WMG / Dead by Daylight

Future Survivors/Killers

Original characters

• An Ancient Roman Gladiator that can throw flaming spears and summon some sort of hellish chariot as a killer.
• An Aswang, a Filipino folklore monster that drinks blood and eats hearts, as a killer.
• A Slenderman Expy as a killer.
• Frankenstein's Monster. In addition to being in the Public Domain and thus not needing to be licensed (although they would be unable to copy the exact design that Boris Karloff made famous), the Frankenstein Monster more than perhaps any other "classic" horror character most fits with the more slasher-style killers of DBD, and would add a more "pure brute" character that uses no weapons at all.
  • With Victor Frankenstein as a survivor.
• A corrupt prison guard as a killer.
  • With a reformed ex-convict as a survivor.
• A notorious convict as a killer.
  • With a heroic prison guard as a survior.
• A vampire. Bonus it if comes with a Haunted Castle stage.
  • Or, how about one original character that is a vampire as one of the killers, plus Count Dracula himself, as another one of the killers (since Dracula is Public Domain)?
    • Only in the United States. Everywhere else (as far as I know), Stoker's estate still retains copyright. Meaning if they want to release it anywhere outside the States, they'd have to pay to do so.
    • I see. In that case, I suppose Dracula can be a DLC character exclusive to United States copies of Dead By Daylight.
    • There’s only one way of region-unlocking (and solving) this Dracula conundrum: we make the Survivor for Dracula none other than Simon Belmont.
    • That actually makes sense, since Castlevania fits the horror theme. Also, Simon Belmont can be part of my hypothetical "Saviors" category as well, his whip being his weapon and his perks being power-ups from the games.
  • With the added bonus of Johnathan Harker and Van Helsing as survivors.
• The Director: A man who produced snuff films that carries a video camera everywhere he goes to record his murders and upload them to the dark web.
  • The survivor would be an up and coming actor/actress who mysteriously vanished from the set of their first role in a horror movie. Said movie set could also be the new arena.
• A zombified deputy as a Killer.
  • The backstory being that he was investigating a wave of cannibalistic killings in a small town, realizing too late that the cannibals were actually zombies and he became a zombie that is almost as smart as he was when he was alive.
  • And his power is that he can turn survivors into zombies via bites or scratches.
  • His weapon of choice would be his revolver.
  • The small town that he used to protect when he was alive can be a realm, of course.
  • The sheriff who survived the zombie outbreak can be the survivor.
• A J-Pop singer as a killer, with his weapon being a katana and his power being a magical Japanese song that summons a demon.
  • A former fan of that singer as a survivor.
• A Pirate who sailed the seas during the colonial era whose lust for gold drove him mad. He slaughtered innocents without remorse in his pursuit of riches, even butchering his own crew when they questioned him or his methods. They mutinied and marooned him on a remote island where he'd have no hope of escape, save for being recruited by The Entity. Both his obsession with gold and mastery of the seas could factor into his playstyle. His weapon would be a cutlass, of course. He might use whirlpools or anchors to inhibit survivor mobility and the survivors could find gold coins that would give certain benefits the drawback of being revealed to The Pirate. His realm could be an Island of Mystery or abandoned harbour town that looks like it was hit with a tsunami.
  • A more mentally-stable pirate (possibly a former crewmate) or a member of the British Navy as a survivor.
• A Shell-Shocked Veteran who, traumatized by what he experienced in Vietnam, never truly left the war mentally. He grew up poverty-stricken in Chicago and enlisted in the hopes that it would give him some purpose in life. It did, and he made a close group of friends while deployed. Unfortunately, that was all taken from him by the Viet Cong. Enraged, he went on a killing spree, massacring everyone he could find. Combatants, innocents, men, women, children, to him they were all responsible. He was court-martialed and due to be executed for his crimes, but he killed his guards and escaped, vanishing into the jungles never to be seen again. The Entity found him and gave him his own realm of a desolate jungle village. It feeds into his delusions by making him see every survivor as a member of the Viet Cong, prompting his drive to kill each and every one of them. His primary weapon is a combat knife, a standard issue for U.S. soldiers. He can go prone, severely limiting his movement speed but rendering him almost undetectable, which he can use to his advantage with a surprise getup attack. His other ability allows him to set remote explosives that can put a survivor in a dying state instantly at point-blank. He can only carry 1 explosive at a time and he needs to reload at closets much like the Huntress.
  • Another Shell-Shocked Veteran as a survivor. Perhaps even the other surviving member of the Soldier's squad.
• A Badass Preacher survivor.
  • With a Sinister Minister or evil nun as a killer. Christianity has some beliefs that through physical suffering and pain, one can achieve a closer bond to God. It wouldn't be hard to imagine a priest covered in scars, nails poking out of his skin, a mask that causes him pain just to move, barbed wire around his limbs so even moving is agonizing. He has a severe decrease in speed but some sort of extremely powerful ability.
• A heroic nun as a survivor.
• A heroic angel who's powers were weakened by the Entity as a survivor.
• A televangelist who's also an exorcist as a survivor.
• A Catholic exorcist as a survivor.
• A pastor of a non-denominational church who is also an Iraq war veteran as a survivor.
• A Catholic pastor who is also a Vietnam war veteran as a survivor.
• An 18-19 year old or early 20's choir boy as a survivor.
  • With a demon as a killer.
• A ruthless, violent jewel thief as a killer.
  • A Gentleman Thief or Classy Cat-Burglar as a survivor.
• A cult that worships the killers as killers.
• A cult that worships The Entity as killers.
• A Corrupt Politician as a killer.
  • With, ironically, a former supporter of said politician as a survivor.
• A killer American cop as a Killer. His or her power could involve their police firearm, and his or her weapon would be an electric baton modified to produce very lethal shocks as opposed to less lethal. His or her By-the-Book Cop former companion would be a Survivor.
• A corrupt RCMP officer as a killer. His power could be a hunting rifle that can curve bullets that he stole from a scientist he murdered. His weapon would be a baton with spikes on it.
  • With a heroic RCMP officer as a survivor.
• A Bad Santa or The Krampus as a Killer.
  • With a teenage kid who happens to celebrate Christmas as a survivor.
• A deranged Man in Black as a Killer.
  • With a heroic alien (can be of any design so long as it's at least a bit humanoid and NOT OP) as a survivor.
• An evil alien (ditto referring to the above heroic alien) as a killer.
  • With a heroic FBI agent as a survivor.
• A pair of Roswell aliens as a duo of killers.
  • With a heroic Man in Black as a survivor.
• A pair of Reptilian aliens as a duo of killers.
  • With a private detective who specializes in paranormal activity as a survivor.
• A Confederate soldier as a killer. And he'll be one of the scariest killers in the game.
  • With a Union soldier as a survivor.
• A non-powered supervillain as a killer.
  • With a non-powered superhero as a survivor.
• Fredderick George Abberline as a Survivor, and Jack the Ripper as a Killer.
  • With Victorian London as a Realm.
• A clown survivor, to serve as another good counterpart to oppose Kenneth Chase.
• A reformed murderer that the Entity intended to be a Killer as a Survivor, with perks reflecting this (like the ability to see the scratch marks of other Survivors, or seeing the Killer's aura from a certain distance away in a sort of reverse-Leader, or seeing their aura when they kick a Gen, vault a Window, or break a Pallet.
  • A hidden psychopath (boom, instant codename) that the Entity thought would be a Survivor as a Killer.
• Dwight's boss as a Survivor.
  • Alternatively, Dwight's boss would be a Killer, with The Entity using it's reality warping powers to take advantage of his hostility towards Dwight and using it to corrupt Dwight's boss into something even worse than he already was.
• A mafia kingpin as a killer.
  • With some poor schmuck that he once made a deal with as a survivor.
• Rin Yamaoka/The Spirit's father as a killer.
  • With an added bonus of having Rin and her father fighting each other along with hunting down survivors at the same time. Evil vs. Evil, anyone?
  • Considering how manipulative The Entity is, I would not put this past it to do something like this.
  • Alternatively, Mr. Yamaoka will be a Survivor. It'll be explained that after killing his family, he became overcome with remorse and tried to atone for the crime by committing suicide, but instead got captured by the Entity and is now endlessly pursued by the daughter he murdered and his violent ancestor.
  • Or alternatively, Mr. Yamaoka can still be a killer, due to The Entity taking advantage of his insanity. Then, he will pit Rin against her father, just for its own amusement and to see what it would be like if two of the Killers fought against each other, killing each other repeatedly.
• A corrupt angel as a killer.
  • With a Defector from Decadence demon or a heroic Satanist who happens to be a police officer as a survivor.
• A batshit crazy conspiracy theorist as a killer.
  • With a more reasonable conspiracy theorist as a survivor.
• A robot gone haywire after attempting to study the Entity's realm as a Killer.
  • The robot's creator as a survivor.
• The Mothman as a Killer
• A Theatre Phantom as a Killer, with Christine as a Survivor. The Phantom of the Opera and the 1925 movie are Public Domain, so there'd be no licensing issues.
• A villainous Satanist as a Killer.
  • The twist being is that he or she unknowingly worshipped The Entity without ever realizing it until he or she ended up in the Entity's world. He or she still remains loyal to the Entity, thinking that the Entity is Satan or at least an ally/friend to Satan.
  • The survivor would be a heroic Satanist who happens to be a paramedic as a survivor.
• A corrupt US Army general as a killer.
  • With a heroic US Army private as a survivor.
• A Survivor who’s escaped the Entity’s realm before, and has come back to finish what they’ve started.
  • Also, a Killer who’s the Survivor after realising that the Entity will just pull everyone back in, and loses their mental stability after that.
• A corrupt PNP officer as a survivor. His weapon of choice is a Kampilan that he stole from a businessman that he murdered, and his power can be an M-16 rifle (yes, the PNP in the Philippines are allowed to use M-16s).
  • With a good PNP officer as a survivor.
• A noble-hearted and noble-minded gambler with a noble soul as a survivor.
  • With a shady card dealer as a killer.
• A demon who found a way to summon video game weapons and turn into a few in-universe video game villains as a Mechanically Unusual Fighter sort of killer.
  • With a gamer who happens to also be a security guard as a survivor.
• A momma's boy with a magical iPhone that has his dead mother's soul as a survivor. His perks can be based on magical apps on his phone.
  • With the jock bully as a killer.
  • As well as the nerdy bully as another killer.
• A Yandere female spy from the 1960's as a killer.
  • With a 21st-century spy code-named Sherlock as a survivor.
• The mother of The Twins, Madeline Deshayes, who hunts the survivors out of the same rage that Victor and Charlotte possess as a killer just like them, as well as a possible deranged protectiveness for her children. She was claimed by The Entity shortly after she was burned at the stake, and her power would involve some form of witchcraft, since she was accused of being a witch when she was alive for the birth of The Twins.
• A member of The Pariahs as a killer. Their backstory would have them coping with their grief in a much more unhealthy and destructive way than Felix and Elodie, possibly making a pact with the Entity itself to sacrifice more people to it with the promise of releasing their parents from the Fog. Of course, this being the Entity, they get rewarded by being turned into a killer.
  • The survivor would be one of their parents, or as a first - two original survivors for one chapter, being both of their parents.
• A classic Femme Fatale character as a killer, possibly an entertainer of sorts, whose powers revolve around the use of illusions and trances to draw survivors closer to her.
• One of the Killers as a Survivor, but it's a version of them pulled from an alternate universe where they never turned into a killer. The most eligible killers for this are the more "tragic" killers like Spirit and Wraith, but bringing in a more monstrous killer's AU counterpart like Trickster and Doctor would be interesting.
  • With an alternate universe version of one of the survivors as a killer.
• A custom Killer that you can modify yourself. The custom Killer has a base Killer that it uses for its powers, speed and Terror Radius, but its weapons, gender, species and height are all customisable.
• A custom survivor that can be modified to the player’s content.
  • You can only have one custom survivor/killer at a time, but they’re practically whatever character you want them to be.
• An original superhero with low-level superhuman strength, speed, and durability as a survivor.
  • With an original supervillain with immense sound manipulation, poison manipulation, and acid manipulation as a killer.
• A KKK member as a killer. He’s be one of the scariest killers, and he’ll be one of the most evilest killers.
  • With a black man trying to get back to his wife and kids (the aforementioned wife and children went missing for an as-of-yet unknown reason that the police and the FBI could not solve) as a survivor. One of his perks will be a pistol that can stun killers, so that players can get the satisfaction of shooting a Klansman.
• A Neo-Nazi as a killer, and he will also be one of the most evilest and scariest killers.
  • With a Jewish man who wants to save his best friend as a survivor. One of his perks will be a rapier from his friend that can stun killers, so that players can have the satisfaction of slashing a sword at and jabbing a sword at a Nazi.
• A Templar (the historical sort) as a killer.
• A member of the Spanish Inquisition as a killer.
• A Japanese businessman as a survivor.
  • With a disgruntled Japanese employee as a killer.
• A heroic ninja as a Mechanically Unusual Fighter survivor.
  • With a villainous ninja as a killer.
• A hockey player as a killer.
  • With a former teammate as a survivor.
• A deranged waiter as a killer.
• A deranged chef as a killer.
• A Japanese Imperial as a killer.
  • With a Japanese civilian as a survivor.
• A news reporter who went insane due to PTSD caused by witnessing horrific crimes while reporting them as a killer.
• A Patient Zero of some fictional illness made for this game's lore as a killer.
• An Irish Mob gangster as a killer.
• A Yakuza gangster as a killer.
• A Russian Mafia gangster as a killer.
• A Triad gangster as a killer.
• A Jewish Mafia gangster as a killer.
• A British Mafia gangster as a killer.
• A Viking Raider or Berserker as a killer.
  • An Anglo-Saxon monk or peasant as a survivor.

