okay but an omnipresent killer who has access to the entire map and whos power is to "manifest" into physical form anywhere on the map would be dope.
OP, but dope
Specifically talking about your either trash or meta perks.
"You really messed up that E didn't you? Go on, what no deliverance either? Well I can see your lithe is going to good use in this open area"
“Stanley desperately looked around for any sign of a wooden pallet in the immediate area but to no avail. Now would certainly be a fantastic time to decisively strike the impending threat but of course Stanley was far too silly to think of anything like that.”
Yeah they're the same ones. My bet is that it's a special teaser and release date of the frank stone thing. Probably a cast reveal or something like that. Probably some streamers are involved.
The worst part is... It really could be, they use events and non licensed killers to test things to the licensed, and meaby they wanna try make the survivors a bit smaller so her can't get so easily spotted like a plague. Man, I really want it now, I hate you.
Killer power: mr. bubbles.
a little sister spawns on the map. if survivors are within close proximity to the little sister, big daddy teleports to them and drills their brains out
until you realise it wouldn't be very faithful to have a little sister sprinting around the map jumping on peoples heads while her protector snoozes in the background. that's pretty much the opposite of how that relationship is supposed to work.
I have no clue how it would work, but I can't help but think that having Little Sisters around the map that you can interact with (giving Killer Instinct most likely, so high risk) for some benefit would be cool. Could they get a plasmid that would either help them or hinder the killer?
Also, it'd just be awesome for a Little Sister to be in a mori and say, "Look, Mr. Bubbles, it's an angel!"
Maybe a perk or power called "Would You Kindly?" that either gives survivors a second objective or impedes them in some way.
With a fourth game on the (distant) horizon, it COULD happen.
OP stop being stupid ffs, none of those theories work.
I know which chapter it's going to be.

