If Maps Were Added for the Killers Without One
Let's say the graphical rework/Realm Beyond was completed, and the devs had the time/opportunity to go back and give maps to the killers who weren't released with one, what would you like to see for them?
BLIGHT (Talbot Grimes)
- Crotus Prenn Asylum Realm: I want to see an abandoned zoo filled with animals that Blight experimented on, with pustula plants scattered throughout the map.
TRICKSTER (Ji-Woon Hak)
- Withered Isle Realm: I think we all wanted that neon Korea that stood in as the lobby for a hot minute, including the studio where he committed those atrocities.
TWINS (Charlotte & Victor Deshayes)
- Withered Isle Realm: a French revolution-era fever dream, thinking something like the town from Disney's Beauty & the Beast, but much grittier and maybe a wooded area?
GHOST FACE (Danny Johnson)
- Within the Withered Isle Realm, maybe with a main building being the newspaper office he worked in?
- If the licenser was open to it, it would be fun to see if decked out with GF references/masks hung around certain areas.
LEATHERFACE (Bubba Sawyer/Cannibal)
- I'm aware that Grim Pantry came at roughly the same time as this patch (maybe the same one?) but not associated with the DLC.
- I'm also not overly familiar with the property, so I don't know too much about the canon locations of the films.
- For Bubba I would want to see the family farm he came from (though when I play I sometimes forget that Thompson House isn't his map, so maybe that would be too similar?)
PINHEAD (Elliot Spencer/Cenobite)
- Another property that I'm not overly familiar with, but I would imagine some kind of BDSM nightmare.
ONRYŌ (Sadako Yamamura)
- I would like to see the house that had the well in it - my instinct is to say having the ability to go down the well to another level, but I don't think that's how wells work.
WESKER (Albert Wesker/Mastermind)
- I know we already have RPD, but I consider that more the Nemesis map.
- I want the mansion, but again I'm not sure how much that map is associated with Wesker per se.
Obligatory: bring back Hawkins.

I've wanted a proper carnival map for Clown ever since his release. Think of an open field at night (or just at the crack of dawn/dusk for a partly orange and purple sky) with a smattering of colorful tents, concession stands, and other various attractions adorned with vibrant hanging lights. One large "main" tent looming over all the others along with a Ferris wheel somewhere as well. Could get a little wacky and have a funhouse or something akin to a mirror maze. Powered generators could activate lights, music or even whole attractions such as a carousel. Bonus points if they go with more of a dark carnival aesthetic (google it).

I’d rework Father Campbell’s Chapel into a new map without the Clown association and I’d take those elements and create a new realm for him that’s essentially just a large wooded area where the traveling carnival set up.
I’d rework Temple of Purgation into a map like Lery’s where it’s all inside the temple except for a few instances of outdoor areas. While it could remain in the same realm it’d give a whole new experience.
For Ghost Face I would create a Roseville realm. It would have a feel like Haddonfield except instead of being in a housing neighborhood I’d give it a downtown setting with the newspaper company being a main attraction.
For the Cenobite I’d create a realm called the Hell Dimension. It would be visually striking and be labyrinthine in design with a dungeon feel to it but it would be more industrial overall.
For the Onryo I’d like to see a Seaside Cottage. They could do it like Grave of Glenvale where you can see into the horizon but can’t interact with anything beyond so they can incorporate the ocean. The main feature would be the cabin and well and the wooded areas surrounding them.
As for the others that don’t have any kind of map….
The Cannibal, imo, is too similar to Hillbilly and I feel he fits in fine to Coldwind Farm.
The Blight would fit nicely into Backwater Swamp so I’d create a map there with a main feature being a shack or something with his “research.”
The Twins I feel would fit into Coldwind Farm so they could rework one of those maps to make them feel at home like they did with Sheltered Woods.
The Trickster is one I’ve not branched any ideas on. If I had to pick one I’d end up putting him in my imaginary realm the Hell Dimension with the cenobites, but make his map into a twisted music studio.
The Mastermind I feel fits fine into RPD, but I would love to see a new RE map anyway. I’d also like to remerge the existing ones.
And lastly the Skull Merchant I believe is fine with her Sheltered Woods. I know that map wasn’t created for her but was reworked in her favor.
I know you didn’t ask about other existing realms but I’d like to add that I’d also further extend some of them by creating new maps for them:
*I’d create another map for Crotus Prenn that’s more of an indoor map where you could explore patient rooms
*Haddonfield needs new love so I’d create the hospital from the second movie… but instead of making it all indoor I’d cut off certain areas and make part of the map outside as if the hospital isn’t too far from Lampkin Lane.
*If the Blight wasn’t given his map in Backwater Swamp I’d create a new one anyway.
*I would rework all of the Badham Preschool maps so that maybe they’re condensed into two larger ones. Then I’d create a new Springwood map that features the high school with a focus on a very large, labyrinthine boiler room.
*I’d expand the current Ormond map and create another that is in the same general area but not part of the ski resort. I was thinking it could feature the grocery store Joey worked at.
*I would definitely bring back Hawkins
*Silent Hill is another dimension that needs more love given how rich the source material is, and I’d focus on the mall and amusement park locations.
*The Forsaken Boneyard is one of the most unique realms in the game and I definitely think they need to add another map for it.
*The Withered Isle could use a new map, and even though it just released I’d also like to see one for Dvarka Deepwood as it is teeming with possibilities.

Only thing i care for is if the maps comes with their own realm or not.
In fact they should have given Temple of Purgation it's own realm or at least move it to a more fitting realm like Eyrie.

I think having Dyer Island as a map for Blight would be great. It's a pretty important location in the lore that isn't represented in-game at all yet.