• A military android corrupted by the Entity as a killer.
• H. P. Lovecraft as a Killer, brought back to life by the Entity. His power would be summoning weaker versions of his monsters from their books.
  • As a potshot towards his racist beliefs, he deals less damage to black Survivors and always finishes them off with Shub-Ziggurath.
• The Malware, a sentient computer virus given physical form by the Entity as a sort of solid hologram, as a Killer.
• A former host of a live action kids show (likely a parody of various Mascot Horror games) as a Killer, who utilizes Cartoon Physics as his killing style.

Licensed characters

• One of the Bratwurst Nazis as a killer.
  • With the Colleens as survivors.
• James Bond as a survivor.
  • With Oddjob as a killer.
  • And an Entity-corrupted Jaws (the henchman) as another killer.
• Dawn of the Dead 2004's Ana as a survivor.
  • With the authoritarian security guard CJ as a killer, and the creepy security guard Bart as another killer.
  • As a bonus, the running zombies from Dawn of the Dead 2004 can be an obstacle for survivors to avoid, or an iconic zombie such as the muscular zombie near the climax of Dawn of the Dead 2004 or the obese zombie from the middle of the movie can be a killer.
• Army of the Dead
  • Zeus the Zombie King and the Zombie Queen as separate killers.
    • With Scott Ward, Maria Cruz, Chambers, Marianne Peters, Geeta, and Mikey Guzman as survivors.
  • Vanderohe as a human as a survivor.
    • With Vanderohe as a King Zombie as a killer.
  • Ludwig Dieter as a human as a survivor.
    • With Ludwig Dieter as an Alpha Zombie as a killer.
• A Predator. He's been licensed out to to several games, and even shared screen-time in a Mortal Kombat game with Leatherface. Being able to hunt for all eternity for the Entity would likely appeal to the Predators- although they may have some issue with how it isn't a fair fight- although perhaps he'd be willing to put aside his ranged weaponry to make it more sporting. He'd also add a truly sci-fi character, which would make some sense since why would the entity simply stay on Earth to find victims and killers?
  • Except the Aliens/Predators EU quite firmly establishes that they DO NOT, under ANY circumstances, hunt or harm children, which most survivors appear to be-Predator law states that viable Prey must be of legal age and physical maturity.
  • It could be one of the eviler Predators from the movie Predators (so evil, even other Predators condemn them).
  • Mike Harrigan as a survivor.
  • Dutch as another survivor.
• Chucky. They'd probably have to work around his size, but the whole soul swapping and stealing could make him unique. Maybe he can take over other survivors to disguise himself? Andy Barclay could be a survivor and the Good Guy Doll Factory could be an arena.
  • For Chucky, I had the idea of him using "drones" via his soul splitting ability in Cult of Chucky. The premise is that Chucky starts as a single doll. But littered around the map are empty Good Guy dolls, which Chucky can interact with to start a ritual. Once the ritual is complete, Chucky gets an AI-controlled ally, which he can switch with on the fly, unless the drone is in a chase. This 'drone' can't attack the survivors, only chase them. However, once a survivor is in a drone's POV, their Aura is revealed to the player-controlled Chucky. To counter this insane mobility, a single Chucky is unable to vault windows or pallets, but a second Chucky can help him do this. Pallets don't stun Chucky - they trap him^*Unless there's only one Chucky, in which case he's simply stunned like normal, and one of the other Chucky dolls has to interact with him to help him escape, which destroys the pallet in the process.
  • Chucky could "carry" survivors, by possessing nearby dead bodies that only he can access that are at least roughly the same size as most survivors and carrying them while in those dead bodes, or carry them by dragging the survivors' bodies to the hook, possessing the survivor's body, then controlling the survivor's body so that they end up effectively hooking themselves.
    • To balance this out, if they use the former, survivors can burn the dead bodies enough to the point that Chucky can no longer use them, and if they use the latter, survivors can get some sort of small voodoo artifact that prevents them from being possessed by Chucky.
    • And Chucky can also either pick up the voodoo artifact or just destroying it to prevent survivors from using it.
  • Chucky is Confirmed. Although there aren’t any special items to interact with, we DO get Tiffany as an alternate skin.
• The Babyface Killer.
  • With Tree Gelbman as a survivor.
• The Blissfield Butcher as a killer. Their special ability could revolve around taking control of a Survivor's body to discreetly sabotage the Survivor's efforts, while their Perks give them boosts to damaging generators, destroying pallets, and the like.
• Ash Williams from Evil Dead as a survivor.
  • With the added bonus of having Deadites serve as a bonus enemy while also avoiding/fighting the killers.
  • Confirmed. But no Deadites.
  • Evil Ash from Army of Darkness as a killer.
• Resident Evil:
  • Nemesis or a Tyrant (most likely Mr. X) as killers.
  • William Birkin as a killer, with a perk involving his continuing mutation.
  • Raccoon City as a realm.
    • Nemesis, Leon Kennedy, Jill Valentine, and the Raccoon City Police Station have been confirmed.
  • Jack, Marguerite, or Lucas Baker as a killer.
    • Out of the Bakers, Lucas seems most likely. He was fully lucid for most of his crimes, after all. He'd be the easiest for the Entity to corrupt.
    • To be fair, considering that The Entity is a reality warper, it can corrupt all three of the Bakers.
    • The Baker Family Ranch as a Realm.
    • Ethan and Mia Winters could be survivors.
  • Albert Wesker as a killer.
    • This genuinely might be the case here: the Chapter after the Dredge's is called, Resident Evil: Project W.
    • Confirmed!
  • Zombie Forest Speyer as a killer.
  • Osmund Saddler as a killer.
  • Jack Krauser as a killer.
    • With Ada Wong as a survivor.
    • And Luis Sera, also as a survivor.
  • Alcina Dimitrescu as a killer.
• The remake version of Jason Voorhees as another killer.
  • Since they have the remake Freddy Kruger as one of the killers.
  • With Clay as a survivor.
  • A possible reason for this is that thanks to Victor Miller's lawsuit, the developers of Friday the 13th: The Game can no longer add any new content to their game, or even do anything else major for that matter, therefore, they can no longer compete with the developers of Dead By Daylight anymore.
    • Besides, I suggested remake Jason Voorhees and a remake survivor to keep it different from Friday the 13th: The Game.
• An Entity-corrupted Wallace from Tusk as a killer, the Entity granting him a new power to switch between his human form and Walrus form.
  • With the madman surgeon also from Tusk as another killer. Bonus points if The Entity decides to pit Wallace and the madman surgeon against each other, to see what it would be like for two killers to battle each other.
• The killer moose from the upcoming Moose Jaws as, well duh, a killer.
• The monster sofa from the 2019 horror movie Killer Sofa as a Mechanically Unusual Fighter killer.
  • With Francesca as a survivor, since the monster sofa takes rejection way too seriously.
• The DCU:
  • Superman as a Mechanically Unusual Fighter survivor.
    • And who else but Lex Luthor as a killer.
  • General Zod as a killer.
  • Wonder Woman as a Mechanically Unusual Fighter survivor.
    • With Cheetah as a killer.
  • The Joker as a killer. His playstyle would be an inversion of the Clown's: The Clown lobs bottles of anesthesia at the survivors which slows their movement and distorts their vision. The Joker would lay down traps that explode into a cloud of Joker gas whenever a survivor gets too close. The gas gradually deals damage to them over time and causes them to uncontrollably laugh until it wears off, allowing the Joker to track them more easily.
  • Batman as a survivor.
  • Jason Todd as The Survivor.
  • The Batcave as a realm.
  • Batman Who Laughs as a Killer.
  • Nightwing as a survivor.
  • Deathstroke as a killer.
  • Lobo as a killer.
  • Darlene Spritzer as a survivor.
  • A bloodied Justice League Watchtower as a realm.
  • Zombie Flash from DC: House of Horror as one of the killers, complete with Super-Speed.
    • With (a gadget-less) Batman as one of the survivors.
  • Zombie Batman from DC: House of Horror as one of the killers, with blood-soaked Batarangs as his weapon of choice and his "power" being gas pellets (yes, Adaptational Badass and Broad Strokes would be used to make Zombie Batman at least a bit smarter). His three perks would be based on his persistence.
    • With a ring-less Hal Jordan as one of the survivors (it's most likely that the Entity took away Hal's ring).
  • Vampire Batman from the Elseworlds Batman Vampire Trilogy as one of the killers (it would be from the point where he goes insane in Crimson Mist).
  • Alfred Pennyworth and Commissioner Gordon as survivors.
  • The Dawnbreaker, The Devastator, The Drowned, Red Death, Murder Machine, and the Merciless as killers.
  • One of the zombies from DCeased as a killer.
    • With Harley Quinn as a survivor.
  • Gaslight Joker as a killer.
    • With Gaslight Batman as a survivor.
  • Two-Face as a Killer.
  • Victor Zsasz as a Killer.
  • The monster version of Kal-El from the DC horror short story "Bump In the Night" as a killer.
  • A Talon from the Court of Owls as a Killer.
  • Amanda Waller as a survivor.
    • With an Entity-corrupted Deadshot as a killer.
• Reggie Mantle as a killer.
  • With Archie Andrews as a survivor.
• Jacket from Hotline Miami as a killer, and Evan Wright from the second game as a survivor.
  • Alternatively, Manny Pardo as a Killer, "The Mutilator".
• One of the Neo-Nazis from Green Room as a killer. And he’ll be one of the scariest killers in the game.
• Brandon Breyer from Brightburn as a killer. And unlike the other killers, he'll have 5 powers.
• Megan Fox as a survivor.
  • Her perks can reference how much of an edgelord she can be online (seriously, the "drinking blood" thing? Megan was probably being sarcastic about that one).
• Boris the Wolf as a Survivor and "The Angel" (AKA "Alice Angel" AKA Susie Campbell) as a Killer. Joey Drew Studios would be their Realm, and props would have unique models and/or textures to better fit into the toony sepia tone environment.
  • Boris could have the unique trait of having black ink in place of blood.
  • Or maybe Sammy Lawrence as "The Musician" or something like that.
  • Oh please, give us the Ink Demon himself!^note Then again, we already have a teleporting Killer, and I can see "The Angel" working nicely... Also, Allison as a Survivor.
• Not Important as a killer.
  • With his misanthropy used as one of his gameplay mechanics.
• Rip and Grinder from Hobo with a Shotgun as killers.
  • With The Hobo as a survivor.
• The NWA as killers.
  • With Nicholas Angel and Danny Butterman as survivors.
• Duke Nukem as a survivor.
  • With a Pigcop as one of the killers.
  • Dr. Proton as a killer.
  • Duke's mansion as a realm.
• The alligators from Crawl as Killers.
• Professor Moriarty from Sherlock Holmes as a Killer, With Sherlock Holmes as a Survivor.
  • Which is another reason to have Victorian London as a realm.
  • Sherlock's uncanny detective skills could play into his perks, like the ability to briefly see the auras of everything on the map, with a lengthy recharge time (each rank increases the seeing time and decreases the recharge), and another that gives the Killer scratch marks (each rank increasing how long the scratch marks last).
  • Moriarty's power could be a revolver from the 1800's, with his weapon being his cane.
• Edgar Allan Poe as a survivor.
  • Alternatively, a fan of Edgar Allan Poe as a survivor.
  • The physical manifestation of the plague (or whatever the hell it is) from The Masque of the Red Death as a killer.
    • Alternatively, to keep up with the dark fantasy twist thing for an Edgar Allan Poe-themed chapter, a demonically-cursed cat (based on his story the The Black Cat) and a demonically-cursed crow (based on his poem The Raven) as killers. They could even work as a type of Stance System, a la Carter's Spark.
    • Or, instead of just one of them, both the physical personification of the Plague as one killer and a duo of a demonically-cursed cat and a demonically-cursed crow as another killer.
• Cujo, the rabid dog from the book of the same name, as a killer.
  • With his rabies being used as a power.
  • His weapons of choice, of course, are his bite and his claws. These would count as one weapon as they are a part of his body.
  • His perks could be using his senses of smell, taste, touch, sight, and hearing to track down survivors, a perk that increases his running speed, and lastly a rage mode that makes his bite or scratch a one-hit kill for survivors.
    • No, it’d have to be an insta-down if you’re going to implement a rage mode. Not even The Shape can one-shot a Survivor without perks.
• Borderlands:
  • One of the Psychos as a killer.
    • With Lilith as a Mechanically Unusual Fighter sort of survivor.
• Super:
  • The Crimson Bolt as a survivor.
  • Jaques the Drug Lord as a killer.
  • Libby from Super as a survivor, with her "superhero" identity, the violent and sadistic Boltie as a killer (Boltie really does NOT deserve to be called a "superhero". And again, The Entity can get survivors and killers from different parts of time).
• Still de-powered versions of the superheroes from All Superheroes Must Die as survivors.

