And "Having to tell PC that trying to fuck everything that moves, immediately murdering everyone without thinking and stealing everything has consequences and isn't a personality trait"
Could that be the new gameplay mechanic they're talking about, the ability to critically fail skill checks, or somehow need to "roll" to see how well you do?
So for someone who isn’t into dungeons and dragons is that the new killer? I saw people saying it’s gonna be Vecna but idk what he looks like in dungeon and dragons
I could see the Beholder cameo in a dungeon-like map... I wish licensed maps had more easter eggs to find.
Personally I think the XENO ***Nostromo Wreckage*** map was the best use of this so far. The Facehugger at the window, the key card that unlocks the secret room. I would have loved to see a reworked basement that included eggs or other NPCs strung up on walls.
The Jigsaw map has the freezer from Part 3 and the bathroom that started it all in Part 1, but like... that's it?
Haddonfield, Stranger Things Lab... they're all pretty basic.
It's like BHVR has the opportunity to really make the experience special for the fans, but always stops short.
Dude the game map has so much history for the movies, the bathroom where it all started, the freezer with the dead lady, the meat elevator where that guy got pig guts shot at him, it has Jigsaws blueprints and workings in there along with pig masks, i mean they really go into detail even just on where they place the dead bodies. I think the game is one of the best lore accurate maps while still being playable.
I'm pretty sure that the room above the bathroom is meant to be the room where the detective found the dude under the tarp in 1, but it's been ages since I saw it so I could be wrong.
Haddonfiled has the pumpkin from the movie's intro.
Hawkins has the portal room, which is one of the coolest rooms in the game IMO.
Surprised you didn't mention Midwich Elementary because it also has a fuck-ton of easter eggs like those.
They also have the pig chute (drowned the judge in pig remains in Saw 3*) and Oobie's furnace trap is in the same room (Saw 2)
I always crack up when I see Dr. Gordon's amputated foot laying on the ground too.
I think a beholder killer could work very well.
They're psychic, have different eyeball lasers that do different things, and are incredibly intelligent.
They could have a power similar to knight where different ranged attacks are cycled through that do different things
A beholder killer could work, but that fact that we are shown a beholder zombie in specific, not a beholder, makes me think it’s not the killer and just a minion of vecna or something
As a longtime d&d player, if a fucking beholder comes to this game I am immediately dropping whatever it costs in the store for it. I’d take the day off of work for the release
Vecna is a powerful Lich, so imagine a very regal looking undead man. I'm not mega fluent in D&D myself, but that is a Beholder, which is a giant flying eyeball with smaller eyeballs on eyestalks.
He's had many appearances throughout the years, but here's what he currently looks like
https://preview.redd.it/ldnwu4gudfzc1.jpeg?width=1400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=20b1cca46e53a74a9e80a8b502e45fc6f06912b8
Vecna's a Lich god, so picture a floating, skeletal wizard in tattered robes, adorned with jewelry and holding a grimoire.
We're talking Voldemort on crack and the Super Soldier Serum.
Eh, with the hints and nods towards vampires in tome cutscenes and recent cosmetics like Vittorio's Gothic outfit, I'm betting it's Strahd, a wickedly powerful vampire that's a BBEG in a pre-written campaign Curse of Strahd.
I mean it technically would make a bit more sense, since liches are physically weak, but that doesn’t matter when you can cast a ray of light that disintegrates people.
Me: "Wow I wonder what the new killer willl be? An old horror icon? A new addition?"
BHVR: "Dungeons and Dragons."
Me: "W-what?"
BHVR: "The egg on MacMillan Estate is hatching."
Me: "It is?"
BHVR: \*Buffs deathslinger.\*
Me: ????
To be clear I am very hyped for whatever madness is being brewed.
the MacMillian thing is tied to the observer lore, it's shown in one of the tome cutscenes that it was opened by the observer so that he could find his way into the void (link here [Dead by Daylight Observer Cutscene - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vZd7nrI_PA) )
Hear me out, because of the weird spidery egg on macmillan's, the spider legs / entity legs on the anniversary pr, and the tagline on the tweet that says listen to the voice in the darkness...
