Different killer

Behaviour missed their chance for better killers for next DLC

1. "The thing" from the thing. It would start off looking like one of the survivors. The killer can do Gens with survivors but each skill check regresses the gen. (skill checks are more frequent for the thing) being close to survivors while in disguise increases the things power. As the power increases survivors will hear the heart beat from other survivors so they wont know who the killer is.

The survivor can be R.J. MacReady from the original movie

2. Wendigo. Can see the aura of survivors from any distance if they are moving or doing any action. Moves at 130% and can crawl. But needs to hit 3 times.

Survivor can be a native American (male or female doesn't matter)

New mechanic can be sliding or crawling under obstacles. Killers would take time going under except for the wendigo which can crawl (this mechanic also works for the thing) sliding under as survivor takes time to get up to recover.

3. Yeti. Can charge towards survivor and if they can successfully hit survivors it will knock them down. Moves at 110% speed, charge speed is 125% but is hard to maneuver.

Survivor can be a very strong, athletic hiker (male or female) 

New mechanic can be bursting through certain walls (which would be a killer perk or built in mechanic)

    How did they miss their chance?...All we've seen is a picture of a map and killer... nothing else.

    Missed there chance in a sense where they won't be implementing any of these killers. instead we have a close to human looking killer, who by looking at what we have has a split personality which could tie into his ability.

    First, they already said it wouldnt be licensed, so the thing wasnt ever going to happen this season. 

    Secondly, how did they "miss" an opportunity for two very bland killer ideas? Yeah, they would fit...the...snow....but come on, wouldnt you rather have a killer with something different? 

    Thirdly, they never said it was the killer, so its possible still, and they can always release them later....I was personally hoping for krampus, but just because they didnt go with what I wanted personally, I'm not going to scream "omg they missed their opportunity jesus they need to get their shot together".

    So tired of people being ungrateful because they already assume it's not exactly what they wanted so they're not happy....

    "the thing" is a licensed movie monster. the devs can not decide weather they can add this to the game or not.
    besides that, your "shape shifting" killer idea has already been rejected from them and would probaply be very weak.

    your wendigo sounds just like the wendigos from Until Dawn, which are, again, licensed. besides that, your idea sounds horribly OP in my ears. also, who says that the new killer is not a wendigo? this might be the devs interpretation of a wendigo.

    your yeti would be a weaker hillbilly. besides that, i dont think that a yeti would fit into this game. it wouldnt fit in the lore, as any other killer this game has was a human who snapped and started killing, but a yeti is just an animal that would hunt due to its instincts and also it wouldnt fit in any not snowy map.

    imo the devs didnt miss any "amazing chance" to add a new killer.
    their killers were great until noe, so i dont think this will change and this new killer looks much more interesting than all the suggestions ive seen so far.
    a yeti is unfitting, a wendigo also is and a shape shifter is not strong enough.