  • With the supervillains Manpower, Sledgesaw, and Rickshaw as killers.

• Manhunt:
  • Piggsy as a killer.
  • James Earl Cash as a survivor. His perk could potentially be a sneak attack that briefly stuns the Killer. We could maybe make it apparent that the Killers are relying on their supernatural powers to stand against him, because without said abilities it'd be a Curb-Stomp Battle.
  • Leo Kasper from Manhunt 2 as a killer. His power could be a strength and speed boost triggered after he kills at least one survivor.
  • Daniel Lamb as a survivor (split personality being separated thanks to the Entity's reality-warping powers, anyone?).
• One of the intelligent zombie kids from Cooties as a killer.
  • As a bonus, some other zombie kids can be bonus obstacles for survivors to also avoid.
  • With the teacher Clint as a suvivor.
• Courier Six as a Survivor. It would be easy to hide their identity with the NCR Ranger Combat Armor ^note  however, the Pig might have to place the Iris Guillotine or Shotgun Collar on them instead of the Reverse Bear Trap, in order to accommodate the helmet, and alternate torso cosmetics could allow you to change their gender in a somewhat similar manner to how you can play as different Legion members through body cosmetics.
  • Their perks could reflect gameplay aspects from New Vegas, such as the ability to see all auras within a certain distance while sneaking, based on the Pip-Boy's Map and Compass, or A Light Shining In Darkness, which can stun Killers but only has 2/4/6 rounds a match, or a Stealth Boy that turns you invisible and obscures the Killer's ability to see your Aura and scratch marks for a short time, but it's limited to only 1/2/3 uses.
  • A member of the East Coast Enclave in a suit of Black Devil Power Armor^note  or rather, a bulky Fallout 4-esque version, with the Low-Light Optics providing the Red Stain as a Killer, with a power based on the Plasma Rifle, and a Super Sledge as their weapon.
    • They would have a slower movement speed to compensate for their ranged ability, but certain add-ons and a perk, Grim Reaper's Sprint (basically Killer's Sprint Burst), can help to somewhat alleviate this. The Plasma Rifle's shots would need to be slightly slower than the Huntress's hatchets, for both balance and accuracy to how plasma weapons work in the Fallout games, and have a slow (once-a-second) rate of fire, as well as a small pool of ammo (say, 5), both of which can be increased with add-ons (or decreased to one with the Ultra-Rare variant, in exchange for Insta-Downing Survivors) and a long recharge time (45 seconds should suffice) that can be reduced by unstackable add-ons.
  • Goodsprings, the New Vegas Strip, the Adams Air Force Base, Raven Rock, and (the Entity's take on a) Vault (with a unique Vault Door Exit Gate) as locations under the American Wastelands realm.^note The reason for those map choices is that it equally represents both the West and East Coasts (and by extension, Courier Six and The Soldier), with the Vault representing both and neither at the same time, as well as fulfilling the Fallout Quota of needing at least one Vault. The usage of a fictional Vault made entirely by the Entity allows for all sorts of directions in how to go about designing it without contradicting Fallout lore.
  • Highly unlikely, but… Vault Boy as a survivor (either played as a Joke Character, or played as a Lethal Joke Character). Following up on that, a Deathclaw as a Killer.
• The Sole Survivor, Piper Wright and Cait as Survivors.
  • Conrad Kellogg as a killer.
• Ghostbusters:
  • The four main Ghostbusters from the first two movies as survivors.
    • With either the Librarian Ghost as a killer, Vigo as a killer, the Scoleri Brothers as a duo of killers, or an Entity-corrupted Slimer as a killer.
    • The Ghostbusters from the 2016 reboot could be legendary skins, for those who liked that movie.
  • Bryan "Rookie" Welsh from the realistic version of Ghostbusters: The Video Game.
    • His perks could be based on the Ghost Traps (Stun), Slime Mines (Slow), and PKE Meter (tracks killer's aura while in their Terror Radius and for a time after leaving the Terror Radius).
    • Ivo Shandor the Architect as a Killer.
    • The Sedgewick Hotel, the City Streets, the Central Park Cemetery, the New York City Public Library, and the Manhattan Museum of Art as locations under the Manhattan realm. Negatively-charged slime can serve as the Exit Gates, in a manner similar to Hawkins National Lab's unique Gates.
• John Rambo as a survivor.
  • With the corrupt sheriff as a killer.
• Adam Taurus as a Killer, possibly called "The Extremist" or "The Fanatic", with Pyrrha Nikos as a Survivor (who had her ability to access her Aura and Semblance locked off by the Entity.)
  • Also on the Rooster Teeth brand, David as a Survivor, and Daniel as a Killer.
    • Further on Rooster Teeth’s brand, Grif and Sarge as a Survivor and Killer, respectively. In-Universe, this gives Sarge plenty of ways to play Grifball.
  • Pyrrha's Aura and Semblance could also be relegated to Perks.
• BJ Blazkowicz as a survivor.
  • By extension, Mecha-Hitler as a Killer. And, despite the absurdity of the idea of Hitler in a mech suit, he’ll be one of the scariest killers in the game. Yes, this may very well be Jossed.
• The Sasquatch from Suburban Sasquatch as a killer.
  • With Talia from that same movie as a survivor.
• One of the semi-intelligent soldier zombies from Planet Terror as a Killer.
  • With a peg-legged Cherry Darling as a survivor.
• Twisted Metal:
  • Needles Kane/Sweet Tooth as a Killer.
  • Carl and Jamie Roberts as Survivors.
  • Calypso as a Killer.
    • With his weapons working on a tier system. First, he starts off with the bladed glove from Twisted Metal Black, then his pistol also from Twisted Metal Black, then his sniper-rifle from Twisted Metal: Head On, then finally his sub-machine gun from the Lost cutscenes of Twisted Metal 1.
    • Since his wish-granting is useless in combat, Calypso's power would be to summon his bodyguards to attack survivors instead.
  • Most of the characters from ''Twisted Metal Black'' as Killers.
    • Except for Raven, who could be a survivor.
• The Boys:
  • The Homelander, A-Train, the Deep, Black Noir and Translucent as killers.
  • The Deep’s power involves his octopus.
  • Soldier Boy as a killer.
  • A Popclaw heavily doped up on Compound V as a Killer.
  • Billy Butcher, The Frenchman, Huge Campbell, and Mother's Milk (TV show versions, that way they will NOT be too OP for Dead By Daylight survivor standards) as survivors.
• Travis Touchdown from No More Heroes before his redemption as a Killer.
  • With, to emphasize just how sociopathic towards humans The Entity is, a weakened and unarmed Travis Touchdown after his redemption as a survivor.
• Captain Martin Walker from Spec Ops: The Line as the killer while 1st Lieutenant Alphonso Adams or Staff Sergeant John Lugo as Survivors.
• Marvel Universe:
  • One of the Marvel Zombies as a killer.
    • With 2149 Nick Fury as one of the survivors.
  • The Punisher as a survivor.
  • Spider-Man as a survivor.
    • Spider-Man has appeared in some Marvel stories that are NOT for kids.
    • Also, Spider-Man would be a survivor that has perks based around his spider-themed powers.
  • Carnage as a killer.
  • Wolverine as a Survivor and his berserker state as a Killer.
  • Barakapool from X-Men Origins: Wolverine as a Lethal Joke Character killer.
• Gustavo "Gus" Fring, "The Kingpin", as a Killer with his box cutter as his weapon. His power could have something to do with his intelligence or his patience, like getting stronger as the game goes on or being able to fight the survivors more directly. His perks could tie into this as well.
  • With Jesse Pinkman as a survivor, with his perks revolving around working better with other survivors present.
  • And Season 1 Walter White (ugly mustache and all) as a survivor with Season 5 Walter White, "The Cook", as a Killer.
• A corrupted Agent 47 as a killer.
  • With Penelope Graves as a survivor. Any target will do, really, but Graves is field-oriented (rather than business-oriented), modern, sympathetic, unarmed, modestly dressed and relatively well-known and well-liked with fans. And her being "saved" from the slurry pit would be a good backstory as to how the Entity recruited her.
  • Alternatively, Agent 47 as a survivor and one of his revived, vengeful targets as a killer.
• Villanelle as a killer.
  • With Eve Polastri as a survivor.
• A Genestealer cultist or a Necron Warrior as a killer.
  • An Imperial Guardsman or Hive Scum could be a survivor.
    • The realm could be an Imperial Hive City. Endgame Collapse can possibly involve an Inquisitorial Fleet performing Exterminatus.
• How do you get an iconic representative for creepypasta internet horror stories while desperately disguising the potential cringe and maintaining the appearance of higher standards? Easy. You license Marble Hornets.
  • The Operator/The Slender Man as a killer.
  • Jay or Alex as a survivor.
  • Masky as a costume for The Legion.
    • Alternatively, Masky could be another killer too.
• Scooby-Doo costumes for some of the free characters.
  • Dwight is Shaggy.
  • Claudette is Velma.
  • Meg is Daphne.
  • Jake is Freddy.
  • Cheap rubber masks of classic Scooby Doo monsters for a handful of killers.
• The Repo Man from Repo! The Genetic Opera as a Killer.
• The two Repo-Men from Repo Men as a duo of Killers that work together as a team.
• Mary Mason either as a survivor or a killer.
  • Mary Mason when she was eccentric and friendly as a survivor and Mary Mason after her Face–Heel Turn as a killer.
• Erin Harson from You're Next as a survivor.
• Cole Johnson as a survivor.
• Carmen Sandiego as a survivor.
• The Angry Video Game Nerd as a survivor.
  • With a deranged fanboy as a killer.
    • Better Idea: Board James.
    • This would make a great April Fools Joke.
    • Alternatively, it could be played as serious, if The Entity uses it's reality-warping powers to de-power the Angry Video Game Nerd.
• The Shark from Jaws as a Killer.
  • With Martin Brody as a Survivor.
    • Or, alternatively, Martin Brody as a survivor, the corrupt Mayor as a killer, and the Shark as an additional obstacle for survivors to avoid but only if the corrupt Mayor is the killer in play, similar to Nemesis’s zombies.
• The Dead Rising protagonists as survivors.
  • With some psychopaths as killers.
    • And the added bonus of zombies being another enemy for the survivors to deal with.
    • And we could even get a DLC pack where some saveable survivors from all 4 main games can become survivors, with their own unique perks.
• Wolf as a killer.
  • With a Cloaker as a Survivor.
  • A bit of cross-promotion with a sister game series never hurt anybody.
    • If this WMG ever comes true, this would also give the developers extra incentive for the below-mentioned firearms DLC WMG.
• Eventually, the developers will finally have full copyright licensing of Ghostface, and add other Ghostfaces as playable characters in the same slot as The Ghostface, with the explanation that they formed a cult similar to The Legion's gang.
  • To make things even better, each of the Ghostfaces will have a unique power, unlike The Legion.
  • Jossed; Ghostface has been added as a killer, but is an original character wearing the mask rather than any of the killers from the Scream series.
• Jennifer Check as a killer.
  • Needy as a survivor.
• A Xenomorph as one of the killers.
  • Confirmed!
• The other Left 4 Dead survivors as, well, survivors, and at least one of the Special Infected as a killer.
  • Alternatively, all of the Special Infected can each be individual killers.
    • Either that, or the Special Infected become alternate costumes for the Killers. Except the Tank. That’s definitely a Killer.
• The aliens from A Quiet Place, with Lee as the survivor.
  • The aliens could have their claws be their weapon of choice. Their power could be their bite that weakens survivors (sure, they don't eat their victims, but that does not mean that they can't eat their victims), and their perks could be their natural armor that's part of their body making it harder for survivors to struggle when carried by them or when they are about to be hooked, their super senses that allow them to track survivors easier, and their strength which allows them to hit survivors harder.
  • To balance things out, the Entity could leave items that make loud sounds to use against the aliens (as in weaken their natural body armor).
  • Also, the aliens' weakness to sound could be manipulated by the Entity in that he would alter their abilities a bit, weakening them to the point that even a somewhat loud noise could weaken the armor that is literally a part of their bodies.
  • Plus, the aliens could try to destroy the sound-making items, while the survivors try to repair them.
  • Presumably, survivors taught each other how to do repair such sound-making items or the Entity granted them that knowledge while giving the killers knowledge of the survivors.
• The Maniac Cop as one of the killers.
  • With Frank McRae as a survivor.
• Nemesis from the Mark Millar comic of the same name as a killer.
• Candyman as a killer, With his lair in Cabrini Green as a level and Helen as an added Survivor.
  • Alternatively, if they wanted to base a Candyman chapter on a film modern audiences are more likely to be familiar with (like they arguably did with the Nightmare On Elm's Street chapter), they could have Anthony McCoy be the survivor.
• William Afton, Big Bad of the Five Nights at Freddy's series, as "The Mascot" or, like in the third Five Nights at Freddy's game, "The Springtrap", with a Crowbar, Bonnie's Guitar, or a Pipe Wrench as his weapon. Freddy Fazbear's Pizza could be a realm, and Micheal Afton could be the Survivor (provided Scott Cawthon is willing to give him an official design, though he could just use a Foxy animatronic as his body, if he's the Big Brother Bully from 4).
  • For those unfamiliar, Afton is a serial child murderer who lured his victims to their dooms by wearing a rabbit mascot costume. When the spirits of his victims came after him, Afton took refuge inside his costume. However, the costume utilized special spring locks that allowed it to be used as either an animatronic robot or a costume. These spring locks triggered and mutilated Afton within the costume. His body remained where it fell for decades before being found by people wanting to use his actions for a haunted house attraction. It was there that Afton, his body still trapped within the animatronic, was reborn as Springtrap to continue his reign of terror until old enemies finally ended him in fire. It is at this point the Entity took interest in William Afton, giving him a new killing field rather than the deepest pit of hell his foes had expected.
  • As a Killer, the Mascot could have a mechanic similar to the Pig: Stuffing overlarge costume heads onto downed survivors. These heads are large and brightly colored, making it harder for the survivor to hide. These heads can possibly also periodically make noises to alert the Mascot to their location, much like how one of Springtrap's mechanics was using the sound of children to lure him to other rooms. Add-ons can also inflict status effects like Blindness, Mangled, or Hemorrhage. His Mori would be to shove a head on his victim then cause a spring lock failure to kill them.
    • While keeping the Spring Lock Mori, his ability could be using a camera system to keep track of the whole map as a flip on FNAF's usual gameplay, along with using lockers like suggested below, and having a crouch ability like the Pig or the Ghost Face, at the cost of a relatively slow movement speed (about as fast as the Nurse), meaning that his play-style would revolve around stealth and ambushing the Survivors, while tracking them down on the cameras. Add-ons can increase video feed clarity (as an example, an Iridescent Lens allows the cameras to see the Survivors' aura, even if they aren't obstructed) and add more cameras (provided the camera locations are randomly generated, which is likely).
  • In keeping with the jumpscares that make up the FNAF series as a whole, the Mascot could potentially utilize the lockers, hiding in them and jumping out at Survivors that wander too close, potentially one-shot grabbing them much like when a Killer finds a Survivor inside a locker.
  • Michael Afton could be a survivor, even if a weird one, seeing as he would most likely be a zombie.
    • The survivor could be Michael Afton before he started looking zombie-like (to avoid being confused as a killer by other players if one of the players is playing as Michael Afton.)
  • Seemingly jossed by the gameplay programmer, L Mclean. Quote, "I don't know what the fuck Springtrap is. Because I'm not 10."
    • He's a single programmer though, so this is Word of Dante at best.
  • Some of the Animatronics themselves, also from Five Nights at Freddy's, as killers.
    • Adaptational Badass will be required for this idea.
    • If nothing else, they could easily be cosmetics for Springtrap. Some could even have a different base model similar to The Legion?
  • Vanny/Vanessa as a killer.
  • With an 18-year-old Gregory as a survivor.
  • Or Vanny as a killer, with the Entity splitting the Vanessa side into a separate being and having Vanessa as a survivor.
• Silent Hill:
  • Pyramid Head as one of the killers.
    • It would have to be the Spear version, the ones carrying the BFS are rather slow.
