Chapter 11 killer confirmed: The Shapeshifter
According to Malian legend, male hippopotami are shape shifting, evil creatures. One legend maintains that one such creature began eating all the crops in a village, and a young hero named Fara Maka attempted to kill the best with spears and killer hounds. Nothing worked until finally, a spell performed by Fara Maka’s wife stopped the beast.

Well I guess that confirms it then. No need to speculate any further. It's a hippo.

I think you and myself have two very different understandings of the meaning behind "confirmed."

I wouldn't put too much thought into the Mali hint. Devs are using country names to reference chapter internally. England->Freddy, Finland->SAW, Guam->Clown, Haiti->Spirit, Kenya->Legion. I think Mali will just be the internal name for chapter 11.

If the killer is a hippo he still won't be as fat as Clown.

You should probably look up what the word confirmed actually means.
A shape shifting Killer would be absolute garbage anyway.

What size is the shapeshifter? Small maybe?
Also we have the shape already. The ShapeShifter isn't gonna be a good name.
Could Voodoo be something the killers into? Like everytime they hit someone they can affect stuff through that survivor.0 -

She really wasn't. The codenames don't seem to have any correlation to the Killers.

But in the trailer we see the male variation and we also see the male varitiation first in the Legion's picture.

However the Legion skins are actually canon. Who knows, maybe it was Julie chasing Frank and David as a plot.
Which, by that logic, makes the Legions power absolutely click bait.

Killer too weak/stong.
1/10
Still new main tho

Legion was clearly meant to be a shapeshifter considering his trailer. Then (I think) it finally dawned on the devs that a shapeshifter does NOT work in a game with 70% SWF lobbies.3

So far, every hint they posted for previous killers was actually tied to it, I don't see why Mali would just be the internal name this time and not an actual hint, when she said it was a hint.

The one after the Legion was taken from the furthest point in the past, relative to all the others we've had up until this point.

After legion, I am almost terrified the next killer is going to heal survivors by hitting them but hey, it will be a FUN killer as the devs put it...

This post is... well, wrong. The project name is Mali- but that shouldn’t mean anything, since the legion dlc was a project called Kenya. I think that’s just a red herring.0

Why would it be a hint about the killer? Maybe it's the survivor's nationality.

Is the Shapeshifter teaser out yet?
0 -
So more likely some sort of tribal witch doctor voodoo killer type character maybe?
Not sure about the 🦛 though0 -
There was another dev that said something like he can"T talk more about it because "he is watching". A shapeshifter would be able to watch survivors without them being alerted, so it's even more proof that my theory is correct. You'll see!

SWF would counter that boi in 2 seconds0 -
Lol an assumed flag and the words he’s watching and you deduce the new killer is a shape shifting hippo.Sinner said:There was another dev that said something like he can"T talk more about it because "he is watching".

Haha, yeah I am fun at parties. I never said it will be a hippo though, just inspired from the hippo legend, like Huntress was only inspired from Russian legend.

Its a shapeshifter that turns into other killers0

Hippos are vicious0

Here's to hoping chapter 11's perks, killers power, and design are 10x better than that PoS legion0
-
I'm really doubting it's a shapeshifter, or even African related at all.0
-
Since the flag is a hint and not a code name it could be more. Dude said it's a hint.0

Shut up you all, the new killer will be Chucky.1

It couldn't be. The killer for chapter 11 is the oldest killer to date. Chucky would not be the oldest, the nurse would predate him for example.Walter_Correa said:Shut up you all, the new killer will be Chucky.

That’s the chapter code name, Mali. Spirit’s chapter was called Haiti. Legions was called Kenya. They didn’t seem relative to the country- since, as you know, Haiti is completely different than Japan, where the chapter was based. The chapter isn’t based in Mali- it’s based somewhere else. Mali was our hint. For example: when the Nightmare on a elm street was codenamed England, it was because Freddy’s original actor, Robert Englund, had a similar name.
So, like many people on this thread are saying- and are backed by the DBD Gamepedia, due to the trend of the recent chapter releases, Mali isn’t where the chapter is based- it’s our hint. The flag in particular should be examined. If we can figure out the trend, we can follow it- if there is one. Otherwise, this could be all for nothing.0 -