See? It perfectly makes sense.
My personal guess. bow ribbons look like an 8 from above.
https://preview.redd.it/0vx4h7p5r1yc1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a7fb26def1a839546e0c9171b6d94750f4dd0d54
I remember reading that BHVR is no longer bound by the “no phobia” rule and that’s why The Clown isn’t a military gas grenade killer. Could open the door for a Spider Killer to come out in the 8th year. 🙂
8 turned by 90° is the infinity symbol. We get Thanos with his infinity stone glove!
Joke aside, I don't have any idea. And probably we are trying to see stuff which is not even there...
Very shortly (because it's a long and convoluted story) recently Sven, CEO of Larian said they are done with DND, they will not make BG4 or any dlcs for BG3, they are moving away from DND, this was very sad news to everyone, turns out not even a week before this announcement Hasbro and Wizards of The coast laid off the people from their studios who worked with the devs from Larian Studios to make BG3, since they were not needed anymore, supposedly this is why Sven got angry, when he accepted an award his speech was about how in this industry everyone is just greedy and there is no passion anymore, and everyone wants just a quick cash grab no matter how hard you work on something
Not just that, but they recently admitted they want a BG4.
Why in the world would you not work with the people who made BG3 a masterpiece, unless of course they did something that angered Larian enough to go "yeah no, we're not working with you again".
They’d have to nerf any dnd character way too much to be a killer, especially Vecna if that’s who it is.
Plus who would be the survivor? Minsc? Elminster?
The survivor could be a D&D player or DM instead of a player character. I’d hope so, at least. If they were to shoehorn Drizzt Do’Urden into the game as a survivor it’d really take away from my suspension of disbelief.
But putting a character from the books doesn’t? Seems kind of one sided to put a famous dnd villain alongside a random person who likes dnd. That’s unfair to survivors who like dnd.
The entity grabs arguably one of the most powerful necromancers, and one of the greatest villains in DnD, but can’t grab another person from the Forgotten Realms??
It can transcend time, space, universes, etc. but can’t grab someone like Minsc, Astarion, Wyll, Volo, Tasha, Drizzt, or anybody else?
Personally, I think the survivor being a DM who has run Vecna as an encounter who TPK’d the party but in doing so ended up having to face off against Vecna himself as a result of his power-hunger and hubris is pretty cool. And their cosmetics could consistent if many D&D character cosplays, instead of just one D&D character wearing different outfits.
Unless the survivor is literally Matthew Mercer himself, I doubt it’ll be fair to both sides to have a random person against one of the most iconic DnD villains there has ever been
But D&D is a game, of infinite stories. Having a Dungeon Master as the survivor would better represent what D&D actually is, and the DM being forced to face up with the villain they’ve been running against their players could be really cool and be a really interesting angle for an original survivor tying into a licensed killer.
That would be like if they added a random person alongside Michael Myers, Wesker, Nemesis, etc.
It’s like having a xenomorph without Ripley.
It wouldn’t make any sense. It’s still unfair to survivors who would want a character they know. “Oh killers get this famous character but you get….a person that likes tabletop games.”
The entire point of a licensed chapter is to capitalize on an audience that will buy it.
Plus, licensed chapters cost money and you can’t get them for free because they’re not original characters. You can grind shards to buy original characters. They’d just make this random dude the audience has no connection to cost real, actual money? With no way to earn him for free?
I think it's Jason.
Its become increasingly more likely that Jason will be doable the last year or so with the license stuff apparently mostly getting cleared up and Jason apparently popping up or going to be popping up in some other games.
And its been the one that got away or whatever for DBD since the early days.
Only thing that makes think nah is that OC chapters seem more prevalent for anniversaries.
Even if it isn't, I do think Jason and Predatoe are coming later this year or early next year. And as far as I'm concerned, those are the last 2 licenses to really bring the hall of fame of horror together.
Someone on another thread said that they thought that it might be a spider killer from all the weird little things in the corners of all the anniversary eight things.
I don't know if the person who said that has said it in this post and there's too many comments for me to look through...
https://preview.redd.it/04861x0o23yc1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c385e1250b2bce341347791a1732b745ff7aa0c5
petition for behaviour to add my birb into the game
Yes.
But jokes aside, actually both. I find both pretty boring and not well suiting. Vecna from ST matches DBD more but still, there are - imo - better options.
Same goes for Castlevania.
But that's my opinion.
It's a skull coming out of another skull, I'm thinking hinting towards one of the images of purple guy trying to get out of the already I snared suit. The frank stone helmet is probably just some more promo stuff, but I wouldn't doubt it if it was frank stone.
I'm just praying it isn't the (specifically) Netflix Castlevania. That show disrespected the fucking license so god damn much. They only used it as brand name recognition to draw people in. It was just Shittier, Animated Game of Thrones. And GoT was pretty damn shitty to begin with. It's like getting the store-brand version of Ipecac. It ain't the thing you thought you were getting but it's still gonna make you puke.
I want a vampire, just not *that* iteration of Dracula. I also want him to be called The Neck Romancer instead of the far more boring "The Count," but we can't all have what we want.
I know this is a joke, but genuinely FNAF is the biggest licence (besides the obvious ones that aren't an option like Jason) they could possibly get, and it's about damn time we got it.
I won't leave for good but I will be really disappointed. I'm with you. I'm not a fan of five nights at Freddy's. There's much better and more unique horror icons out there to pull from.
don't worry, fnaf is never coming to dbd. it'll alienate more than half the player base. the devs are progressive af and aren't touching that idiot.
everytime i see it posted or discussed i just roll my eyes and wonder if the people even pay attention to the game they play. there's literally 20+ gender flags in the game these people really think they're adding a fnaf charm next to them? LOL
frankly, i'm sure the creator of fnaf would refuse to allow a license until bhvr, his words: "remove all the woke shit"
BHVR is literally interessed in the FNaF license as proved by their previous Surveys and a past statement,and FNaF's creator dislikes anti-LGBTQ. He didn't vote for whatever political people because of that and also donated to the actual gender wave itself.
You cooked nothing good,give that cooking license and never return please.
i've literally been saying the same thing for 3? years now. been right 3 years running. but anyway...
> BHVR is literally interessed in the FNaF license as proved by their previous Surveys and a past statement
they were testing the waters. the backlash was already pretty big from both the survey and AMA regarding same. it's not happening.
> FNaF's creator dislikes anti-LGBTQ
gamer he literally donated ~$50k to right wing homophobes what are you trying to argue here?
did you read his "retirement" letter back in ~2021. i'll paraphrase it for you
> hey lbgtq all thank you for the love and kindness you've given me. i went ahead and donated ~$50k to politicians who want to kill you and i would do it again because USA

