What is the chance that survivors would actually face the same killer more than once?

We see hear of multiple unseen killers in the lore.

A fluffle of bunnies

a giant multihead machine monster

a village lady who feeds men to pigs.

giant spiders ect.

and multiple survivors mentioned in the lore and flavor text

Wouldnt every trial be something different? there must be thousands of survivors and killers and maps in the actual trials.

the entity has taken whole worlds of people! (We see this in frank stone)

Maybe the lyra twins never saw each other again after entering the fog

    Realistically, pretty small if we consider the point you mentioned with there canonically being thousands of killers in the Entity's realm.

    However, there is one good example of survivors encountering the same killer again. Dwight, Claudette, and Meg all have faced against the Trapper at least twice.

    1. In the new trailer that starts with Claudette and Jake walking together towards a generator, they encounter the Trapper.
    2. In the Nicolas Cage trailer, we see Dwight, Claudette, and Meg all against the Trapper once more. However, instead of Jake being on their team, it's Cage.

    There's a bunch of unseen killers mentioned in the lore like the ones you mentioned. Only time will tell if they will ever be playable killers in the future.

    it depends if they are just thrown in random trials or if they are selected.

    I could see the Entity putting a survivor with arachnophobia against a spider Killer multiple times. Also putting people that know each other (either liking/loving like the Lyra twins or even hating/averse like Elodie and Felix) for additional emotions to feed upon. Also Killer-Survivor pairings like Lee Yun-Jin and Trickster, or Oni and his father.

    Also maybe setting up a survivor multiple times so they expect them again to then break the pattern.


    All depending on how much emotion to leach without draining the last hope too quickly.

    Based on voicelines on both sides, we can assume most Survivors and Killers that are paired with each other sorta orbit each others Trials for the extra drama/emotion that the Entity can feast on.