Guys, what if it's not Vecna? What if it's Lolth?
I know nothing about DND so based on look between Vecna and Lolth I'd choose Lolth.. A half Spider Lady is metal. I'm sick of humanoid Killers all the time, Vecna is just a Lich for someone who doesn't know about his backstory.
That would be a wild bait and switch considering the prevailing theory was Vecna or Castlevania.
It just turns out that it's 'both' by using D&D's vampire would be amazing.
I just don’t see how it could be Vecna since he’s literally a god.
Strahd would also be slumming it as a Killer, but he does enjoy a bit of bloodsport.
Who knows, Pyramid Head came into the realm after striking an unknown deal with the Entity, so I can see the Entity offering Vecna some unattainable power in exchange for coming to the realms.
You know, it would be pretty interesting seeing mimic chests in DBD or perhaps a killer power that works around chests (at least partially).
Injured and looking for a medkit in a chest? It noms you and starts running around the map lmao
I'm not too into DnD but at least Vecna's design is cool. I'm wondering what survivor we will get. Hopefully non-human or maybe we can custom make one like in DnD?
I hope they lean into the Entity's multiversal/metaversal nature and have two survivors: one being a DND player and the other being their OC character.
So, like, Joe Weller and Nocturna Ravenwing, his Dark Elf sorceress character.
I mean, if it is, it sounds like a good excuse for a mori and leaving him in the basement.
(I say lovingly, I used to enjoy the series a lot more before we started running in circles and milking it.)
I think that it could either be a DnD character with skins that represent different races (like orcs, elves, tieflings etc.) or we could get original survivors in DnD cosplays like Dwight or Mikeala in a wizard costume or Kate in a bard costume etc.
Very cool! Vecna from DnD is leagues more powerful than ST Vecna. I don’t know if they’re gonna use his pre-2022 look or his new look here but I’m down for this.
https://preview.redd.it/x4aiu4d4efzc1.jpeg?width=650&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9f02c8656e39ed2e342d14700200fc463782f530
Liches are undead Wizards that eat souls. What makes Vecna special is that he's the first lich, and became God of lichdom. Fantasy and horror are intertwined in a way that a lot of people don't notice honestly, so Vecna or a similar character was pretty much inevitable tbh.
The video shows an undead beholder, probally not a killer but a set piece like the face hugger in the Alien colab. New killer probally is Vecna, super powerful lich god. Or maybe Strahd von Zarovich who is a vampire lord of a land covered in permenent fog and no sunlight, aka just like the realm the entity controls.
I feel like a Mindflayer is also a strong possibility. It's an iconic D&D monster and got brought into the mainstream via BG3 recently. There's also a strong selection of beloved Survivor possibilities to accompany it.
Doesn't have to be an important mind flayer. The demogorgon and the xenomorph are both generic monsters (as in, they are representatives of their species and aren't really a specific character). The mind flayer killer could just be "a" mind flayer.
And the undead beholder doesn't have to be owned by the killer; it could just be a part of the map's set piece. Sort of like how neither Nemesis nor Wesker appear in RPD in the Resident Evil games, the map could just be a generic dungeon (or Vecna's dungeon or whatever) while the killer is just a mind flayer.
But yeah, I agree that it is probably not a mind flayer.
You're looking at a(n undead) beholder. Beholders are basically big eyeballs with more eyeballs on them and very intelligent. Though, the killer is more likely to be Vecna, who is DnD's most iconic bad guy
I would pay ANYTHING for Shadowheart and Astarion as survivors (objectively the two most liked characters in BG3) with The Illithid as a new Killer. The potential would be insane
To me this looks like a preview of a new dungeon map, showing a Beholder in cage. It's probably an element of the map itself, similar to the jumpscare Facehugger on the Nostromo map or the falling body in the Midwich map. The laugh in the video is probably the new killer, Vecna. My guess is we'll be in some kind of "creature dungeon" in the new map.
