If there was another AoT chapter, how would it work?

So I found these (really funny) images of a supersized Ghost Face on Reddit. Please humbly observe:

While these are goofy, it got me thinking. What if AoT made a more legitimate appearance in Dbd?

When DeadbyBHVR twitter account made the announce it got over 100k likes. That's insane. Even for twitter standards. It could be Dbd's most liked tweet.

Issue of making a full-fledged chapter is that we're so far into the game's life that there's just so many caveats to make it happen. You got indoor maps for example. Maybe they can all make them roofless? May cost too much money for the man hours.

So what if AoT chapter 2.0 was a map instead? With actual interactable element or hazard areas that have titans taking the players? What if hook sacrifices had titans come over and devouring the survivors?

Essentially, I felt like those GF screenshots are a little creepy. Like yeah its funny but having something stare down at you like that is unnerving. A detail like that would fit Dbd so much but how does it even get implemented? And in general, how would an AoT chapternbe implemented?

Discuss.

    I personally really don't like the idea of more anime into DbD, but that's really because I tend not to like anime in general (even if I did watch SNK for the most part)

    If there would be a second AOT chapter, I guess it would be more formalized than the first, but not to the point of modifying core mechanics such as maps. So probably a killer and suvivor(s). Considering two of the primordial titans have already been made cosmetics of killers, and most titans having roughly the same lethality (eat human = good), I guess it could be the Female Titan since it's one of the most iconic antagonists of the anime and one of the coolest looking. I could see perks relating to her ability to selectively cover her weak points, that could make killer insensible to stuns on a controlled basis. Maybe one more exposed perk because if not a literal titan, I don't know whom such a perk would fit.

    (I personally think the Jaw Titan is one of the coolest looking but it's much less iconic.)

    If the survivor didn't have a perk that actually fights back against the killer through whatever means (stuns or other, possibly new, mechanic) and an exhausiton perk, it would be pretty disappointing in my opinion.

    I don't know how DbD would handle the size of the killer though, since the game is usually revolving around average-to-moderately-tall killers and does not have infrastructures that can let a 15meter tall creature walk through.

    I wish we got a Shifter as a killer, But they shift into a humanly sized titan. Maybe depending on addons their power gets a new ability? Hardening to reduce pallet stuns or something.

    Man I loved that video on youtube. A laugh fest. To answer your question though...

    I can only hope for something like this
