazbears Fright horror attraction, when they find a rotten suit of what used to resemble a rabbit. Now decayed, they bring it to Fazbears Fright thinking it's just a harmless prop to scare visitors with. that night, he awakens, back alive and ready to continue to satiate his hunger for blood.

now to add the part where the entity takes him, just replace that last part with something along the lines of "the entity was drawn to the evilness of this dude in a rabbit costume, so it yoinked him for their game of advanced freeze tag when he looked cool enough".

now I'm no writer, but I'm 95% sure that's more than a large portion of the bios in game. example: Trapper (without archives) is essentially "daddys boy killed a bunch of miners for papa and then got yoinked"

That didn't work for Freddy no way a spider entity is going to be able to do it for long if at all.