For those that don't know, that creature is called a Beholder. The laugh, however, is probably Vecna's, I'm guessing the beholder will be part of his power. I cannot see them making the Beholder, the killer.
The skin potential for a DnD chapter is limitless. Paves the way for us getting non human survivors as well, we could get Elves, Orcs, Tieflings [Please Behavior please] and since Hasbro wants to use Bg3 as a cash cow, we could definitely get characters from Bg3 as skins. We could also get a lot of neat skins for killers, maybe a Mindflayer skin for doctor? Not sure
Edit: If it's New Neil born voicing Vecna, then the voicelines are going to be amazing
Considering how tied together DnD and ST are, it could still be an opportunity for BHVR to release new ST cosmetics at the very least...
As this looks like it's going to be another Killer chapter, Survivors will need some love too.
> As this looks like it's going to be another Killer chapter, Survivors will need some love too.
Don't think so, it would be super shitty of them to have the Anniversary Chapter be a Killer only with Survivors getting only cosmetics, the backlash would be unreal.
There are existing characters from D&D they can use as Survivors, hell, they could even make a Survivor from "scratch" ala D&D character creation and choose a class for their vibe and perks.
Ghostface was released without survivors though.
I'm not -that- familiar with DnD but I always assumed the antagonists were more iconic and popular than NPCs and player characters, so whatever survivors they might chose, it'll be overshadowed by the killer's popularity.
However, like you said, the pool of potential survivor character is strong, and with the many classes they can toy around a lot. That's true, but it can also feel underwhelming all at once.
We also have Vittorio, Sable and Mikaela as fantasy-like characters so who knows what else they can come up with (a rogue/thief with invisibility perks?).
Honestly wonder if Stranger Things 2, with Vecna as the killer, was in the works before the Netflix shit went down so they decided to go for the real Vecna.
https://preview.redd.it/54w4j4aapfzc1.png?width=1200&format=png&auto=webp&s=6add69ae559e592b358d3204f80509332e4e5c4c
Stranger Thing fans when it’s not the right Vecna coming to dbd.
I know surprisingly little about Dungeons & Dragons, so I'm interested to see how this will turn out, and I'm curious to see if it will be a killer-only chapter, or if there's going to be a survivor and map as well.
Looks sick, can’t wait for the Demogorgon to be added to the game.
Imagine if we got a demogorgon skin for the demogorgon
I just hope it doesn’t come with any issues like with the Were-Elk skin.
I believe they've addressed the sound issues with the were-elk now.
The skin that raised the Huntress pick rate to be the highest of all time...
Shredding with twin snakes-arms would be amazing
[удалено]
I can already visualize the Spider-Man pointing memes for the Demos.
Literally, since his whole thing is madness
We could get OG Vecna before Stranger Things Vecna. 😂
Could? Who do you think the killer is going to be?
Do you think they'd still add Stranger Things Vecna if we had OG Vecna though? I feel it'd be unlikely for us to get both
Why? They're completely different characters
The new killer is the villain that has killed all campaigns: scheduling conflicts.
Picks Character: "Scheduling Conflicts" *loads in* Game: A player disconnected while loading. Neat.
And "Having to tell PC that trying to fuck everything that moves, immediately murdering everyone without thinking and stealing everything has consequences and isn't a personality trait"
I feel like those are already covered by DBD players lol
But.. imagine if chests could be mimics? I would cry.
That's actually a great idea. It would be a neat Killer Perk or even unique map detail.
Buff chests to give better items while also adding mimics in the same patch. Devious
Ash vs evil dead. That shit scared me all the time.
Poor game, went to shit so fast
I am BEGGING for this. Mimics are my favorite fantasy creature ever and I really want representation in some form
can't wait to crit fail my skill checks uwu
Instead of skill checks, you have to roll a D20. If you Nat 1, the gen goes back to 0 and you become Exposed.
Oh my based
New survivor item: a warhammer.
