Chapter 9 Predictions?

    It's quite early to say which direction they are going with the upcoming chapter. No hints yet. We can''t even say if it will be licenced or not. On the other hand the fall killer will be released before Halloween and it's sale. So it might be better from a marketing perspective, if the newest killer will be a known licence by then.
    Alternatively, what I would love to see to either go into japanese horror setting for the next chapter or do their own take on a public domain like the Legend of the Sleepy Hollow e.g.

    New killer will be a doppelganger type thing.

    When a survivor is hanging on the hook he takes the form of one other random survivor until that person is unhooked.

    Maybe there will be some small clue that he is not a real person – like a slightly distorted face or something.

    The great thing about this is that every game where someone is hooked and you haven’t seen who the killer is you have to consider that any survivor you meet could be the doppelganger!*

    Generic killers ofcourse, because they want to sell Auric sells. They can only get new cosmetics for their own killers. They put ######### micro transactions OVER dedicated servers. They want money!

    I wanna Ghostface (Licensed killer) and survivor (Sidney Prescott) I would like this killer has small terror radius to scare survivors.

    I think most people would prefer Cici Cooper, because Sarah Michelle Gellar is bae.

    The company that made ghost face is in bankruptcy.

    I really think Ghostface from scream would be very interesting.

    A stealth killer that ignores vaulting and pallets at a cost.

    I don't know. He's sneaky, so maybe make him interfere with people's perks and stuff? He would have a sprint burst option as his power, and when he does it there's no terror radium? BUt he's got a cooldown of X time?

    I don't know. Just thinking outloud.

    I predict a killer having to do with school or a teacher because I found a random picture of a power icon of a ruler and a new perk icon with a donce hat in my dbd files I havent seen before 0.0

    Really? That would be kinda creepy, like a half dead teacher or something. Got any screenshots? Post lets see

    I'm surprised I've not seen anyone suggest this but that movie Cherry Falls. We could totally have that cross dresser guy as a killer. It would fit the teacher theory cuz technically he taught at that school.

    No more licensed killers please 😞 the team are masters at designing and creating their own original killers
    Idk it seems like every other original killer has a very simple and boring kit. I mean can you honestly say that Clown is fun to play as?

    Im on the fence for both honestly. 

    1. Id love for it to be Jason Vorhees aka The Slasher. Especially now with friday basically dead, the door is wide open to pull in those fans. Not to mention the devs said Jason is not off limits, so next licensed killer i predict The Slasher. 

    2. As far as original killer goes, id love a vampire who can tele like nurse or a werewolf who can sprint on all 4s(like billy chainsaw sprint). I think that will bring 2 popular beings as far as myth goes and the gameplay will bring a remix of Nurse and Billy.

    3. Survivor? Honestly...id love a dev pack of survivors . Maybe a raffle among those who stream, and a raffle amongst those behind the scenes who dont get as much limelight. The 2 chosen from each raffle respectively come in a "duo dev survivor pack". Think about it, all the bbws or heavier set players who would love to play as a not_queen, or a cool guy like Stefan Horvath with the lamb chops. Seein as how Dwight looks like Mclean and Cote made an offspring, id like an official dev pack. Id play as Horvath no doubt lol he would be like a remix of Ace swag wise.
    Jason is off limits lol the lawsuit affects every game!

    After the lawsuit announcement on twitter someone asked, and devs said themselves he isnt off limits. They might wait a bit but if friday still lets you play as jason and the only issue is releasing new content (skins etc) that wouldnt be a prob for dbd. None of the licensed killers have skins anyway. Hell make Pamela Vorhees the killer ala The Mother, that would be very unexpected.

    Id like Nosferatu.  He's very iconic. Maybe Wolfman, Frankenstein, or a Scarecrow killer

    I don't really like licensed killers. Their originals are so much better

    Really? I LOVE licensed killers! It seems to make the game have a sense of realism for some odd reason. If it is licensed I hope its Jason. A close second might be Ghostface or Springtrap.

    It wont happen but I think Buffalo Bill would be awesome.  Just perks called "It puts the lotion on its skin" and "Would you f*** me?  I'd f*** me" would be worth my 7 bucks for the DLC, even if the perks were garbage tier.

    Anyone wanna have a guess on what chapter 9 will be like?
    Licensed or Generic killer?
    Good or Bad killer?
    Good survivor perks or survivor perks equivalent to surveillance?

    Based off the leaked cosmetics for some of the survivors I am going to guess that the next killer is a teacher. And especially since August & September are back to school months. Which is when we shall expect the new killer.

    I would love killer that doesn't see survivors normally and to balance it he moves faster and maybe one shot or something like that.

    Probably just another killer that puts in even more band-aid in an attempt fix a broken game. Prone to receive the Freddy treatment after launch because survivors cry floods and review bomb the game. It's always the same.

    I would say

    OG killer, male
    Worse than Clown, comes with mediocre perks
    Good survivor perks

    I wanna see a killer that can throw a hook at you and pull you to him for a hit. Additionally we need more hex perks and obsession based perks so hopefully we will get some! :)
    ######### that no more hex perks till the devs learn to fix them first

    Perk Name: Last Hope

    Gain 1 extra life state (Totaling 3 hits to be downed) at the cost of being sacrificed (and giving the killer full Sac points equivalent to 1 survivor being hooked 3 times) on first hook.
    Run speed increased 2/3/4%
    Healing/Recovery Speed reduced by 5/10/15%
    Wiggle Increased by 10/20/30%
