October/Halloween Event Without Sable? Really BHVR?
So Mikaela is getting a new skin again… but no Sable?
In Sable’s lore it literally says:
"She wasn’t into ponies or dolls or tea parties with teddy bears. She liked bugs, lizards, riding bikes and dirt clod fights. Her favorite holiday was Halloween."
With Halloween being her favorite holiday, it feels like a huge missed opportunity not to include her in any of the October content. Honestly, it’s sad and pretty disappointing to see she’s not in the Trick and Treat Collection, the Haunted By Daylight event rewards, or even hinted at for the Rift. If there’s ever a time to spotlight her, it’s now.
Here’s the roadmap so far:
- Night of the Living Cat Skin Collection – September 30th
- Yui Kimura
- The Oni
- Autumn Fashion Collection – September 30th
- Orela Rose
- Mikaela Reid
- Kate Denson
- The Legion (Julie)
- DBD Day event – October 2nd to 20th
- Rift Reverence release – October 7th
- Yun-Jin Lee
- The Trickster
- Haunted By Daylight event – October 14th to November 4th
- Felix Richter Inferno Core skin reward
- The Skull Merchant Dia Das Bruxas skin reward
- Trick and Treat Skin Collection – October 14th
- Thalita Lyra
- Renato Lyra
- Dead By Daylight at Gamescom Asia in Bangkok – October 17th to 19th
- DBD Day – October 18th
- The Walking Dead Maggie Legendary skin for Michonne – October 21st
- Days Gone By Collection – October 28th
- The Clown Lethal Scarecrow skin
- Hallowed Blight Skin Collection – October 31st
- The Unknown Blight skin
Sable deserves at least one cosmetic this season, especially given how much her lore ties into spooky themes. Hopefully, BHVR surprises us, but right now it feels like she’s being overlooked.
Just give me the big reveal SABLE is Je-Zable enter the MAD DESIGNER- TRYKS and ALL is FORGIVEN!🎭

I thought Sable already had a halloween skin?

So does Mikeala but it was for the Tricks & Treats collection.
Sad she’s not included for October Roadmap - Sable could at the very least be included in rift and or void-2 -
Why are people downvoting this? Tricks as a skin would be cool.

Sable hasn't had an original outfit the entire year. Which is ridiculous because she's the most played survivor by a landslide, yet they've given multiple outfits to very unpopular characters like haddie and gabriel and several for renato and thalita.
Kinda feel like they been looking on twitter too much. It does not make sense to release outfits for underplayed characters at the expense of your more popular ones. It didn't even change their popularity, which proves that popularity isn't dictated by quantity of cosmetics.
With all that said i hope sable gets more outfits next year.-3 -
Tryks wouldn't fit as a Survivor or Killer. Also just because the word able is in both their names, doesn't mean they're the same character, especially as they have two entirely different facial structures when actually compared to one another.

You say this, but all the links point back to fractured identities. Aside from hair color, they share the same bun hairstyle.
Also, the eye color. Interesting… why is her eye covered like TRYKS’?
Look at the 🌙 on Tryks’ strap - it matches Sable’s Waterfront Massacre collection skin on her neck.

People might not like the idea of TRYKS, but I don’t care - ’ve done my research, and all the evidence points to them being the same. As I mentioned before, ‘Je-’ in French means ‘I,’ making ‘I-Zable’ essentially Sable.
From Google: "Tragedy and comedy are fundamental parts of theater. They are the two main dramatic genres that originated in Ancient Greece and continue to serve as core categories for theatrical storytelling."
To me, Sable is Tragedy, TRYKS is Comedy—two fractured halves of a single, hidden soul.

Similarities =/= Two seperate things being one and the same. This frankly is no different from the people who claim that Skull Merchant was supposed to be Predator originally, just because of a few certain aspects between both characters being similar.
- A single cosmetic with a hairbun means nothing, it's a common hair style and it's not even Sable's default hairstyle.
- Hair covering the eye is so completely far-fetched as a evidence that it's just laughable really. I guess anyone who's hair is covering their eye must mean they're someone else also.
- The moon symbol (for a single cosmetic mind you), does not match Tryk's moon symbol, they're have a different round shape from each other.
- Sable's eye color is not the exact same color as Tryks' when comparing in-game, however the eye color proof doesn't even matter since Tryks has two entirely different eye colors.
- Also the names aren't even the same, one is Jezabel while the other is Sable. The names are not anagrams and moving the letter around doesn't create any new meaning to them.
- And again, their facial structures are not the same when comparing. Same way that Skull Merchant and Trickster has facial structures that are similar to one another, but are not entirely the same as each other.
None of your points are concrete proof of anything, it's all nothing more than just pure speculations on your part.

