Cmon first the rework now this BHVR really hates Billy
Poor billy the only one of the OG 3 not to get into the new art. BHVR really just out to get him 😔

Yet they add the blair witch copycat? My guess is Billy just has ######### all players so they didn't want to put on of the least popular killers in the main artworker.

Man, remember when BHVR forgot that Wraith existed?
Good times.

Then they should not put Hag in either.

Probably didnt want loads of male characters, plus his silhouette is quite an odd shape and could look abit odd to people who arent aware of him.
All other silhouettes are quite interesting, huntress, hag and even nurse while billy only really has the chainsaw to draw the eye.
Plus billy is dead... RIP

How BHVR hates Billy if every Rift he has an outfit? I always question why since no one plays him

I would say that Hag has a higher player count than Billy on all platforms and probably espeically on consoles since she is also free like Billy and has great teachables that everyone says you should level her up for. I do agree that Hag is a bit of a weird choice though Doc would be better imo if they really don't wanna give justice for Billy.

Either way its either 3:2 or 2:3 one of thems gotta have the majority I really doubt that was deciding factor. Boring silhouette could be the reason but if he had been in the place of say hag the lighting would have shown his skin texture just like it does with hag.

I've faced loads this week. All of them wearing the sailor cosmetic lol.

So are we just going to ignore the flying Jake?
1 -
Billy's Ice Capped Jean's are the best cosmetic in the game

My first thought was where is Billy? Poor Billy. 😔

Or Meg who seems to be in her 40's in that picture...

That's not the first impression that I would get if I saw Hillbilly on there.

True, but billy has a deep face... hes camera shy lol.
I feel it just creates a better image with the ones they selected, is a shame hes not there but I do get he looks odd lol. I'm just glad wraith is there

He is just vaulting the rock. Havent you played the new patch? Everything can be vaulted.

Trapper is front and center.

He was probably deemed to have a less interesting silhouette, which I'd agree with. Trapper's the same way, but you really can't get away with not including him, he was the face of the game for years and was The Killer when it released. Better to pick killers with more varied/interesting silhouettes for the others, to compensate for Trapper's being a little generic.

There is no conspiracy theory behind this at all, the game has grown since that first initial keyart which we've had for years now and we wanted to do a wide representation whilst still showcasing our origins - hence the 4 original survivors.
We can't fit all characters on the keyart - we have a lot of characters right now, and some are always going to be left out. The Keyart depicts the orgins and growth of the game.

I just question his decision making.
"I could just continue running, or I could do a cool vault on the rock for no reason and probably lose some distance!"
*vaults
"worth it!"

So… why are you questioning that? Totally worth it!

I'm Japanese and I've often heard people in Japan wondering why there is no hillbilly. It's sad that only Billy was omitted, even though he has been around since the implementation of the game😥 I think his chainsaw looks great on screen🙄

Not really seeing the "growth" aspect when it pretty much only shows year-one killers.

Billy's face looks too silly to be in the the picture, put him in after they rework his face like they did Trapper.
(I believe Wraith's face is silly too, but it doesnt look bad they way they did it in this visual)

People will literally complain about anything

They're showing the origins of the game, which also shows how much the game has grown since the beginning when there were only a handful of survivors and killers.

The Entity isn't in the picture so I guess Bhvr hates the Entity.
There's only one map realm featured so I guess behavior hates all the other ones.
Hag, Nurse and Huntress are in it but Feng, David and Ace aren't so I guess the devs hate them.
1 -
LOL! I never thought about the Hag being a Blair Witch copycat, since you never see the Blair Witch. I guess she is since she does a symbol similar to the Blair Witch sticks.
They should add shaky cams to survivors when they're running from the Hag.

Same here, I like the milkman outfit. It makes him look kind of innocent. 🙂 (Although I’m sure there’s also vintage “adult films” about milkmen making special deliveries to lonely housewives so who knows where he actually got it? 🤷♂️)

she's a mix of a witch and a wendigo

On their latest pickrate/killrate stats, Hag is actually in the bottom 3 for pickrate at 2.16%, I believe.
Billy is way higher, with a pretty decent 3.49%.
So it's really just the devs hating Billy.

Hag probably fit the art symmetry more than Billy.
0 -
If Hag has now a higher player count than Billy, it's quite sad for him. Hag used to be the least played killer before the Twins came out.

They have to give the hackers their spotlight too

Ironically, the Trapper featured in the new visual is the old Trapper and not the redesigned one.
0 -
There's also the fact that Hillbilly doesn't get any cosmetics in the Rockabilly collection.
We're missing out on a Greaser Billy m1ing people with a guitar!

I think the hillbilly's chainsaw looks pretty good on screen. Whatever it is, I'm sad he's not in this group.

Billy is the most fun killer out of the OG ones,I wish they didn't butchered him with the heating mechanic and just get rid of his insta saw,it was that easy.
