    I know they said it's gonna be the oldest killer so far but oldest by lore or oldest IRL?

    Looks EXACTLY like the galley of that famous old pirate ship.

    Didn’t pirates navigate at night by following the light of the moons reflection on Shatners horn?

    Lol nice thinking would be interesting if it was some form of religion thing like a crazed priest or something 😂

    "In a time of Darkness" = Dark Ages?
    "Light to follow" = Faith or holiness (way of the light)

    Lions on outer layers a reference to Richard the Lionheart?

    The central banner has crosses on it = Christian involvement?

    Perhaps one of the characters is a religious figure, or crusader?

    My guess? I would say the killer would be a Crusader who is so zealous that his hatred of heretics piqued the Entity's interest. Thus the crusader kills because he assumes that the Entity (who would presumably speak to him) is his god when it's actually the Entity.

    Then in order for the survivor to know how to fix generators you would have a modern middle-eastern Muslim man who is a historian. This connects back to the religious theme while also making sense on how he knows how to fix generators.

    Nice logic but if it's from dark ages it would be before Richard the lion heart but a possible crusader or some form of holy man could be a possible killer. Going of what's in the photo it looks like that 'jar' (using that word loosely) is chained up so perhaps they are protecting it like you would a hex from whoever is searching for their light

    It's a killer that was taken from the oldest time period so far.

    Perhaps it is the ashes or remains of an important holy man in that jar?

    This teaser, along with the "oldes killer" hint, gives the feel that the new killer might have something to do with Inquisition.

    I'm thinking it'll be something that looks like a Deacon from Dark Souls 3

    Especially since "In times of darkness, people look to follow a light" in other words a religion or cult. Kind of like the Deacons.

    Not sure if it's been said yet or not but what about new killer been a djinn? As at the moment the huntress is currently the oldest killer coming from WW1 period so this would out date her by a long shot, the 'jar' thing that's chained up djinns are normally sealed away in certain items that hold them 'prisoner' people do look for the light to help vanquish them... 

    So we could have a djinn on our hands as the killer an the photo we have been giving is the map where the survivor holds it captive as without 'jar' they can't vanquish it and the djinn will bring the darkness down upon these realms ... 

    Any thoughts.
