Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Would it be possible for Elvira to be a stand alone survivor?!

If Ash could be in the game, why not the Mistress of the Dark herself! Be perfect around Halloween time!

    A lot of that has to do with the deals they're able to make.

    She could have a perk called "Weapons of Mass Distraction."

    While I'd love playing as her, I think her hair might break the game.

    Well, hair regardless has always been iffy in the game, but what would weapons of mass distraction do?

    Unlikely. They probably paid a premium for Ash in extra royalties because they used the likeness of the actor (Bruce Campbell). From a business standpoint, I don't think they would view Elvira as being mainstream/popular enough to be worth paying out those extra royalties. Wasn't her heyday in the late '80's and early '90's?

    Not enough return on investment for BHVR.

    Funnily enough, an Elvira comic book launched just last year. The license can't be THAT expensive.

    Well, the devs did say they were working with the hair engine... Elvira's would be pretty amazing lol Tallest survivor?

    Elvira would be a good survivor for a bunch of reasons, as a horror hostess with a line of comics, novels, art, and at least one good movie there's lots of creative material to draw from. The decades of variations on her look and merch would be great source material for customizations and charms. She also has a pretty recognizable set of jokes, catch phrases, and lore that could be worked into the audio and perks.

    She would probably be a less expensive IP too, since Cassandra Peterson (who portrays Elvira) own's the IP independently.

    There are three different Elvira pinball machines released in 1989, 1996, and 2019 which are very popular with pinball fans so the license prolly isn't very expensive and she recorded a lot of original voice lines for those machines