    • To be fair, even if Pyramid Head does get his Great Knife, The Entity could just give Pyramid Head a slight speed boost to even the odds (The Entity can warp reality to a degree.)
    • Confirmed, Pryamid Head was added in chapter 16 with Cheryl Mason as as the survivor. And he even has his Great Knife, too.
  • James Sunderland of Silent Hill 2 as one of the killers.
  • Alternatively, James Sunderland can be one of the survivors.
    • Or, better yet, a James Sunderland when he remembers killing his wife as a killer, with a James Sunderland who does not remember killing his wife as a survivor (the Entity can pick survivors and killers through time, remember?).
    • Subverted, as James was added as a Legendary set for Cheryl Mason.
  • Walter Sullivan as a killer, using a pipe as the weapon. His special ability is placing halo symbols on the ground that will summon a ghost and injure the player when they get near. Every survivor he kills in a match gives him another ghost to summon. His Mori animation is him beating a survivor to death then writing a string of number on their corpse.
  • Eileen Galvin as a survivor. Henry canonically kills him, so it wouldn't make much sense for him to be the survivor.
  • Alternatively, Henry Townshend can also be a survivor, with the idea that he’s a Henry Townshend from an alternate timeline where he died at the hands of Walter or one of the Silent Hill 4 ghosts. Or worse yet, he could have had the misfortune of simply being deemed worthy of being a survivor in The Entity’s realm due to surviving monsters, ghosts, and a serial killer.
  • The Boogeyman from Silent Hill: Downpour as a killer.
    • With Anne Cunningham and Murphy Pendleton as survivors.
• The Walking Dead:
  • The Governor as one of the killers, with his split personality of Brian Blake/Phillip Blake playing some kind of role in his "power".
  • Negan as another killer, with his rage (rage mode) and his charisma (in that he can call for one of his Saviours cult to help him) playing a role in his two "powers" (yes, unlike other killers, Negan gets two powers), and Lucille serving as his weapon.
  • Alternatively, or along with Negan, Shane Walsh could be a killer, Shane's power being his shotgun and his weapon being a fire ax referencing his melee weapon of choice from the comics.
  • Either Glenn Rhee or Rick Grimes will be a survivor. Or both of them.
  • Lee Everett and Clementine as survivors, with Carver as a killer, his power being calling for one of his goons to attack survivors.
  • Carl Grimes as a survivor.
  • With a Whisperer as a killer, his power being calling for a zombie to attack survivors.
  • Or, hear me out, the Walkers themselves as Killers. You control a random Walker, and the res are controlled by the AI.
    • Alternatively, the Walkers would be an additional hazard for survivors to evade, with said walkers ONLY appearing in Walking Dead maps.
    • However, a Whisperer as a Killer can take advantage of their disguise made out of Walker skin in order to lead hordes to survivors.
  • One of the newly discovered running zombies from Fear the Walking Dead as a Killer.
  • Futuristic Rick Grimes with cybernetic arm and laser sword as a MechanicallyUnusualFighter survivor.
• The Demogorgon from Stranger Things, with Steve, Nancy, or Hopper as the survivor.
  • Confirmed, with Steve and Nancy as survivors and Hawkins National Lab as a location.
• Naughty Bear as a killer.
  • Naughty Bear was developed by BHVR just like DBD, and he just so happens to be a psychotic killer.
  • Confirmed. While he appears as an Legendary outfit for the Trapper, he has his own unique Mori.
• Paxton Fettel as a killer.
• Kick-Ass:
  • Kick-Ass as a survivor.
  • Hit-Girl as a survivor.
  • Big Daddy from as a survivor.
  • Mother Russia as a killer.
  • Frank D'Amico as a killer.
  • Eddie Lomas and Rasul as killers (who's to say that alternate timelines aren't a thing in the Dead By Daylight Universe?).
  • Red Mist as a survivor, with The Motherfucker as a killer (remember, The Entity can pull survivors through different time periods.)
• Bit of a copyright nightmare, but every monster from The Cabin in the Woods as killers.
  • Oh God, imagine playing as Kevin. God knows what havoc he’ll cause.
• Big Daddy from Land of the Dead as a Killer.
• One of the Hunters (the Poacher is most likely) from Deathgarden as a Killer, and a disarmed Scavenger as a Survivor. It wouldn't hurt to use Dead by Daylight to advertise it's sister game, after all.
• A T-800 or a T-1000. Possibly even both. If it's the latter, it'll be able to use its shapeshifting abilities to impersonate survivors, allowing it to get the drop on them. In either case, they won't look like Arnold Schwarzenegger or Robert Patrick to avoid pricey licensing fees, with the explanation that they're different models from the ones seen in the movies. The T-1000's weapon of choice would be its police pistol.
  • If it's the T-800, its power will be its inhuman strength and durability, with perks being its self-surgery, tracking ability, and its persistence. Its weapon of choice would be its iconic mini-gun from the climax of Terminator 2.
  • Alternatively, the T-800's weapon could be a shotgun, with limited range and a slow rate of fire to keep things balanced. The T-1000 won't need a weapon, instead it'll shapeshift its hands into extending blades to stab Survivors.
  • I could even see both the T-800 and the T-1000 being the first two killers to have two weapons of choice. As for the T-800's mini-gun, it could be balanced out with its own limited range, a cool-down effect, and limited ammo.
  • The weapons could operate on a tier system similar to Michael Myers, with the Terminators gradually upgrading their arsenal as they hunt down the Survivors. For example, the T-800 starts out with the shotgun, but gains an assault rifle to dual wield as it progresses and then finally receives the mini-gun after that. Once the mini-gun's ammo is spent, the T-800 goes back to just using the shotgun and start over again.
  • With John Connor and Sarah Connor as survivors.
  • Kyle Reese as a Survivor as well. Levels could be based off the post-Judgement Day future, strewn with piles of human skulls and wrecked Terminators, and the police station from the first movie.
  • The T-1000's weapons could operate on a tier system as well, with T-1000 starting with it's pistol, then upgrading to blade arms, then finally the throwable metal spear that is made from it's own body.
  • The T-800's mori would be a recreation of how it killed the biker in the first movie: it lets the Survivor stand up before plunging it's arm into their chest and ripping out their heart. The T-1000's would be based on how it killed the security guard in the second movie, by turning it's finger into a spike and extending it through it's victim's skull, complete with inquisitive head tilt.
    • The T-1000 could even make his own hooks using liquid metal from his body.
    • The T-1000 as a skin for The Nemesis, making a liquid metal whip.
  • Both Terminators would have a unique HUD based on the red-tinted Robo Cam seen in the movies.
• R.J. MacReady from The Thing (1982) as a Survivor.
  • The Thing itself as a Killer. Its perks would revolve around negating Survivor perks that let them track each other.
    • The Thing’s power would be somewhat similar to the Pig’s, striking them down and passing a bit of its own cells on, assimilating with them in a specific amount of time if they don’t find a table with a hot copper wire. Unlike the Pig, though, the countdown starts as soon as the Survivor gets back up.
• The Zombieland protagonists as survivors.
  • Super-Zombie Albuquerque and Super-Zombie Flaggstaff as Killers.
• The rest of Leatherface's family as individual killers.
  • With Sally Hardesty as a survivor.
• Alex Browning as a survivor.
• A survivor from The Blair Witch Project.
  • We already have a Heather and a Michael, so, I guess, Josh?
    • The Blair Witch herself as a Killer.
• Ellie and Joel as survivors.
  • With Abby Anderson as a killer.
    • Or, more likely, a Clicker as the killer itself.
    • Alternatively, Clickers and other infected from The Last of Us can be additional obstacles for survivors to avoid, Abby Anderson can still be a killer, with her having perks that revolve around her rage, and her power being her already-dangerous strength being enhanced by the Entity. Her weapon of choice would be a bloodied golf club.
• Dead Island:
  • The Butcher as a Killer.
  • Ryder White as a killer, with his power being his super-zombie transformation.
  • The Screamer from Dead Island: Riptide as a killer.
  • Xian Mei as a survivor.
• Pennywise the Dancing Clown. Except, the DLC represents the general Stephen King shared universe, rather than just It.
  • Castle Rock as a map, with Needful Things, Emporium Galorium, The Mellow Tiger, as landmarks and the traintracks just outside the exit gates.
  • Sheriff Pangborn as a survivor.
  • This one's a long shot, but this *is* the WMG page. In the style of the Robbie the Rabbit costumes The Legion got when the Silent Hill DLC released, and with the new Legendary costume rarity, Jack Torrance as a skin for The Trapper, using a fire-axe as his weapon and shouting "Heeeere's Johnny!" when he finds a survivor in a locker.
  • Dan Torrance as a Survivor. Rose The Hat as a Killer. The Overlook Hotel as a map.
• Ronnie Barnhardt at the end of Observe and Report as a survivor, with him when he's at his most insane as a killer.
• Bill Foster from Falling Down as a Killer. His nickname could be "The Bad Father".
• Sidney Prescot from Scream as a survivor, added to the existing Ghostface DLC. The Ghostface killer already in the game will remain how it is and continue to have no relation to any of the killers from Scream.
  • Alternatively, the other Ghostface killers will be additional killers, each of them having a different power from the other. To differentiate from them, the other Ghostface killers will be unmasked except they will be wearing the rest of the Ghostface costume. The only one wearing the Ghostface mask will be the new Ghostface killer created for this game.
  • With Woodsboro as a realm.
    • One map would be Woodsboro from the first Scream. The other map would be the movie set version of Woodsboro from Scream 3, using many of the same assets and landmarks but rearranged.
• The Creature from the Black Lagoon as a killer.
• The Mummy (1932) as a killer.
• The Invisible Man (1933) as a killer.
• A werewolf as a killer:
  • Lawrence Talbot.
  • Eddie Quist.
  • David Kessler.
  • Ginger Fitzgerald.
  • A hybrid of Peter Stumppf (a man executed for being a serial killer who is thought to have had medical lycanthropy) and the Beast of Gevaudan.
• Booker DeWitt as a survivor, with the version of Jack from the first Bioshock's Bad Ending as a Killer named 'The Splicer.'
  • Booker's perks would be based on Vigors (Bucking Bronco, Shock Jockey, and Undertow are good candidates) and the Deflector Shield he gets from the Lutece Twins.
  • The Splicer would use his iconic Wrench as his weapon, his perks could based on various Tonics, and his power would be Electro-Bolt, with some add-ons replacing it with other Plasmids, like Incinerate or Cyclone Trap, while other add-ons are based on other Tonics. The Power would work as a Stance System, with Jack putting away his Wrench and holding up his left hand like in the first Bioshock, and the Splicer would have to pay attention to his EVE, as he only has a few fistfuls of lightning per EVE Hypo, and only three spare Hypos per match (though a few more can be found laying around the map, and while they can be destroyed by Survivors, they can also respawn after a bit). Some add-ons could decrease Electro-Bolt's EVE cost, increase how many Hypos the Splicer starts with, increase how many extra Hypos can be found, or how fast they respawn.
  • Rapture and Columbia both serving as realms, with the later's Hooks being based on the Freight Hooks that are used to get around Columbia at certain points in Infinite.
• Both Good and Evil Cole MacGrath as a Survivor and Killer, respectively, with their Conduit powers playing into perks and the latter's Power. Evil Cole's nickname would either be The Infamous or The Beast.
  • Empire City and/or New Marias as realms.
• Cassie Hack from Hack/Slash as a survivor.
  • With the healing factor that she temporarily got from Samhain's blood playing a role in one of her perks.
  • She will be the start of a new category of survivor who CAN directly fight back against killers and even rescue other survivors from killers.
• Rick O'Connell from The Mummy (1999) as a survivor.
  • With either Imhotep, the Scorpion King, or the Dragon Emperor as a Killer.
• Fiddlesticks as a Killer. Using its ability to mimic sounds to trick Survivors into coming near, then striking with a burst of speed.
  • We’d better get Teemo as a Survivor, then.
• The original incarnation of Godzilla as a Mechanically Unusual Fighter revolving around his titanic size, as Godzilla (1954) was more of a horror movie than the later sequels to the film.
  • Daisuke Serizawa as a Survivor.
  • Alternatively, it could be the version from Godzilla Minus One, as that version's being actively seeking to harm humanity seems to play in its favor.
• Chloe Decker as a Survivor and Malcolm Graham as a Killer.
• Hannibal Lecter as a Killer.
• Kamen Rider Ouja as a Killer.
• Tom Dubois as a survivor.
• Gilles de Rais (a.k.a. Caster) as a Killer. The Fate Series by itself has no shortage of horrifying figures to pick from, but no doubt Caster Gilles takes one of the top spots for the most twisted.
  • Irisviel von Einzbern as a Survivor.
• Adelaide Wilson as a Survivor and Red as a Killer.
• Isaac Clarke as a Survivor, and The Hunter as a Killer, with the USG Ishimura as a realm.
  • To avoid possible confusion with the Huntress, the Hunter will be known as The Abomination.
    • Or simply The Necromorph.
• The Ginosaji as a Joke Character. He'd have a Death of a Thousand Cuts playstyle, needing a lot of attacks just to take one health state off a survivor.
  • Well, it certainly worked well for the Trickster...
  • Sure, he sounds easy to avoid, but the Ginosaji could have an Obsession perk that makes him constantly see the aura of one Survivor, and attacking the Obsession slows them down just enough to get in as many hits as possible. And this also applies to any Survivors that try to stop the Ginosaji. He can’t be stopped, and that spoon keeps dealing damage…
• Keeping in line with ideas for famous Killers, Jeff the Killer himself. Considering that his main ability is his abnormal strength. One of his Perks could let him rip doors off of lockers, rendering them useless to Survivors for a while, or even having him go into a rage where he drops his knife and downs Survivors with a single punch (because killing with one punch is a bit too overpowered, even for Jeff).
  • Also, I do recall that Jeff also has inhuman speed, which can also play a role in his power or perks.
  • Alternatively, Jeff could be a skin for the Legion.
• Sonic.EXE as a Killer.
  • Alternatively, an expy of Sonic.EXE as a Killer.
    • Speedy.AVI? Jeff the Killer is one thing, but that is quite another. Might be Jossed.
    • Alternatively, the Tails Doll as a Killer.
• Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon
  • Leslie Vernon as a killer.
  • Taylor Gentry as a survivor.
• Channel Zero
  • Joseph Peach, Robert Peach, or Alice Woods as a killer with Zoe Woods, Luke Vancyzk or Louise Lispector as a survivor.
  • Pretzel Jack or Tall Boy as a killer with Jillian or Tom Hodgson as a survivor.
• Alan Wake
  • Alan Wake as a survivor. Obviously, he would have a perk that makes flashlights more powerful and/or longer-lasting.
    • Confirmed! And one of his perks even increases his speed when using flashlights.
  • Mr. Scratch as a killer.
• Tucker & Dale vs. Evil
  • Dale and/or Tucker as survivors, with Chad as a killer.
• Crypt TV
  • In the event that Behaviour decide to do a full Crypt TV chapter.
    • Aponi as a killer, with Rebecca Baker as a survivor.
    • Catherine/Fluffy as a killer, with Eva as a survivor.
    • Carrie as a survivor, with either The Brute or Lexi/Woe Bones as a killer.
    • Shelley Carter as a killer.
    • Evie Grayson or Thurston Polk as a survivor.
    • Taylor as a survivor.
    • Olivia as a survivor or a killer (as the new Kinderfänger)
    • Alice as a survivor with The Brute or Norman Kane as a killer.
    • Look-See as a killer, with Raymond as a survivor. Also a good way to get James A. Janisse into the game.
    • The last one’s already been heavily Jossed before it could even happen, the Look-See is a Legendary outfit for The Doctor.
• Sweeney Todd as a killer, with Johanna, Anthony, Mrs. Lovett or (an older version of) Toby as a survivor.
• Brand New Cherry Flavor
  • Lisa Nova as a survivor with Boro/Mary as a killer.
• Spooky's Jump Scare Mansion
  • Spooky herself as a Killer, wielding the axe that she gives to the protagonist. Her power is summoning Specimen 1 in front of the closest Survivor, stunning them for a short time.
  • Doug (or any random GL Labs worker) as a Survivor.
  • Specimen 9 as a Killer. Its power involves finding and taking dead bodies scattered around the map in order to turn into its boss form, where it’s able to summon hands to grab Survivors.
• SCP Foundation:
  • SCP-173 - The Sculpture - as a killer.
  • SCP-049 - Plague Doctor - as a killer.
  • SCP-096 - The "Shy Guy" - as a mechanically unusual killer.
  • SCP-106 - The Old Man - as a killer.