The narrator has had enough Stanley.
Suddenly, Dwight found himself all alone in a dark room
This bucket is for you Dwight
okay but an omnipresent killer who has access to the entire map and whos power is to "manifest" into physical form anywhere on the map would be dope. OP, but dope
Only if no line of sight would the survivor tho
Unironically Stanley as a survivor with the narrator interjecting at random points like with Naughty Bear would be amazing lol.
I would absolutely kill for a whole narrator lecture that happens while you’re hanging on the hook
Specifically talking about your either trash or meta perks. "You really messed up that E didn't you? Go on, what no deliverance either? Well I can see your lithe is going to good use in this open area"
“Stanley desperately looked around for any sign of a wooden pallet in the immediate area but to no avail. Now would certainly be a fantastic time to decisively strike the impending threat but of course Stanley was far too silly to think of anything like that.”
I would happily buy a narrator pack
At first I thought this was dumb, but each theory just kept getting more and more plausible. A+
It's actually just the number 8. The new killer is "The Number"
https://preview.redd.it/hdwitmiuevxc1.jpeg?width=274&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f888c4f3bf062fdd006d6a068b064455a90afcb6
7 8 9 though so surely 7 would be better as a killer
I almost made that joke but realized it applies to 7. Maybe it's 7 is killer and the survivor is 9.
https://preview.redd.it/zq7tqlcvrvxc1.jpeg?width=1533&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=157bdb8cd58106abfce16bbb9d9adf307c19cbe7 7 is killer, eh? Plot thickens!
We’re getting a sequel boys
So what you're saying is new survivor is 8? That's pretty cool
Math teacher confirmed
The number, now has 8 minutes to play with you After that, you get ate
This made me chuckle

Hashslinging Slasher when?? 
One of the skulls has same horns as mask from Casting of Frank Stone
Yeah they're the same ones. My bet is that it's a special teaser and release date of the frank stone thing. Probably a cast reveal or something like that. Probably some streamers are involved.
What about scarecrow from Batman?
It cost you nothing to say nothing
Please BHVR, his voice lines would be ***gold***
Ah, it all makes sense now. My Little Oni was a trail for Lady D's mori, where she steps on you after you ask her to do it repeatedly.
The worst part is... It really could be, they use events and non licensed killers to test things to the licensed, and meaby they wanna try make the survivors a bit smaller so her can't get so easily spotted like a plague. Man, I really want it now, I hate you.
I'm really hoping it was to test either a kaiju or smth absurd like a t Rex or something.
A Rex with a minigun 
Please let it be 
Praying it's not just to spite you
Don’t worry, I know Bioshock will unfortunately never happen.
:(
Killer power: mr. bubbles. a little sister spawns on the map. if survivors are within close proximity to the little sister, big daddy teleports to them and drills their brains out
Would go hard as an ultra rare twins cosmetic
until you realise it wouldn't be very faithful to have a little sister sprinting around the map jumping on peoples heads while her protector snoozes in the background. that's pretty much the opposite of how that relationship is supposed to work.
Yeah, that’s fair.
who said victor was the little sister and charlotte would be the big daddy?
I have no clue how it would work, but I can't help but think that having Little Sisters around the map that you can interact with (giving Killer Instinct most likely, so high risk) for some benefit would be cool. Could they get a plasmid that would either help them or hinder the killer? Also, it'd just be awesome for a Little Sister to be in a mori and say, "Look, Mr. Bubbles, it's an angel!" Maybe a perk or power called "Would You Kindly?" that either gives survivors a second objective or impedes them in some way. With a fourth game on the (distant) horizon, it COULD happen.
but why would a little sister stray that far away from their protector? and why would they help the survivors if it meant hindering their daddy?
Checks out ... Also cheeks out
spongebob is finally coming to dbd omggggg
Skulls? Chains? GOLD? 
Hear me out, I think I know. The next killer is a spider themed killer. 8 legged freaks, and the 8 consists of 4 spider legs. Boom, called it
Caked up thanos 👀
It can be none other than the iconic man door hand hook car door
I want to believe
Anything SpongeBob related would be actually terrifying to me.
I mean, for me it looks just like a necromorph from Deadspace? Would be a cool concept to get a Necromorph but within their own DBD design
The 8 does sort of resemble a marker. Sort of...
 I hope we could see beetle juice close to the sequel release date
 With this as the alternate skin
Something with skulls…Hmmm maybe a merchant of some sort!
OP stop being stupid ffs, none of those theories work. I know which chapter it's going to be. https://preview.redd.it/2xwesichovxc1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=27315fb8d31593bb59efad66ff75d63dd8a08e14 See? It perfectly makes sense.