You must be Tryksphobic🤣

Why resist the idea that they have a fractured identity and are essentially one and the same? Beyond aesthetics, no other characters share similar speech patterns - but both use “Seriously” in their voice lines. TRYKS has real potential, and sidelining her would be a wasted opportunity. I understand your perspective, but to me, the evidence points to them being linked. Fans have speculated that Sable and TRYKS are connected, and I think that theory has merit. That said, I also believe she would make a fantastic killer.

People feel powerful with that downvote button, that's actually hilarious, can't for it to get removed

Why resist the idea that they have a fractured identity and are essentially one and the same?
Because it feels incredibly forced and out of left field. Not only that, it also wouldn't fit Tryk's character whatsoever being either a Survivor or a Killer, since she is someone in the lore, who's more powerful than any of the Killers and Survivors combined within the fog. As she's one of the few people in the fog other than The Entity, who has asserted some control over The Entity's realm and has freedom to move seemlessly move around the realm without issue.
Most people who want Tryks as either a Survivor or Killer don't care about the lore aspect. They only want her added back in solely for fan service reason, since she's the quirky Harley Quinn/Tiny Tina character archetype that some people really like.
Beyond aesthetics, no other characters share similar speech patterns - but both use “Seriously” in their voice lines.
Their aesthetics aren't even remotely the same beyond a few similar elements to a cosmetic or two, which doesn't mean anything concrete.
Their speech patterns are also entirely different, as you don't hear Tryks say ''Yum'' or make references to The Wizard of Oz like Sable does. Likewise, you don't hear Sable switch between different tone of voice and way of speaking, like Tryks did back during the twisted masquerade in the trials at times.
Them using the word seriously in a single line or so doesn't hold any real merit to it. Also they're both voiced by two entirely different voice actors.
TRYKS has real potential, and sidelining her would be a wasted opportunity.
I'd rather have her sidelined and remain a lore npc character than have her made into a Killer who gets the Vecna treatment.
I understand your perspective, but to me, the evidence points to them being linked. Fans have speculated that Sable and TRYKS are connected, and I think that theory has merit. That said, I also believe she would make a fantastic killer.
Those fans only speculate so purely out of visual similarities and nothing more, something that's not enough to prove anything concrete.

I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. Even though I don’t see things the same way, and the number of “vote up” doesn’t change my perspective, I genuinely value the conversation - thank you for sharing.
1. “It feels forced and doesn’t fit TRYKS’ role.”
DBD is full of fractured identities - Legion, Twins, even the Dredge. TRYKS being powerful doesn’t rule out pieces of her slipping into the Fog as separate personas like Sable. It actually fits perfectly.2. “It’s just fan service.”
Sure, people love the quirky archetype - but DBD characters often hide darker sides. Like Agatha Harkness in WandaVision, playful and harmless on the surface, yet powerful and cunning beneath. Sable could be TRYKS filtered through the Entity - chaos as a mask for her darker, original self. That’s more than fan service.3. “Their aesthetics aren’t the same.”
Small overlaps are enough. TRYKS and Sable feel like two sides of the same coin - chaotic vs. playful.4. “Their speech is different.”
This actually supports the fractured identity idea. TRYKS shifts tones, Sable leans into quirk, yet shared verbal fingerprints remain:Campfire lines:
- Sable: “A fire. Yum. Bring out the marshmallows.” / “Yeah. Let’s hear a campfire story.”
- TRYKS: “Hiya! Come… warm yourself by the fire.” / “Hello there! Come roast some ears by the fire.”
“Seriously” lines:
- Sable: “Okay. I want to wake up now. Seriously.” / “Seriously I get the feeling something bad is about to happen, yum.”
- TRYKS: “You made it. Bravo. No, seriously. Bravo.” / “What’s the panic about? Seriously.” / “Seriously. This was preventable.” / “Are you laughing or screaming. Seriously. I can’t tell.”
Existential / reflective lines:
- Sable: “I have the feeling I’ve been here before.” / “I just had a déjà vu. I think I know what’s going to happen next.” / “So the moral of the story is… doesn’t matter…”
- TRYKS: “You ever ask yourself what’s it all for?” / “Ever wonder what it all means?” / “Ever wonder why? And who? And how? It’s crazy when you think about it.”
All these patterns - curiosity, reflection, campfire imagery, shared tics like “Seriously,” and moments where TRYKS hints at Sable’s darker, playful side - suggest a real connection. In drama terms, TRYKS is the chaotic, mischievous “comedy,” while Sable is the darker “tragedy,” drawn to horror and danger. Together, they feel like two halves of the same character, split by the Entity.
The Fog makes this even more believable. It can erode memories, distort identities, and create fragments or archetypes, sometimes splitting a person into different aspects to fit the trials. Sable could have entered the Fog and emerged as Je‑Zable/TRYKS - her grounded, dark original self transformed into a chaotic, exaggerated persona. Both could coexist, replaying trials and patterns, a continuous interplay of her two sides.
🎭 Sable walked into the Fog… and Je‑Zable strutted out. Same face. Same stare. One name. 🎭
5. “Different voice actors.”
Multiple voices actually strengthen the fractured identity idea. Legion showed one character can speak with many voices. TRYKS and Sable sounding different doesn’t separate them - it underlines the split.6. “Better as a sidelined NPC.”
TRYKS has too much potential to waste. Unlike Vecna, she’s original, and linking her to Sable could make her one of the most layered characters in the game.7. “It’s just fan speculation.”
Speculation often sparks DBD’s biggest lore discoveries. Overlaps in style, quirks, and voice lines feel more like intentional breadcrumbs than coincidence.identity distortion is common in DBD, so it's entirely believable that sable is the "true" version and Je-Zable/TRYKS is a Fog-amplified manifestation of her traits. The Fog didn't just change her - it split her: comedy became tragedy, chaos became horror, and Sable became Je-Zable/TRYKS.