  • SCP-999, the Tickle Monster, as a mechanically unusual survivor.
  • An instance of SCP-1471-A as a survivor.
    • With Dr. Jack Bright as a killer. But we all know WHY he’s after 1471-A…
    • I don't know, I see Jack as more of a Survivor.
  • A member of the Chaos Insurgency as a killer.
  • A member of the Global Occult Coalition as a killer.
  • SCP-682 - The Hard-to-Destroy Reptile - as a Killer.
• Alright, screw it: The Fiend as a Killer.
  • With Daniel Bryan as a Survivor. Why not?
• I'll do you one better; John Cena as a survivor, Undertaker as another survivor, and two crazed fans of the two as separate killers.
  • I’ll do YOU one better: Chris Benoit. As a Killer. And Owen Hart as a Survivor.
  • That works too. Chris Benoit’s DBD power could be steroids.
• The Impostor as a Killer. No, really.
  • With a Crewmate as a survivor, perhaps.
  • The map is MIRA HQ, with The Skeld serving as one of the Exit Gates.
    • With the increasingly silly naming and design of the Skull Merchant, and the Impostor getting a chase-theme-like song in the Hide & Seek mode, the Impostor seems very likely as a Killer now.
• Amanda Moon as a villain. Mabel as a Survivor. Lusst'ghaa as a map.
• What would a slasher video game hall of fame be without what is sometimes cited as the Ur-Example for video games: Clock Tower?
  • Scissorman is the obvious killer choice with Jennifer as the obvious survivor. Clock Tower 3 even has its own stable of killers empowered by dark entities (who could at least make good Legendary skins for existing killers), including Sledgehammer, Corroder, Chopper, the Scissortwins, or even the Dark Gentleman.
• Madison as a Survivor, with Gabriel as a Killer.
  • Or perhaps, given the nature of their relationship, and the difficulty that would likely come from trying to create two separate characters from this scenario, just Gabriel as a Killer.
• Granny from the video game of the same name as a killer.
• Let’s get nuts: Super Mario as a Survivor.
  • Bonus map: the Mushroom Kingdom at night.
  • With Bowser as a killer.
  • And the Chain Chomp as another killer.
• Let’s get even nuttier: Red and Blue from Dick Figures as Mechanically Unusual Fighter survivors.
  • Y’know who’d make a really silly yet also amazing Killer/Survivor pair? Flippy.
• The Pyro as a Killer.
  • I’ll do you one better: An Entity-corrupted Scout as a killer.
    • Here’s more fuel for the Pyro fire; Pyroland (or, as everyone else sees it, the burning town from Meet the Pyro) as a Realm would be interesting, since certain areas could be blocked off to Survivors until they extinguish the flames. Plus, the Pyro’s perks could be “Fireproof”, which lets Killers pass through burning areas without being slowed down as much, “Dreams of Cruelty”, which lets the Killer see the Survivors’ aura for every fire that gets extinguished, and “Inferno”, which lets the Killer burn a Generator, dealing damage to it over time. The Pyro’s Memento Mori is easily made, too; he picks the Survivor up, pulls out the Scorch Shot, and shoots them point-blank in the face.
  • The Horseless Headless Horsemann as a Killer.
  • Alternatively, the RED Spy as a Killer and the BLU Engineer as a Survivor.
• Sadako Yamamura as a Killer.

