This falls under my "Things I never thought would happen".
I dont care for Nicolas Cage, but he will probably come with a super-strong Perk to give people an incentive to buy a Survivor-only Paragraph.

Just seen this and this is as left field a news as could ever be imagined lol
tbf he does look like Ace but I won de dig this means he’ll be Ace in the DBD movie??

We all agreed a Nicholas Cage is not a people.
Fr tho, this is absurd.
3 -
This man will do literally every role he gets offered I love it
4 -
when did they say that?
i know blizzard adopted the policy but i don't remember it happening with dbd
0 -
I am so confused but also immensely curious and intrigued
I'm not against this at all
1 -
Multiple times, mostly in relation to killers as to not glorify those - even something like Jack the Ripper. But I also remember statements from BHVR in regards to requests for famous people as survivors.

Oh i see it is odd

Thats hilarious.

Most random out of the blue revelation ever lol.
1 -
This is… Hmm… Will need to wait and see how his character is integrated into the game.
Bruce Campbell has the Ashley Williams persona as cover. If it’s straight up Nic Cage? Hmm.

Jack Torrance incoming?
Or should I say... 'Here comes Johnny!'?

Well Haddie might have some competition for being my main now
1 -
This is so random
1 -
They also said no clowns or killers who spoke on previous streams. Suppose they went back on it I guess?

This is just a teaser for the anniversary chapter reveal being Candyman. "Not the bees! Ahhhh!"
4 -
That is certainly a stupid choice
Whether it turns out to be Stupidly Brilliant or just Stupid remains to be seen. This feels like the kind of license that could work wonderfully in the right hands.
There's two kinds of companies that make this move. Really confident ones with an artistic vision to make something like this work and desperate companies. I hope I'm wrong and BHVR still has some of that ol razzle dazzle magic left.

"Find out more July" meaning this isn't the anniversary chapter and is instead a paragraph... Meaning they've just overshadowed their entire anniversary chapter (unless it's something massive like Alien). Nice.

You know what? This is the funniest possible reveal they could have made. I'm not even mad. This is awesome. Mandy is one of my favorite movies

My Jack the Ripper description for him as a killer. But its unfinshed.
Jack the Ripper: Weapon Amputation Knife or known as Liston Knife
Lore: There was this boy named Aaron Kosminski who was born September 11, 1865. He was a Polish Jew who emigrated from Koldawa, Congress Poland to England in the 1880s. He worked as a barber in Whitechapel. He was suspected as Jack the Ripper because he had a great hatred of women with strong homicidal tendencies. He killed 11 people, 4 of them were mutilated after death. The other 7 had a slash to the throat. The description of his symptoms was paranoid schizophrenia. He was sent to a mental hospital because he threatened his sister with his knife that he used on others… His last moments in the institute the Entity had taken him and left a decoy in his place. Now he roams the realm looking for more women, so they can be his victims.
Power: Anatomy Knowledge
If he downs a survivor he takes out an organ from the survivor, making them have the “broken” status effect. The survivor can replace it and lose the “broken" status by laying down on an operating table and another survivor puts it back. The operation takes 15 secs to do and the survivor operating on the survivor will be faced with skill checks. An operating table cannot be reused by the survivors. Only 5 tables will spawn within a trial.
Perks:
No Mental Issues
Mutilation
Third Perk

This is not real, There is no conceivable universe in which this is real
This is a out of season April Fools joke and I refuse to believe otherwise
3 -
I was thinking the same thing. This means they aren't even going to talk about it during the anniversary stream.
1 -
Sweet and kinda funny

think that rule only applies to killers. Having killers based on real people and/or events will likely cause huge problems for BHVR legally and morally stain them in a really bad way. Survivors based on real people though is a different matter, I haven't heard anything and it would be more acceptable than killers based off real people.

Oh my goodness, think of the MEMES!!!!
4 Nicholas Cages in a lobby and when the match starts they find Pyramid Head. They all advance: "Now, see how you like our Cage of atonement!"

For myself - while I applaud the intention to get some mainstream eyeballs and I love Nicholas Cage - I’d prefer to see him portray an NPC and for them to use him as a vehicle to tidy up their messy lore. He could be great doing all the archive narrations going forward and becoming a figurehead for the game in marketing material, but I can’t say I’m especially excited for hooking him personally!

Super strong perk: avoid prison while being seriously indebted to IRS.
This is an amazing perk he has. How does it help survivors, though? 😏

This feels too late to be Aniversary chapter. June 5th is way too late when the game came out mid June if I remember correctly. There is probably no PTB and if it is then the chapter is delayed by few weeks compare to usual.
0 -
Who said he's going to be a survivor?
0 -
It'll get a shirt segment overshadowed by everything else we've learnt today
1 -
I would be more okay with that for sure - at least I could just ignore that aspect completely.
They definitely stated it applies to survivors as well - hopefully there will be some clarification
0 -
Who is Haddie?
0 -
I think this is amazing.
I like Nicolas Cage.
Question is - is he playing in the real DbD movie as well?
I reall hope yes..
2 -
True, but the date/timeframe looks like a Midchapter-Paragraph. And I highly doubt they would put a Killer in a Midchapter-Paragraph.
0 -
Ugh don’t give me hope for him just being an NPC for the archives or something. Hopefully they will stay true to their statement in this regard and don’t add random famous person as a survivor.

BHVR confirmed Nic Cage will have his own perks
0 -
I'd agree with your sentiment if it was just Nicolas Cage himself being the character.
However this is most likely gonna be no different from Ash, basically It's just gonna be a character with the likeness of Nic Cage, to which i think is fine.
0 -
I would be fine with that but I think that’s not the case at all.
0 -
I think you assume too much at this point, let's wait with judging it until more info is given.
0 -
Have you seen the teaser?
0 -
Of course he will have his own Perks. And at least one of them will be very strong and nerfed into the ground sooner or later. Will not be different from Ash or Mikaela.
1 -
This doesn’t necessarily need to be Nicolas Cage as Nicolas Cage. It could be Nicolas Cage from a movie, but it’s makes more sense to advertise it as Nicolas Cage, then to give us the character name Nicolas Cage is playing.
It might even be an announcement that Nicolas Cage will be in the upcoming DBD movie, and we aren’t given a character name because that would be a spoiler.
1 -
I have, if it does turn out to be Nic himself, i'll stand corrected.
Also i'll say this, if their implementation of him is good enough, i probably won't have as much of a problem with it as i would have if it was just done with no reason given whatsoever.

Does this indicate of a Willys wonderland chapter? The setting seems very similar to willys wonderland. Maybe the stand in for FNAF?