DBD is full of fractured identities - Legion, Twins, even the Dredge.
None of those characters have ''fractured identities'', what the ######### are you even talking about?
We know nothing about Dredge as a character beyond it being a manifestation of dark thoughts, Twins are two entirely different people & Legion are a group of 4 people who lorewise, are all together in the realm as seen in the Legion comic and from the fact that their Blighted cosmetic are them merging together.
None of them have ''fractured identities''.
Sure, people love the quirky archetype - but DBD characters often hide darker sides. Like Agatha Harkness in Wandavision, playful and harmless on the surface, yet powerful and cunning beneath. Sable could be TRYKS filtered through the Entity - chaos as a mask for her darker, original self. That’s more than fan service.
The difference is that there was build up for Agatha in Wandavision to be that way, nothing in regards to Tryks have given us any indications that she's connected to Sable and your ridiculous theory aren't anything other than pure speculation on your part based on surface level similarities.
Small overlaps are enough. TRYKS and Sable feel like two sides of the same coin - chaotic vs. playful.
No it ain't. You feeling like it's two sides of a coin doens't mean that it is. In fact, it feels more like you're trying to use things that aren't related to each other as proof of something that aren't the case.
This actually supports the fractured identity idea. TRYKS shifts tones, Sable leans into quirk, yet shared verbal fingerprints remain:
Them using the same words in a few voicelines is such a reach to call proof. Also none of the things Sable says is quirky, they're just corny.
All these patterns - curiosity, reflection, campfire imagery, shared tics like “Seriously,” and moments where TRYKS hints at Sable’s darker, playful side - suggest a real connection. In drama terms, TRYKS is the chaotic, mischievous “comedy,” while Sable is the darker “tragedy,” drawn to horror and danger. Together, they feel like two halves of the same character, split by the Entity.

Both could coexist, replaying trials and patterns, a continuous interplay of her two sides.
Still just speculative nonsense on your part and nothing else.
The Fog doesn't erode memories, memories get wiped by The Entity upon resurrection after death during the trials.
There hasn't been any cases in the lore of the fog distorting identities or fragments or archetypes or splitting a person into different aspects or whatever nonsense it is you're spewing.
Sable walked into the Fog… and Je‑Zable strutted out. Same face. Same stare. One name.
Except they, again as i've stated above multiple times now, don't have the same exact ######### face. Their names are also, again as i've stated before, spelled differently and you ignoring those facts and keep changing Jezabel into jezable doesn't support what you're claiming. Their names are not anagrams and just because you treat them as such, doesn't make them so.
Multiple voices actually strengthen the fractured identity idea. Legion showed one character can speak with many voices. TRYKS and Sable sounding different doesn’t separate them - it underlines the split.
Except Legion's voice changes because they're, again, a group of 4 people who you cosmetically switch between in the lobby. Your arguement for Tryks and Sable doesn't hold up and further just cements to me that you're seeing things that aren't there.
TRYKS has too much potential to waste. Unlike Vecna, she’s original, and linking her to Sable could make her one of the most layered characters in the game.
Linking her to Sable is beyond ######### stupid and would take away from what is already established about the character so far in the lore.
Speculation often sparks DBD’s biggest lore discoveries. Overlaps in style, quirks, and voice lines feel more like intentional breadcrumbs than coincidence.
Lore speculations haven't let to any discoveries before, you're speaking nonsense again, and those ''overlaps'' as you call them, aren't breadcrumbs.
identity distortion is common in DBD, so it's entirely believable that sable is the "true" version and Je-Zable/TRYKS is a Fog-amplified manifestation of her traits. The Fog didn't just change her - it split her: comedy became tragedy, chaos became horror, and Sable became Je-Zable/TRYKS.
Identity distortion hasn't happened before with other characters. Sable wasn't changed and we have no lore about Sable that backs that claim up, because she has no lore beyond her base lore.