  • With Dr. Zomboss as a Killer.
    • Or perhaps a Gargantaur as a Killer.
    • Awesomely over-the-top idea, but I'll do you one better: A Zomboni as a Mechanically Unusual Fighter sort of killer.
• Baldi as a Killer.
  • I'll do you one better: Baldi as a killer, as well as Playtime, an Entity-corrupted Principal of the Thing, Arts and Crafters, an Entity-corrupted Gotta Sweep, the Bully, an Entity-corrupted 1st Prize, An Entity-corrupted Filename2, an Entity corrupted Cloudy Copter, Chalkles, an Entity-corrupted Beans, an Entity-corrupted Mrs. Pomp, and the creepy weirdo known as "The Test" who has also been corrupted by the Entity as separate killers.
    • Doing one better again: Filename2 would be a Survivor, as he’s technically the only well-meaning person you meet in the game that DOESN’T help Baldi get closer to you in some way.
    • That actually makes sense. Filename2 could be a Mechanically Unusual Fighter survivor, as he could use his power to be in games he’s not supposed to be in in order to summon weapons for other survivors to defend themselves.
• RoboCop as a Mechanically Unusual Fighter survivor.
  • With an Entity-corrupted ED-209 as a killer.
• Doomguy as a Mechanically Unusual Fighter survivor. Unfortunately, he’ll be slightly weakened by the Entity due to The Entity’s reality warping powers.
  • With a Cyberdemon as a killer.
  • And a Hell Knight as another killer.

  • Let me guess: potential killers include Zoda, Blood Falcon, Black Shadow, and Deathborn?
• Sonic The Hedgehog as a Mechanically Unusual Fighter survivor.
  • With Dr. Eggman / Dr. Robotnik as a killer. You decide which one.

• Pikachu as a Mechanically Unusual Fighter survivor.
  • Obviously comes with a member of Team Rocket as a killer.

  • Alternatively, Kris as either a Survivor or a Killer. You decide.
• A Terrorist and Counter-Terrorist from Counter-Strike as a Killer and Survivor, respectively.
• The scrapped killers The Teacher and The Smasher as killers, resentful that they developers would not let them be in the finished product at first.
  • The Teacher’s power is obviously the Trapple, which can be placed on a generator to stun the next Survivor who works on it, and the Smasher’s power is breaking down ANY part of the map for around 10 seconds.
    • Actually, coming back, the Teacher was just a joke at the expense of dataminers, so… Just the Smasher.

  • With Molester Moon as a Killer.

• Danny Fenton/Danny Phantom as a Mechanically Unusual Fighter survivor.
• The Robot Chicken himself as a Mechanically Unusual Fighter survivor.
• Billie Eilish as a survivor.

• Deena Johnson and Sam Fraser as survivors with The Camp Nightwing Killer as...well, a killer.

  • Bonus points if the included map takes place in Hinamizawa.
  • Keiichi, Rika, and Rena will be made in the game's more realistic artstyle, but the promotional material will display them with the artstyle of the Higurashi Gou anime, and each come with Legendary cosmetic sets that give them models similar to their anime artstyles as well.
• Shinichi Izumi and Migi as a Mechanically Unusual Fighter survivor with Gotou as a killer.
• Tetsuo Shima as a killer, who will end up being one of the more powerful killers in the game, but will balance this out in his moveset with frequently needing to take Capsules to keep his psychic powers in check. Otherwise, he will gradually receive more and more debuffs.
  • His map would be an Entity-corrupted version of the 2020 Olympics Stadium.
• Oh, I’m going to get shot for this one, but… Reggie the Mouse as a Survivor. Warning: VERY NSFW.

  • Watanabe as a Survivor.
  • Archon's Roost as a new map.

  • Mad Cow Mike J as a killer.
  • Alternatively, Postal Dude from good paths as a survivor, with Postal Dude from bad paths as a killer.
• Dragon Ball: Bulma, Oolong, or even Yamcha as Survivors.
  • Mercenary Tao (Taopaipai), General Blue, Demon King Piccolo, Tambourine, Pirate Robot, Cui, Garlic Jr., Pui Pui, and Imperfect Cell as potential Killers.
  • Possibly a crossover with Dragon Ball: The Breakers, with Cell or Frieza not using their powers out of sadism. They have a bar that represents their patience and can instantly win the game if filled by blinding them or hitting them with pallets. They're very slow as a balance. Bulma is added as a Survivor. Perhaps Claudette, Dwight, and a Killer are added to The Breakers for cross-promotion.
• Andre Toulon as a Killer. His melee attack is done by Blade being held in his hand, while his unique power let him place other notable puppets (Pinhead, Leech Woman, Torch, etc.) around the map to entrap Survivors.

  • DJ-Sparta, a.k.a.“The Liar”, a Killer with a passion for acting. His weapon of choice is a prop knife, which has a razor blade embedded in its handle. His power is “Falsehood”, which allows him to take on the form of a Survivor.
  • Jack David, aka "The Pasimuno", a Killer who is obsessed with Filipino extreme nationalism. His weapon of choice is a Kampilan, a type of Filipino sword that looks like a fantasy sword. His power is Mob Mentality, where he summons a small horde of his followers (nine of them) to help him attack survivors. Five of them are armed with machetes, and the other four are armed with shotguns.
• Here’s an idea: Brightburn-style versions of superheroes (Based VERY loosely on said superheroes) as killers. Anyone can add their own guesses.
  • A female Air Force pilot who gains Flying Brick powers and energy absorption and projection as well as never ages thanks to a magical crystal from her extra-terrestrial boyfriend joins an alien empire… and she’s willfully racist against humans in the most violent way possible. (Based very loosely on Carol Danvers/Captain Marvel.)
    • A human who used to idolize this ace pilot as a survivor.
  • A photographer who, during a visit to a local science lab, gets bitten by one of the animals that they were experimenting on, obtaining its abilities… and slowly deteriorates to a state of feral behaviour. (Based a little less loosely on Peter Parker/Spider-Man.)
  • An alien man with superhuman strength, speed, durability, and leap as well as self-sustenance X-ray vision, laser vision, flight, electric scream, and firebreath who is dangerously Yandere for his journalist girlfriend. (Based on Superman. Think “What if Supes was raised by Yandere-Chan?”.)
  • A teenage girl who has Flying Brick powers and immortality thanks to being a Demi-goddess… and she uses those abilities, as well as a magic lasso that makes sapient beings tell the truth no matter how literally painful the process is for each individual, to slaughter anyone who wronged her no matter how minor (What if a school shooter had Wonder Woman-like powers?).
  • A young boy who lost his parents to an assassin at an alleyway... and after picking up the gun the assassin drops and shooting him out of sheer revenge, he blames all of society for his parent's death. So he learns martial arts, science, and investigative skills from his ex-MI6 butler, and he used his skills to turn his home city into a police state (Based on Batman).
    • The reporter girlfriend as a survivor.
• A vampire Nazi battleship as a Mechanically Unusual Fighter killer. And it will be one of the scariest killers in the game.
• A Frankenstein car as a Mechanically Unusual Fighter killer.
• A werewolf helicopter as a Mechanically Unusual Fighter killer.
• A pig-chicken-dog hybrid made of titanium as a killer.
• A Karen made of video game pixels as a killer.
• A Karen made of smoke as a killer.
• A Karen made of neon as a killer.
• A Karen made of concrete as a killer.
• A male Karen made of electricity as a killer.
• A male Karen made of ice as a killer.
• A male Karen made of fire as a killer.
• A demonically-possessed baseball bat as a killer.
• A pistol possessed by a corrupt angel as a killer.
• A hockey stick possessed by a long-dead hockey player who, when he was alive, killed several of his fans for being "ungrateful" and died in prison, as a killer.
• A deranged firefighter who slaughtered his colleagues as a killer.
• A homicidal paramedic who kills due to PTSD from losing too many patients as a killer.
• One of the scariest Killers in the game, one of the scariest Killers in the game, as one of the scariest Killers in the game. And, being one of the scariest Killers in the game, he’ll be one of the scariest Killers in the game.
• Your uncle as a Killer.
• A penguin/monster truck hybrid as a Killer.
• A horse as a Killer.

Other WMGs

The Entity is a general God of Hope.

This is the reason why Hope seems to be a major theme of the game. Hope of the survivors that every escape will be the that finally releases them, or every death will be the final one; and Hope for the killers, as each of them give sacrifice to the Entity to give them power and/or easing of their pain. The Entity runs entirely on Blue-and-Orange Morality, being either good or evil depending on the morality the beings worshiping it and the amount of will they possess. Unfortunately, the beings right now worshiping are a gaggle of murderous psychopaths, so the chances of the Entity being nice in any way are relatively slim......

The Entity is a True Fae from Changeling: The Lost

Kidnaps people, check. Places them in treacherous games, check. Feeds (awards bloodpoints) for creativity and excitement, check and mate.

How each of the Killers first encountered the Entity.

In the universe of the game, worship of the Entity seems to be rather widespread despite it being unknown to the general populace, possibly taking several different forms and denominations, even hiding under the guise of an offshoot of a mainstream religion. From this common source, it is easy to guess how each Killer found themselves doing the bidding of the Entity.

• Both the Wraith and the Hag come from communities that directly worship the Entity as a God while the Huntress must have picked up the religion from her mother, all three having already been acquainted with the being's kind and compassionate side, and then resorting to more violent and murderous worship as they went insane. The three continue to seek guidance from the Entity as they continually kill the survivors. While the Hag and Wraith did so in order to seek solace, the Hag from her horrifying experiences that led to her becoming what she is now, and the Wraith, ironically, to help ease his own guilt of being an unintentional mafia hitman, the Huntress merely saw it as her chance to actually gain some benefit from her hobby of hunting down fellow humans for fun.

• The Trapper more than likely picked up the religion from the workers that the Estate had hired, fully devoting himself to the darker aspects of the religion after the infamous mass murder he committed and subsequently killed his father. Same could said about the Nurse, who in life might have treated a couple of patients who worshiped the Entity to help them through their time in the asylum, and picked up after her murder spree.

• The Hillbilly, Leatherface, and Michael Myers were people with stunted intelligence, the first two due to a birth defect and the latter due to his sociopathic tendencies and lack of professional help to curb it. Because of their simple minds, the Entity might have been able to ensnare all three to do its bidding despite them not knowing anything about it. It was especially prevalent with Leatherface, as the Entity merely manipulated his intense fear of everything into serving it.

• The Doctor found out about the Entity after hearing one of his victims speaking of it and decided to torture them for further information, finding about the power and knowledge it could grant him. He is the only killer to worship the Entity for purely selfish gain.

• As for Freddy Kruger? The Entity may very well be one of his benefactors, the Dream Demons, or a newfound partner who's proven to be the most helpful and like-minded ally he's ever had.
  • Or it could be tied to the Necronomicon, as there are two Freddy Kruger gloves seen in Evil Dead 2 (one in the work shed, one in the fruit cellar). This indicates that Freddy may have been at the Knowby cabin at some point and encountered the Necronomicon (as he was seen dragging Jason's mask into Hell in Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday, and that film features the Necronomicon).
  • Quentin Smith's backstory implies that he summoned the Entity, or at least that it came in response to his ardent wish to see Freddy gone from their world forever.

There will be a special game mode where survivors CAN directly fight back against the killers.

It will have gameplay similar to Resident Evil for anyone playing as a survivor.

• This mode will have a new character category called "saviors". Saviors have to protect other survivors from the killer, and there can only be one savior in a game. It is possible for the savior to be killed, of course, but a more durable than survivors, and can of course fight back, even having their own weapons and add-on-modifiable powers, as well as perks geared towards the sort of role they'd play. They'ed be in first person, like the killers.

  • Cassie Hack - she hunts down and kills serial killers and monsters, so she'd definitely be fine with hunting down and killing the Killers.