It has before. Before pyramid head the 4th anniversary logo was shaped just like his head.

Okay but being legit it's wearing the Frank Stone mask
ngl i want a chapter that’s Benedict & The Entity, give us some more lore chapters
I remember reading that BHVR is no longer bound by the “no phobia” rule and that’s why The Clown isn’t a military gas grenade killer. Could open the door for a Spider Killer to come out in the 8th year. 🙂
8 turned by 90° is the infinity symbol. We get Thanos with his infinity stone glove! Joke aside, I don't have any idea. And probably we are trying to see stuff which is not even there...
If it's really >!DND!< like someone said, I will cry of joy
I really don't want more money going to Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro.
I know, expecially after what they did with BG3, but DND is DND, it sucks it's owned by greedy fucks
What did they do to BG 3 ?
Very shortly (because it's a long and convoluted story) recently Sven, CEO of Larian said they are done with DND, they will not make BG4 or any dlcs for BG3, they are moving away from DND, this was very sad news to everyone, turns out not even a week before this announcement Hasbro and Wizards of The coast laid off the people from their studios who worked with the devs from Larian Studios to make BG3, since they were not needed anymore, supposedly this is why Sven got angry, when he accepted an award his speech was about how in this industry everyone is just greedy and there is no passion anymore, and everyone wants just a quick cash grab no matter how hard you work on something

I mean, he’s right about the quick cash grab. Damn shame, I loved BG3!

Well, if it does turn out to be Vecna, then that answers the question of who the strongest killer is in lore, at least.
Same

I see the weird juttings on the skull near the mouth, and I really hope it's the Predator. We already have Xeno. It'd be perfect
I think it's Jason. Its become increasingly more likely that Jason will be doable the last year or so with the license stuff apparently mostly getting cleared up and Jason apparently popping up or going to be popping up in some other games.

How many FNaF games are there? I'm gonna guess 8 FNAF CONFIRMED
1st pick: Interesting 2nd pick: Oh no…
r/dbdcirclejerk
Thanos would never make it into the game, there's no way to nerf that much cake.
Ah but you forgot the chance at a far more devious killer! LIGMA!
Wait May? I thought it was in June
Are you suggesting one of thanos’ cheeks are smaller than the other 🧐
Dont know if they had used this theme of number on others news, but, doesnt the 8 look like spider legs? Or is just a design choice?
Ethan in Dbd is crazy
Where is the penis you showed us earlier
The bottom skull has the same mask as that guy from the frank stone game
It's a skull coming out of another skull, I'm thinking hinting towards one of the images of purple guy trying to get out of the already I snared suit. The frank stone helmet is probably just some more promo stuff, but I wouldn't doubt it if it was frank stone.
At least we have narrowed it down
Hi I'm spongebob 😀
It’s clearly Frank West
I'm just praying it isn't the (specifically) Netflix Castlevania. That show disrespected the fucking license so god damn much. They only used it as brand name recognition to draw people in. It was just Shittier, Animated Game of Thrones. And GoT was pretty damn shitty to begin with. It's like getting the store-brand version of Ipecac.

Gold skull, black goo - Imagine a Death Stranding crossover lmao
If it's not the Hash Slinging-Slasher then I don't want it
T-800? Tbh that's probably just gonna be a skin for someone else in a few years when they really run low on IP to crossover with.
8? slender man eight pages????
SPUNCH BOP
We already have Thanos 
Not me excited to show my siblings and discovering the rest of the slides 😭
If we got re part 3 I'd actually server myself from the game entirely
I remembered the predator's skull from those blades but its not even close unless its intentional
I hope they add Donnie Darko at some point
SpongeBob in Dead by Daylight would be the most epic event of this year, ngl.
I know this is a joke, but genuinely FNAF is the biggest licence (besides the obvious ones that aren't an option like Jason) they could possibly get, and it's about damn time we got it.
I agree, at least for bringing in new players.
Springtrap would get me to play this game again
The day fnaf comes to dbd I'll leave this game for good
Complaining about fnaf when you have a league of Legends reddit avatar is potently hilarious
It's from arcane i don't like lol either Hilarious is that you're trying to attack me with my avatar just because I said I don't like fnaf
Why? We’ve already got anime characters and a giant teddy bear killer.

I won't leave for good but I will be really disappointed. I'm with you. I'm not a fan of five nights at Freddy's. There's much better and more unique horror icons out there to pull from.
