No Freddy changes until 2025?
Well, that is unexpectedly disappointing…
I've already waited 5 years. What is one more, right?
…Right?

Remember, there will be light at the end of the tunnel.
Just think about legion, ghostface, twins and hillbilly
Freddy won't be an exception, have hope
2 -
Also némesis ,wraith , etc

Was the initial announcement of him getting changed back in 2023? Feels bad man
4 -
To be honest, my friend, I am not sure. I've been waiting for him to be fun again since 2019.
I know, friend, I know. But why does this tunnel have to feel endless?
2 -
I guess us Mikey players will be waiting til next year too.
3 -
They better cook with his rework 🧑🍳
2 -
And earlier this year I thought both of them would've been changed in time for the Halloween event.
Hahaha, we are not lucky, my friend.
It really depends on how they will approach his rework. If we don't move away from his post-rework power then nothing will be fixed.
3 -
Don't be down, my friend.
My hope is that they are negotiating for cosmetics for his next update, specifically the other two versions of him - Classic Freddy and New Nightmare Freddy.
Disclaimer:
This hope is not grounded in any facts and is strictly copium.
I shall continue to inhale the copium and hope, irrespective of reality.

It better be a real rework. His current power is already outdated

was that confirmed?

"It really depends on how they will approach his rework. If we don't move away from his post-rework power then nothing will be fixed."
The thing is, this can happen. Freddy was very popular after the Rework and players in general liked him. They did not care that he was boring, because he was easy to play and very strong.
Personally, I would prefer him being mid-range and fun to play over him being strong again as before and boring to play. But I feel that quite a bunch of players care more about how powerful a Killer is than how fun it is.
2 -
Confirmed by the developer stream, yes.
2 -
I am hoping they are taking their time with them because they want to get them right. They have hopefully learned from past mistakes (looking at you Twins).

Dream Demon needs some love. Current Freddy is not so weak as original one, but thats not a Freddy. Its just weaker Clown
0 -
Well, my friend, it certainly isn't looking good for us Freddy mains.
I don't mind the lack of cosmetics, to be honest. I just want Freddy to be fun and unique again, as he used to be.
You, me, @KaTo1337 … we will have to go through Halloween and Winter Solstice with Freddy as he currently is.
The thing is, this can happen.
You're right, my dear friend, I know you are.
But if I don't believe I'll get my favorite killer back, then what is the reason for me to be here? To post every day, to insist on his return whenever I can?
0 -
That is what concerns me, my friend. The Twins only got their rework after a long time, and everyone disliked it.
1 -
Sorry to hear that about Freddy, big G. Fingers crossed it doesn't get delayed.
1 -
Honestly, my dear friend, at this point I'm prepared to get GTA 6 before the Freddy rework.
1 -
Until this rework gets hate and then its back to square 1 🤣🤣🤣🤣
0 -
If they do it right, we should be safe. At this point I think most players agree Freddy isn't doing well.
0 -
Llol the past changes yeah nah dont get your hopes up bro
0 -
I blame SM (Skull Merchant) for it.
They are putting so much work into that killer (Constant buffs\nerfs\reworks she had) - she is now taking most of developer's time…
I would rather them to work on Freddy and Mikey instead…
@GeneralV Hold on and stay strong champ.
1 -
I guess I missed that part of the live stream. Massive shame, Freddy deserves so much more. I hope they've spent so long cooking because they have something to show for it, rather than getting another Twins situation.
0 -
True, but I feel like the Twins was left on the back burner for so long because they are so unpopular pick rate wise. Nobody really cared much. Nobody was pressing them to hurry up with it.
Unlike Mikey and Freddy who have the masses constantly asking for them to get some love.
0 -
Did they say that?
0 -
The Skull Merchant was changed quite a few times, yes, but her rework has already been scheduled for 2025. As you've said, other killers like Freddy and Myers should take priority.
Good point, my friend. Hopefully it will be enough for them to actually get good changes, instead of another Freddy rework / Overheat / Twins situation.
Yes, it has been confirmed by the developer stream earlier today.
0 -
I mean it was already confirmed cuz we know the next patch has plague and cenobite changes
0 -
There was still hope for December, to be fair.
0 -
It's sad until you think about how close 2025 really is tbh
Kinda mad how fast the year's gone by
0 -
Yeah, but we don't when in 2025. We could get GTA 6 before the Freddy rework, which is kinda crazy to think about.
Also yeah, how is it October already?!?
2 -
It's sad that it takes them so long.
On the other side though, I feel like it's better to take more time and do it right, than butcher the character up à la Skull Merchant.
0 -
Thats very sad my friend. I cannot say that it suprises me though. Sadly.
1 -
I'm sorry bud. It's a real shame that he won't be getting his rework until next year.
Although, this year is almost over. Maybe it will come out early next year.
0 -
let's wait until the end.
0 -
It is all we can do, friend.
0 -
Expect to see it on Dec 31st, 2025.
0 -
I am hoping for early 2025, at least. But there is no way to know.
1 -
This is so disheartening. Freddy was the first killer I ever played and he has a special place in the DBD part of my brain. I always find myself going back to Freddy. I really really hope the lateness of the rework is because they're taking their time with it to get it right.
0 -
Gosh I can’t believe so much time has passed.
When I heard on the livestream that his rework is being pushed back I felt so bad. It’s hard not to imagine freddy kicking a can down a dusty road.
1 -
Just to note: Since Freddy enjoyers were waiting so many years for his rework…
I expect him to see more useful kit, updated face (to be more in touch with movies), voice lines and his own chase music.
Other than that wouldn't be enough after such long wait time!
0 -
Just for my license geeks out there. Wes Craven's Estate owns the license for Nightmare on Elm Street and they have since like 2019. So, I would assume the door is cracked, maybe even a little further open now for Robert Englund voice lines…
1 -
GOD - I am so so sorry my friend. Nobody should have to wait this long to play a license character that is already in DBD. Its just crazy. Push back the tweaks for plague and cenobite. Freddy needs to be on the list ASAP NOW SHARP.
1 -
prepare to be disappointed
Assuming the rework comes out and they don't just push it back again
0 -
No because november/december is the last major release this year.

I love this song. Whenever I have an Elm Street marathon, I watch the credits of all of the films.
Part 4 has this song at the very end called "Don't be afraid of your Dreams"
Do not be afraid of your daydreams of Freddy not being reworked, us Freddy mains will rise. I can feel it.
"So many sleepless nights
You lay awake wondering
Is something out there waiting for you
There's so many mountains to climb
And dreams that keep coming
If you're gonna make it you know ya gotta reach down inside....