  • Billy Butcher from the comics (Yes, from the comics, so he gets his Compound V superhuman strength and durability for this).
  • Bounty Hunter Patty Mayo as a survivor— His weapons can be his extendable baton which can stun killers for 3 seconds, an assault rifle that fires pepper rounds that can stun killers for 9 seconds, and a shotgun loaded with rubber bullets that can stun killers for 13 seconds.
  • Deputy Patty Mayo as a survivor— His weapons can be his taser which can stun killers for 5 seconds, a pistol with live ammunition that can stun killers for 20 seconds, and his third and final perk could be deputizing survivors and giving them a walkie talkie so they can contact him (seeing each other's auras so they can help each other) and a pistol that can stun killers for 3 seconds.

The game takes place After the End...

• ...of The Cabin in the Woods. The Entity is one of the old Gods who still wanted some entertainment, so he reached back in time and started pulling victims and victimizers into its realm. Death is not an escape, because there is literally nothing left to escape too.
  • Since the Old Gods are a metaphor for set-in-their-ways horror movie fans who will tear apart any movie that deviates from their expectations, the Entity represents another of their behaviors: clinging to the past.

The killers and survivors have backstory involving each other

There are several survivors who appear in a killer's movie; Laurie Strode was the protagonist of Halloween and Michael Myers the antagonist, Quentin Smith was Deuteragonist of A Nightmare on Elm Street (2010) and Freddy Krueger the antagonist, and David Tapp was a heroic character in Saw where Amanda Young was experiencing her Start of Darkness. Judging by the pattern of introduction with these three examples, we can speculate the following characters also appeared in the same "movie" in backstory:

• Nea Karlsson with The Nurse;

• Ace Visconti with The Hag;

• Feng Min with The Doctor;

• David King with The Huntress.

The killers were almost definitely the Big Bad - or considering Amanda, at least a villain - of their "movies". The survivors might've been the protagonists of these movies, like Laurie - or maybe secondary heroic characters or allies to The Hero, like Tapp and Quentin, respectively (though Nea and Feng stand higher chances of having been the main protagonists of their "movies," given the Final Girl stereotype). Bill Overbeck and Leatherface (Leatherface) don't fit the pattern of villains and heroes from the same movie introduced together, but we can assume either a character from the same movie is offscreen or yet to debut, or they might just cancel each other out.

That leaves The Trapper, The Wraith, and The Hillbilly, with Dwight Fairfield, Meg Thomas, Claudette Morel, and Jake Park all unaccounted for in terms of a matching killer. As the survivors share a similar backstory of disappearing into the woods and The Trapper's level is the only place with woods, it's possible they all came from the same "movie" - especially since they were introduced together in the same way the above examples were. Maybe The Wraith and Hillbilly didn't have interesting characters in their "movies."

• Perhaps Mikaela Reid was the Wraith’s corresponding survivor for his “movie”.

A future DLC will add firearms for the survivors to use

However, the challenge is that ammunition is scarce, meaning that survivors will have to conserve their ammunition.

A future DLC will add melee weapons for the survivors to use

However, the killers can pick them up too, so as to keep them away from the Survivors.

Or alternatively, there will be a balanced way for both survivors and killers to use any such obtainable melee weapons in a hypothetical DLC.

• There would be unique perks with the weapons.
  • Survivors get their own new perks that the killers won't get with such weapon perks being shared among survivors when picking up said weapon.
  • Killers get their own new perks that the survivors won't get with such weapon perks being shared among the killers when picking up said weapon. That way, both sides will have their own benefits that go with wielding the weapons that can be picked up.

A future DLC will give the survivors their own signature weapons of choice to use

As a Good Counterpart to the Killers' signature weapons.

• To balance this out, the survivors' signature weapons would have their own perks to go with them, while the killers' signature weapons get their own perks to go with them.
  • If this happens, then Steve better get his nail bat.
  • Exactly. Other examples include:
    • An assault rifle for Left 4 Dead's Bill.
    • A chainsaw hand for Evil Dead's Ash Williams.
    • Halloween's Laurie Strode gets her own kitchen knife because Laurie Strode once used a kitchen knife to defend herself against Michael and the Entity loves to even the odds.
    • Saw's David Tapp gets his police pistol.
    • Stranger Things' Nancy Wheeler gets a Smith and Wesson 10 revolver.
    • If Benedict Baker becomes a playable survivor and this WMG comes true, his weapon would be an 1800's revolver.
    • Cheryl Mason's weapon of choice would be a pipe.

The Entity is a Beast.

And all the Killers are Slashers The Entity has formed Kinships with. The Entity's realm is of course their Lair, all of it, with various new maps being added as the Entity's Lair increases and they incorporate different parts of the world associated with their Kinships.The Entity themselves is an Ugallu Predator who primarily feeds off of watching their Slasher kin hunting humans they've trapped in their lair, while the killers are as follows;

• The Trapper and Micheal Myers are Masks.
• Freddy Kruger, The Wraith, and The Hag are Legends, with the latter two having started as Avengers.
• The Hillbilly, The Huntress, and Leatherface are Freaks.
• The Nurse is a Psycho.
• The Doctor and Amanda Young are Geniuses.
• As an add-on, I'll say the Clown is a Genius too, since he's primarily using chemicals, traps, and wishes to kill others to add to his collection of things. He's probably friends with the Entity's human identity, since they work together for his mechanics.
• The Plague is actually not a Slasher, but a Fire-Touched who refuses to shapeshift during the religious ceremony of a match.

If Benedict Baker becomes playable...

• It will be a new game mode, where he hunts down the Killers.
  • His time spent dealing with them has made him one of them, but not in the way expected.
    • Would be a nice reversal. Unlike the other survivors his prey would be able to effectively fight back.

• Alternatively, all that time in the Entity’s realm caused Benedict Baker to snap and he’s a playable killer.
  • A killer called “The Survivor.”

• Alternatively, Benedict Baker is still a survivor, but he provides weapons and/or methods of fighting back to other survivors via perks.

Alternatively, if Benedict Baker does become playable, he will be a reinforcement to help other survivors as he can fight back against the killers.

• He can only be contacted by survivors using either an old 1800's phone or 1800's radio.
  • The other survivors can use this old technology because the Entity granted them that knowledge.
    • To balance things out, the killers can destroy the phone or radio to prevent the other survivors from contacting Benedict Baker.

Basically Tommy Jarvis from 'Friday the 13th: The Game''.

The survivor that comes with the Ringmaster is a clown

I believe the devs said no to a killer clown due to that hitting a little too close to home to real life fears, but they never said anything about a clown survivor. It would be a nice subversion with a thematic link to the villain.

• Given they added a clown, Jossed; the Clown is a killer, his Survivor is a singer, to tie with their mutual theme of birds.
  • For extra Jossing; that survivor was found in the game files as far back as the Freddy Krueger leak.

The Entity is Pennywise.

Both are beings with similar Modus operandi and have an apparently spider like true form. And Drawing at straws but “(Dead) by Day(Light.)”

There will eventually be a less humanoid killer.

With beings like the Velociraptors from Jurassic Park and the Xenomorphs there is certainly precedent for a bestial killer. And they may be easier for The Entity to control.

• The xenomorph could definitely work as a Killer.
• Confirmed; the Demogorgon from Stranger Things has been added.
  • Extra confirmed with the Dredge.
    • Once again, confirmed with the Singularity.
    • And now we have the Xenomorph itself.

The Entity doesn't snag its victims and killers entirely, it snags COPIES of their victims and killers.

This would account how characters like Leatherface and Michael Myers are in the Entity's Realm while they also continue to exist in their respected realities. This also explains both Michael and Laurie still looking like their 1970s appearances, as Michael and Laurie continued to live past that Halloween night in 1978 in all various sequels (including the upcoming Halloween film to be released in October 2018, as well as the original Halloween II, which was originally meant to be the end of Michael, but was brought back and in a coma at the start of Halloween IV).

• Seems to be jossed, as several backstories mention that the related character had disappeared.
  • This could strictly apply to the licensed DLC characters like Leatherface, Michael Myers and Ash Williams, while the game's original survivors and characters may have simply been removed from their realities.
    • Plus, one might argue that, as the Entity is a interdimensional being, it could easily create new dimensions through time paradoxes or kidnap versions of said characters from dimensions where (not all of) the events of their stories actually takes place (specially now, given that Nicolas Cage himself is a character).

The Dead By Daylight story takes place in a multiverse

• Confirmed, somewhat: the Entity is an omniversal being. Which means it can grab people from ANY universe.

The game is a test for the KILLERS, not the survivors.

The Entity wants to find or make the perfect killer to let loose on the world. Accordingly, it is bringing killers into its world to test them, and has captured humans with a strong desire to live, lots of experience in deadly situations, good survival instincts, or all of the above. The Entity throws obstacles in the killers' way — survivors can heal, help each other, etc. — to give the killers more of a challenge.

Why no one talks in the Entity's Realm

Why don't the survivors talk to each other to help escape faster or when waking each other up, or the killers talk to their victims to taunt them (especially more sadistic killers, like Freddy)? Either:

• They've all spent so much time in the Entity's realm that no one sees a point to it anymore and they just go through the motions without bothering or even remembering how to talk, or,
• They literally can't speak in the Entity's realm. After all, real spiders don't have vocal cords and the Entity is a spider-like Eldritch Abomination. Maybe speech is such a foreign concept to it, that speech is impossible in its realm or it purposefully took speech from its victims because it couldn't understand them anyway.

Either way, yikes, poor survivors don't even get that comfort.

• Survivors talk at the campfire — how else would Teachable Perks work? — but in the matches they've learned that speaking only alerts the killers faster. Alternatively, they're in a kind of "no-exit hell-is-other-people" mode and they don't want conversation.

Well, except for Nicolas Cage.

• Jossed. The Plague speaks in her native language when praying in her Mori, and Ash Williams has some dialogue here and there. Also, the Trickster, Nemesis and Pinhead all speak during gameplay (Trickster speaks when throwing his knives, Nemesis speaks when killing Chris Redfield or Jill Valentine, and Pinhead speaks during his Mori and when the Lament Configuration is being opened by a Survivor).

Also, Nicolas Cage talks non-stop during the trial. So does Chucky.

The Entity is pregnant.

The "Purge" event that occurs once a year and the "Blight" that The Entity goes through is actually her yearly reproductive cycle. Once a year, she produces grotesque growths with flowers on them that are actually her eggs. She needs her eggs to be pollinated for them to develop properly into babies and hatch. So, she entices survivors and killers to collect nectar from her flowers so that they can be pollinated. Once her eggs fully develop and hatch, she will send out her little "Entity Babies" out to feed on hope and fear throughout other parts of the universe.

• Adding to the WMG about the Entity being Pennywise himself/a nod to him Pennywise/IT himself was pregnant in the novel's end.

The Killers are Sealed Evil in a Can

The Entity has summoned the killers to its domain to take them out of the real world. The survivors are there to distract and/or amuse the killers so they won't turn on the Entity itself (there's probably overlap with Sealed Evil in a Duel in some cases), while the Entity puts the survivors through its test and feeds on their emotions so it will remain strong enough to keep the prison running.

• Probably Jossed; Pinhead’s arrival sees him being able to take Survivors to Hell, and his backstory states that he wasn’t even supposed to be in the Entity’s realm.
  • Even more Jossed; in the same announcement, the Stranger Things content is getting removed for those who haven’t bought it by the end of the year, which also means Steve and Nancy are going home, and the Demogorgon is breaking out.

The Entity is only pulling survivors into its domain to prevent the killers from targeting other innocent people outside said domain. In other words, the Entity believes it is sacrificing a few people in order to save millions more.

Fairly jossed since it's confirmed said Entity literally feeds on pain and suffering, so even if it was the case, it'd have to prey on someone or something anyway. It could a case of Noble Demon but the Entity literally spends thousand of (at least human) years of kidnapping (check off humans like Vittorio Toscano, who lived in the middle ages) and apparently takes killers before they could really become dangerous (example: Carmina Mora/The Artist)

YOU'RE The Entity

You're the one putting the Survivors through this, and forcing - or setting up - the Killers to kill them. It's you who plucks them away from the safety of the campfire for your amusement, you sick, twisted, evil bastard.^note Yes, I play this game myself

As for why The Entity eats the survivor when you lose, if it's you? You're eating a loss.^note Or maybe it's/you're just not eating them, and are instead just taking them away for the next game, but then I wouldn't get to make a Sans-tier pun...

There will be a new gameplay mode which portrays an all-out war between survivors and killers.

