    I thought this was another troll post, but I just trolled myself :(

    I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IT MEANS BUT I'M HYPE AF AND WANT TO SEE ALL THE WILD SPECULATION!

    Is it some type of an ancient altar? Or what is it? The altar in some temple maybe.

    Definitely has religious vibes to it. What are those symbols under the centre piece?

    Is that going to be religion themed? I hope it is!

    That statement describes religions perfectly. Whenever people face calamities, they turn their face to the religions and try to find comfort.

    'Following' is also a very strong hint to a religion theme.

    Most probably a cult leader or something, maybe the cult sacrificed somebody like the spirit and it came back to get revenge?

    We'll see. I am hyped

    One character looks Thai, but I can't be sure because the image is kinda low-res. Scratch that, I just don't know how to use Twitter.
    The whole thing looks to be some east-Asian temple, due to the gong and the hanging tag. However, the symbols on the tag seem Christian in nature (two crosses there).

    Middle ages maybe?
    The dark ages and the reformation both fitting the theme.
    I remember one of the dev also mentioned we will get a killer that is the oldest in term of timeline, maybe this is the one?

    Interesting! Its giving me a religious kinda feeling

    I'm getting religious vibes, I like it! Considering this is the oldest killer too I'm hyped.

    I'm not a big fan on modern day killers, Legion did absolutely nothing for me, since it was a bunch of kids in masks, so this has me excited!

    I would lose my ######### with happiness if they finally put nun in. I’ve only been asking for a nun killer since I started playing this game.

    Where is the character? I don't see anything resembling a word in the picture.
    I do see some pattern on the arch though, but it don't looked like character too.

    They’re come form of cross.

    The general design looks like a bell or shrine. The item suspended in the air by the chains looks like it’s probably an urn containing ashes or possibly bones.

    The general design looks like something you might find in some form of Asian temple.

    But the small crosses below the suspended item suggest a Western European design.

    I was referring to a character on the tag, but like I said, I just don't know how to use Twitter. I was looking at a low-res image, which is why I confused a symbol with a character.

    If that's a gong, its shaped wrong. Looks more like a shrine if anything.

    If it has a religious vibe, that is interesting. I just hope it isn't some anti-Christian thing.

    I doubt it. I think BHVR are smart enough to not go that route.

    Who knows. Looks interesting.

    The image and tagline give me Eternal Darkness vibes.

    As absolutely epic as it would be having Pious Augustus as the new killer I can't see Nintendo ever allowing that on rival systems :(

    It could be balance with the survivor being religious, and the killer not.... or vice versa. As long as they are vague with the religious part, it shouldn’t be a problem.

    daRn seems we wont have the shapeshifter in the end

    the sentence "in time of darkness" widely known sentence means medieval, also cuz the Visigoth bow

    killer like religious fanatic like a "knights templar",

    but could be also a dracula (less likely), dracula associated with darkness often, and hates light

    On the contrary, I believe Christianity and horror go hand in hand. Not only because of the historical horrors inflicted by it, but if you look at horror you can identify Christian morals (ie. Don’t have sex, do drugs, or have no regard for your fellow man; the people who drink, screw, get high, and are jerks tend to die.)

    Well, the whole thing seems like a mixture of western and eastern religions, so it'd make sense for the "gong" to be halfway between a real gong and a church bell.

    Looks like some kind of seal or talisman to me. Interesting teasers as always!

  • Freudentrauma

    I really doubt they would base a killer on real life religion. But what I could see, if they go some kind of kultist route. Maybe a killer who whorshipped the entity before taken to it's realm or something like that.

    "In a time of darkness" "KIller older than 1910".
    Dark Ages killer perhaps?!
    Also upon close inspection of the circle, I spot lions, a symbol of Richard the Lionheart.
    The central hanging tall and narrow item is perhaps a military banner?

    My shards are on a Zealous Crusader or medieval knight. Though perhaps we'll get a Nun rip-off or evil Patriarch?

    Actually looking at it again, I don't think that's a tag. There's incense smoke coming out of it. And there's a pole connecting it to the centre. Looking online I found this. \/

    Seems similar to the one in the picture. If it was a gong, it wouldn't make much sense to connect a smoke box to it.

    that rectangular device with crosses is expulsing smoke like incense in the churches

    maybe the power is related to smoke/teleporting/shapeshifting

    So maybe an urn containing an evil entity that's being held back by the incense? The chains and the little "ball" at the top give off a kind of "evil containment chamber" vibe. Much better than an electric rice cooker, if you ask me...

  • BACKSTABBER
    BACKSTABBER Member Posts: 1,809

    I think the entity itself is that smoke going out, makes sense

  • ChesterTheMolester

    I know its licensed but it'd kinda fit John Carpenters The Fog, with the religious theme and smoke/fog.

    We need The Fog chapter.

    If you google "hanging incense burner" you will see the object in the picture. I can't pinpoint the culture exactly but so far it's very similar to Chinese.

    Actually it's way more consistent if you google Tibetan hanging incense burner.

    What does everyone make of the lion mask inscriptions on the circle?
    Man with Lions head?
    What's the association with Mali?

    There is no association with Mali, that's just an internal designation.

    Cult leaders are always the evil crazy ones. Cult followers are mostly just plain crazy. I doubt it.

    Depends on the perspective. Sometimes the bad guy doesn't always think they are the bad guy.