Oh you will so hate me for this..
“Sable wasn't changed and we have no lore about Sable that backs that claim up, because she has no lore beyond her base lore.“
She does now😌

"None of those characters have ''fractured identities'', what the ######### are you even talking about?"
Oh sure, fractured identities don’t exist in DBD… except for, you know, Legion, who are literally four different teenagers but somehow counted as one killer because the Entity mashed their impulses together. Totally not fractured, right?
And then there’s The Twins - one body, one baby, one brain split across two vessels. But nah, definitely not an identity split.
Oh, and The Dredge? Just a pile of writhing limbs and shifting forms. No identity distortion there at all. Nope. Nothing to see.

- Legion are 4 seperate people in the lore and the Legion comic and their Blight cosmetic confirms this. The only reason that we aren't playing as all of them at once and have to switch between them cosmetically in the lobby is solely because of gameplay.
- Both Twins can move and act on their own, as seen in their lobby animation, their moris, their trailer & their lore. The only reason Charlotte can't move in-game while controlling Victor is solely because of gameplay.
- We have no concrete lore on Dredge as a character, as all we have of it is the last part of it's base lore where it's formed and then disappears.
I've already stated all of this above, which you completely ignored just so you could try and bump your thread.
More speculative nonsense that you treat as factual. Nothing within that AI written post proves anything.
- Your analog arguments doesn't work because there is no story build up for Tryks to be more than what she already is, especially now that the Twisted Masquerade events are over and done with and will be replaced by a new theme next anniversary.
- Sable's friendship with Mikaela feels hollow solely because she didn't exist as a character prior to her chapter's release.
- You spelling Jezabel constantly wrong doesn't change the fact that her name is not an anagram and that changing her name to Jezable doesn't make it into one.
- Nothing within that entire wall of text of your perception of Sable's base lore is concrete evidence that she split into two people, it will always be nothing more than pure speculation on your part, as Sable's base lore ends as she enters the fog to find her friend Mikaela.
- Sable isn't a mastermind and your ''quote'' from her lore that you used in your second point, isn't even what's correctly written in it, as well as the context being entirely different than from what you've written it as. For Sable to be a mastermind, she would have intentionally known that Mikaela would have been taken by The Entity on stage and having known what The Entity even is, which she didn't and her lore makes that crystal clear.
- The shadow in Mikaela's lore is obviously The Entity, as it is who we see across Mikaela's entire base lore that's after her and who takes her in the end on the stage.
- Until something is confirmed in lore by bhvr themselves, everything you've stated is and forever will be pure speculations no matter what, and no amount of pieces that you think lines up will change that.
Frankly, i'm done wasting anymore of my time on you and your AI written looking posts. So i'm simply just gonna put you on ignore now.
Edit: You know what, just for that last little comment of yours, i'm gonna specifically go out of my way to tell bhvr to never bring Tryks back again at every opportunity i get, and i'm gonna do it purely out of spite against you and you personally.
The fact that you're still spelling it as Jezable despite the fact that DBD spells it Jezabel, means you're either illiterate or just rage baiting.

You probably find me annoying, but I truly believe JeZable (as spelled in DBD) is Sable. You’re the mirror illusion - unreasonable yet captivating - and I’m the absurdity that insists on making sense of you.
Love,
Je-Zable <3

I have not read everything but for me she could only work as Killer. Whatever, I think it would be ok if there are some appaerances in future events but not more. Beside that there is no real concept.
Tryks is a manifestion from some of Sable's character sides. Sable wanted to get rid of some traits and bond with dark magic (the Entity). But the Entity took a lot more of her and created Tryks.