If a connection to the plot of The Cabin in the Woods is revealed, the accompanying new Killer will be the most unspeakably, mind-wreckingly horrible monster mentioned in the film...

KEVIN.

Freddy's power:

Now that Freddy is confirmed, speculation on his power may commence!

• Disguising himself as a survivor. Just like Leatherface is so much like the Hillbilly, Freddy shares the Wraith's stealth playstyle, appearing to be a fellow survivor until he de-cloaks and lays the smackdown.
  • Jossed. Freddy's power in this game is to put people into the dream world after making them sleep.

A future DLC will make a straight-up crossover between Dead By Daylight and Mortal Kombat.

• With the Legendary skins that change a Killer's entire model, this possibility has become more likely.
  • Scorpion, the face of Mortal Kombat, as a skin for the Deathslinger. Just to hear him tell a Survivor to "GET OVER HERE!"
  • Kotal Kahn (in his Blood God variation) as a skin for the Oni. A big guy empowered by the blood of his victims and his furious rage.
  • Dark Raiden as a skin for the Doctor. The power of lightning exposes Survivors to his fury.
  • Mileena as a skin for the Hag. Her teleportation and cannibalistic tendencies, plus her terrifying jaws, make her a natural fit.
  • Reptile as a skin for the Wraith. Both of them can turn invisible. You decide whether it’s the classic Reptile, the modern Reptile, or the New Era Reptile.

The Dead By Daylight Killers and Survivors may someday guest star in other games outside Dead By Daylight.

• Confirmed! The Trapper appears in For Honor and Move or Die (along with the Huntress and Blight in the latter), and the Deathslinger appears in Player Unknowns Battlegrounds.

A future installment would be a straight-up crossover with Brightburn

• With the plot being Brandon trying to encourage the Killers to form a truce with him and his fellow supervillains and help him overthrow The Entity.
  • Alternatively, a war between the Killers and the Supervillains, with the survivors and possibly even superheroes caught in the middle.

The Observer is Ash Williams

Thus explaining why his voice clips play sometimes when you visit the Archives.

• Partially Jossed; Ash is in the game as a Survivor.

The Entity is one of The Dark Powers.

• It's pulled the killers out of normal reality and into an inescapable recurring hunt-stalk-kill, but their victims never truly die (and indeed, they are forced under most conditions not to kill them personally, instead letting the Entity do it). This is rather an Ironic Hell for many of these characters, who love killing. Essentially, the game all takes place in one very bizarre Domain, the killers as a whole are its Darklord, and to escape they would have to accept that killing is wrong and help the survivors truly survive and escape. . . but if any of them were capable of that, they wouldn't have become Darklords in the first place. It's heavily implied the Dark Powers can reach out and pluck anyone from anywhere in the multiverse, even from worlds not normally connected to the Dungeons & Dragons cosmology. Like, say, our world. And the survivors, locked in the endless cycle of painful, torturous death? Just another example for how the Dark Powers don't give a shit about the people living in the cans with their sealed evils.

By letting in the forces of Silent Hill, The Entity has undermined it's own power.

Silent Hill itself is a supernatural force of undetermined, but considerable, power.And by letting another power into its realm, The Entity has made a mistake.

It's implied that Silent Hill, despite its harshness, is not fully malevolent and tries to teach the ones drawn into it a lesson, letting them go if they succeed.This would likely make it at odds with The Entity and its sadistic, emotion eating, game.

Incensed at The Entity taking its things for its own use, Silent Hill has turned them into Trojan Horses of sorts.

While Cheryl Mason can control The Entity to a certain extent, Pyramid Head is unknowingly (or perhaps purposely) weakening the Entity's Realm by carving his trails in the ground. And Silent Hill can further its influence trough its own map.

All the Survivors need to do now is Hold the Line and not lose hope.

• Possibly confirmed with the release of Pinhead, and the upcoming removal of the Stranger Things chapter; by allowing Pyramid Head to enter, the Entity has let its barriers weaken, allowing the Cenobite access to ALL of his powers (yes, that includes taking people to Hell). And when Steve, Nancy and the Demogorgon vanish from the realm, the Survivors would notice this, and start working on an escape plan. Soon, the Entity will be usurped by one of the Killers, and only time will tell what happens…
  • And now half-Jossed. The Entity has grabbed Steve, Nancy, AND the Demogorgon once more.

The Entity is Death.

• Or rather, Death is a manifestation of the Entity attempting to expand its understanding of the human world. It creates a system with arbitrary rules, similar to the game, in order to give the survivors false hope while manipulating them into situations where they can be killed. It uses these Rube Goldberg-esque situations as a way to experiment with everyday objects in order to make its realm more convincing, and then takes the people it kills as new Survivors.
  • Or, y’know, the Entity is Death. Straight up.

The reason why even the most tragic of Killers goes after the survivors is because The Entity tortures or mind rapes Killers when they are unwilling to follow its demands.

• Essentially, the individuals who the Entity brings in all have a history of murder, whether it was intentional or not. However, not every Killer has much of a reason to actively participate in the Entity’s game. The Wraith is a good example; he was horrified upon realizing he had killed a bunch of innocent people, and only murdered his boss in a fit of rage. So why would he, otherwise a normal man, be willing to kill the Survivors? He wouldn’t, so the Entity tortures or mutilates Killers that are unwilling to follow its rules.
  • All of the Guest Killers, who are already established murderers in their own franchises (Freddy Krueger, Michael Myers, etc), act and look virtually the same way they usually do, because they don’t need to be convinced to murder the Survivors.
  • Interestingly, when a Killer was previously involved in tragic events that could make them even mildly sympathetic, they seem to become more physically mutilated or distorted and emotionally unstable (The Spirit, The Oni, The Wraith), likely because the Entity is literally forcing them to do what it wants by reminding them of their past pain. It’s likely that they are trapped in the moments of pain they felt previously; The Oni is filled with the rage he felt towards the lord when he murdered him, The Spirit is fueled by revenge for her mother, and The Wraith is angered by his boss’s betrayal at the moment he killed him.
  • The Legion is a special case; 3/4 of its members technically didn’t murder anyone, but were brought in by association, so their punishment is their current state of being.
  • Individuals like The Clown, The Doctor, ie. people who had already willingly murdered people of their own volition or due to circumstances outside of the Entity’s doing, don’t need too much convincing to murder others; therefore, they still look and act the same as they always have, with any changes being due to their own twisted mind.
  • Religious characters such as The Hag and The Plague are willing to follow the Entity’s orders due to a mix of their devotion to the Entity as a deity and earlier trauma of being surrounded by death and horror.
  • As for the individuals with very tenuous grasps on reality, may not be fully competent, or individuals who don’t have any real motivation to go along with the Entity’s plans, such as The Nurse, The Hillbilly, and The Deathslinger, it’s not too much of a stretch to assume that the Entity was able to convince them to continue their murders in other ways.

The Entity is a demon-angel hybrid.

Chapter 18

Recently, Behaviour Interactive has released a teaser for the next chapter, and there have been a few suggestions being thrown around. Let's try and predict which it is before they reveal which it is.

• An original chapter.
  • A zombie.
• A licensed chapter: While we'd probably tell if it was a licensed chapter from the trademarks, keep in mind that the teaser for the Saw chapter had no such trademarks before its reveal. It could be:
  • An Until Dawn chapter. The visuals of the teaser and the limb that we see is very similar to the Wendigo, and the tweet quote they used seems to fit in line with Until Dawn as a whole.
• All Jossed; it’s a French woman and her conjoined twin brother, who works as a controllable extra obstacle for the Survivors.

The reason why The Spirit is NOT intangible despite being a ghost is because the Entity took that power away from her so as not to make it too easy for her to kill survivors.

Alternatively, The Spirit IS still intangible, it's simply not shown because of Gameplay Story Segregation.

It's VERY hard to complete that special effect for a video game, plus it would be hard to balance it.

The Resident Evil Chapter

Meta-wise, The Twins/Charlotte and Victor Deshayes were inspired by the sexual dimorphism of the anglerfish

Male anglerfish are much tinier than female anglerfish. During the mating process, the male's body fuses to the much larger female's body. In some anglerfish species, even their circulatory systems connect, and the male becomes entirely dependent on its mate for nutrients. Obviously, Charlotte and Victor's relationship isn't a sexual one (thank god), but like a male anglerfish, Victor is permanently fused to his sister's body and needs her to take care of him. Anglerfish are also deep-sea fish that live in the dark depths of the ocean, much like Charlotte and Victor who had to stay hidden in darkness when they were alive, hiding from witch hunters. Finally, while this might be a stretch, a couple of their add-ons are associated with light (i.e. an anglerfish's lure), namely the Ceremonial Candelabrum and the Iridescent Pendant.

The Entity is a Deity of Human Origin.

Dead by Daylight takes place in the same universe as Clock Tower 3

An all-powerful dark Entity finds corruptible people and turns them into immortal serial Killers (some of which are inspired by pre-existing killers). This stable of varied Killers is encountered one at a time while trapped in realms based on their most iconic murders, with the target of the Killer only able to run, hide, or at best temporarily stun the Killer until they have completed another objective and escape the level. If the previous WMG turned out to be true, even the origin of the Entities would be the same. All we need is a Rooder and maybe the Dead by Daylight Killers would start to have something to run from.

Yun-Jin was very close to being turned into a killer

As proven with Spirit, a direct bodycount isn't needed for someone to be turned into a killer - the right amount of hatred and desire to kill directed at one person when close to death is just enough to be taken. With Yun-Jin, her final moments before being taken by the Entity had her hatred and desire to make Ji-Woon suffer for murdering her friends and ruining her career consume her, with the Entity even promising to give her a stage of her own with adoring fans - not unlike what it used to draw Ji-Woon into the realm. The only reason she even became a survivor was because unlike Spirit's father, Ji-Woon was seconds away from killing her and didn't have time to get away - alongside his irredeemable deeds making him a more fitting candidate for a new killer.

We’ll be getting an original Killer without a corresponding Survivor

Mikaela Reid is the first original Survivor without a Killer, and so far every Survivor-less Killer/Killer-less Survivor has been a licensed character. We should be expecting a Killer with no Survivor soon.

We’ll get two new survivors to replace Nancy and Steve, and a new killer to replace The Demogorgon. Guesses can be added here.

• A 20-something waiter and his young sister as survivors. A murderous chef as a killer.
• Rebecca Chambers and Billy Coen from Resident Evil 0 as survivors. Complete with Ship Tease. And James Marcus as a killer.
  • Jossed, since Rebecca is in Project W.
• Kyle Breyer and his wife Tori Breyer from Brightburn as survivors. With Brandon Breyer as a killer.
• Two FBI agents as survivors. With the serial killer they were tracking down as a killer.
• A bride and groom as survivors, with the groom’s jealous rival as a killer.
  • It appears that the Skull Merchant (stupid name, I know) and the Lyra siblings are going to be the replacements for the Stranger Things characters.
• Sorry, all Jossed. Stranger Things is back.

If Stranger Things returns to the game, Vecna will be made into a Killer

• It will have to be after Season 5, though his Mori would involve the way he killed his victims in Season 4, breaking each of their bones and melting their eyes.
  • That Mori is actually possible, seeing as the Singularity rips off its victims’ faces in its Mori.
    • Jossed. Stranger Things is back, but there’s no sign of Vecna.

The Entity is the same species as It

• Both are emotion eating Eldritch Abomination creatures who specialize in cresting illusionary forms to instil peak fear in their prey. Perhaps The Entity is the elder form of the species, which has grown to the point it can grab its own realm and endless food supply instead of having to personally hunt like the younger It.

Shadman secretly gave the developers advice on designing the Skull Merchant.

The Entity creates the costumes for all of its human, non-licensed Killers.

• Although the earlier Killers look pretty amazing, the Entity’s losing its ability to keep making the costumes look 'good' (see the Skull Merchant).

Linkin Park's "Crawl" will become Skull Merchant's theme song if she ever gets a spin-off game.

If the leaks are true, End Transmission is actually a licensed chapter for Meet Your Maker.

• You can call it “original” all you want, but the Singularity is a Meet Your Maker representative.

The Survivors will have brand new voice lines added to them for use in the Trials.

• If Nicolas Cage can rattle off with different quips about why the Killer should let him go as he’s being carried to a Hook, then other characters will be able to say things too.

Jesse Faden will be a Legendary Skin for Alan Wake

• Jossed for the moment: Wake has two Legendary Skins upon release, but they're Saga and Rose.
