YEAR 4 ROADMAP
I couldn't find the roadmap on this forum so I figured I'd post it. Is chapter 13 coming in August? 🤔
Comments
-
Telling by popular demands it has to be a non-OC chapter. Plus I hope they release dedicated service before my year start...
2 -
I think it will be revealed to us towards end of August (PTB) and then LIVE in September.
10 -
It might be August tell by how all the chapters are either long dates meaning the killer and survivor is very unique and most take some time or it's a solo but telling by a new map meaning it's a all by together chapter. Meaning its gonna take up to three or four months to finish but they'll release a trailer for the chapter to come after all all chapters must be unique

Anyone noticed chapter 14 wont have a map?
6 -
I'm so looking forward for the archive/rift.
2 -
Could be a licensed character(s) with no map. Stranger things perhaps? :P
5 -
Chapters are usually release on the start of the season (spring, summer...) except when only a killer or survivor is released. So chapter 13 killer/survivor/map will be new, release date on September when dedicated server are working with minor bugs/problems, then release the archive before halloween and on halloween release (most surely thing) stranger things chapter.
2 -
I’d expect the live version on September 10th or 17th.
2 -
The PTB will probably be at the end of the August and the live version will be at the start of September.
2 -
I'm actually more excited for the archives then the chapter... .and the servers, god I hope they come out good!!

Hello, I was wondering if I could please ask you a question not sure if it's off-topic or not. What's a rough estimate on the new Underwater Trapper cosmetic's release date?
0 -
top priority right now for the -DEV team would be fix the group matchmaking exploit that allow low rank people(often smurf) to invite high rank friends and get ALWAYS a low rank killer as opponent..game right now is unplayable i spent a good ammount money for buy all bundles and some skins and i cant play right now due to be matched against red rank people exploiting your game.( the exploit is so popular now if you are rank 13-20 you always get red name people survivor opponents)

Is Chapter 13 just a map? I know that we might not get a new survivor but we are at least getting a killer right?
After all, we did get no map and no survivor for Chapter 12.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind if they stopped releasing survivors only to release killers and maps. I mean, we have enough survivors in a wide variety. Adding a new survivor with new perks would mean more grinding.
0 -
Then killer queues would be never ending. I absolutely want more survivors and perks for them. They can reduce the grind in other ways.
Also I don't understand why people keep forgetting that Ash was released on his own like a month before Ghostface. So a survivor with GF wasn't really necessary.
0 -
I would release perks or renew perks and get rid of perks that no one uses.

Oh God not another paragraph
0 -
Not necessarily. It's just because of a map rework. Every other chapter this year has a map, and every other mid-chapter comes with a rework.
Chapter 12: No map.
Chapter 12.5: Map rework (Springwood).
Chapter 13: Map.
Chapter 13.5: No map.
Chapter 14: No map.
Chapter 14.5: Map rework.
Chapter 15: Map.

next chapter should be around mid september. probably the 13th
0 -
Me too:D
1 -
I hope
Just please don't release another paragraph instead of a chapter, it will screw up matchmaking like when GF got released
0 -
matchmaking is alreayd embarrassing probably worse matchmaking system in a online game ever in the history :) three rank1 survivors+one rank 20 survivor vs rank 20 killer is the current meta gaming in dbd :).IF you are playing solo survivor and you are rank 16-17 you are matched against a rank 1-2 killer cause all low tier killers are busy in games with rank exploiter survivors.
0 -
That's...not what I meant
Those problems have been there since launch
What I meant were the extremely long queue waiting times
0 -
it all depend from the matchmaking system that is currently horrible...making dedicated servers maybe would make the game more stable ,right now the algorhitm is wrong doesnt considerate the rank at all...its as if in league of legends you are a diamond player and you are matched costantly against bronze player its obvious the diamond dude will destroy every bronze ...and the bronze will quit the game...now 1% players is diamond the 99% is bronze...guess who bring money to the company?-This company is doing harakiri totally by not fixing a simple matchmaking for make happy them real customers that are not nerd rank 1-2 playing all the day but casual players.A casual player killer or solo survivor getting matched constantly with opponents 19 tiers highers quit the game.Its not the waiting time..that isnt so long as killer maybe 3-4 minutes on steam..problem is whole matchmaking .Fixing huge exploits and fail mechanics must be the main big priority for every company...minor graphic glitches can to wait but noob players getting matched with top 0.5% players in game on everygame must be the main priority .

Probably the PTB week of 20. Since the PTB lasts 1-2 weeks, and then internally the devs make adjustments.
0 -
Please stop posting this in other threads where it's not concerned and stop assuming something as exploit when it works as it did 3 years ago, but I remind you, the matchmaking is broken even for single survivors. I'm rank 8 and I play with rank 16 people and more than one killer assumed I was swf without cheking it, just because they didn't killed anyone

@Yamaoka Most likely in Sep, either on the 18th or sometime that week.
(Reason why i say the 18th is because GF was released on Jun 18 so 3months from then is Sep 18th)
Since the devs release content within 3 month increments

@ItsYourBoyGuzma 2 part post/response
Part 1: Date
17th would make sense.
We have 7 weeks worth of cosmetics/weekly content in 3.1.0 plus they don't update on Wednesday always Tuesday.
This Wednesday starts the 7 weeks 6 are new cosmetic drops 1 is a sale.
Ends the week before the 17th so that would be a perfect time.
Part 2: Rollout
I'm willing to bet we get a major reveal or teaser at gamescom. Bhvr confirmed they'll be at gamescom August 20th to 24th.
29th could be a full gameplay showcase like Plague Ghostface got. PTB 3rd. 2 weeks later release.
I'm very confident that it'll be something like this. I could see Switch port being at the event as well with the teaser. Server dates/rollout will be mentioned also.
1 -
True but most of the release dates of every chapter is a proximity of 5-4 months or 3-4 months. Sometimes longer telling by how complicated bugs, glitches and exploits tend to sneak in every chapter.
And telling how the pattern is it's always near a new season of the year or mid season
0 -
That's what I've been thinking, namely, late August and early September.
1 -
the ptb should be either late August or early September. Then the New chapter should release either mid to late september. A new chapter releases every 3 months
1 -
We should be seeing a teaser in the next couple of weeks or so.
1 -
wonder if the new chapter every 3 months will continue with the fifth year now?
0 -
Another ancient necro?

Dude at this time chapter 15 is coming out :D