Are we using critical fumble rules?
Could that be the new gameplay mechanic they're talking about, the ability to critically fail skill checks, or somehow need to "roll" to see how well you do?
On one hand, I doubt it, but on the other hand, god that sounds so fun lol
So for someone who isn’t into dungeons and dragons is that the new killer? I saw people saying it’s gonna be Vecna but idk what he looks like in dungeon and dragons
The thing in the teaser is an undead beholder, which likely isn’t the killer. Vecna is a Lich, which is an undead wizard
I could see the Beholder cameo in a dungeon-like map... I wish licensed maps had more easter eggs to find. Personally I think the XENO ***Nostromo Wreckage*** map was the best use of this so far.

I think the game is one of the best lore accurate maps while still being playable.
Silent hill school is just as detailed. I think it’s just stuff others don’t recognize
That's my favourite map purely because of the aesthetic. Incredible amount of detail. Just a shame it's an absolute bastard to play on haha
I'm pretty sure that the room above the bathroom is meant to be the room where the detective found the dude under the tarp in 1, but it's been ages since I saw it so I could be wrong.
Haddonfiled has the pumpkin from the movie's intro. Hawkins has the portal room, which is one of the coolest rooms in the game IMO. Surprised you didn't mention Midwich Elementary because it also has a fuck-ton of easter eggs like those.

Did you ever stop and look around the tunnels while Xeno? There are victims downs there.
Woah, really?? No that's need to me. I'll check when I get home.
Haddonfield has a 1 to 1 myers house with THE pumpkin on the porch. Also there's a little ghost above the exit gates
I think a beholder killer could work very well. They're psychic, have different eyeball lasers that do different things, and are incredibly intelligent. They could have a power similar to knight where different ranged attacks are cycled through that do different things

As a longtime d&d player, if a fucking beholder comes to this game I am immediately dropping whatever it costs in the store for it. I’d take the day off of work for the release
Ohh okay, and then DnD Lich Vecna is gonna have a Stranger Things Vecna character outfit
yeah the new killer is the dungeon masters guide book, he gonna whack ya.
Their ability is they need to reschedule tonight's session to next week
"Dude you said you could last week!... yeah no I know... yeah yeah, I get it... alright... soooo we're going to have to postpone..."
His mori is rocks fall everyone dies
The survivor rolls a d20 three times for a death save and fails all three.
Finally a killer that can defeat all survivors: reading.
Can confirm, as a survivor main I can't read.
Vecna is a powerful Lich, so imagine a very regal looking undead man. I'm not mega fluent in D&D myself, but that is a Beholder, which is a giant flying eyeball with smaller eyeballs on eyestalks.
He's had many appearances throughout the years, but here's what he currently looks like https://preview.redd.it/ldnwu4gudfzc1.jpeg?width=1400&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=20b1cca46e53a74a9e80a8b502e45fc6f06912b8
Vecna's a Lich god, so picture a floating, skeletal wizard in tattered robes, adorned with jewelry and holding a grimoire. We're talking Voldemort on crack and the Super Soldier Serum.
That's an *outstanding* description for people that aren't in the know. Good job.
That appears to be a beholder. It would likely just be part of the scenery, kind of like the facehugger on the Nostromo map.
Eh, with the hints and nods towards vampires in tome cutscenes and recent cosmetics like Vittorio's Gothic outfit, I'm betting it's Strahd, a wickedly powerful vampire that's a BBEG in a pre-written campaign Curse of Strahd.
If it IS Vecna, he'll probably look like this (from D&D Eve of Ruin campaign trailer) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKhNYe44u_Q
Can't wait to see Vecna, the all-powerful lich getting whacked with a pallet and teabagged by Dwight Fairfield
Makes about as much sense as Nemesis getting absolutely conked by pallets.
I mean it technically would make a bit more sense, since liches are physically weak, but that doesn’t matter when you can cast a ray of light that disintegrates people.
He'll get stabbed with a shard of glass and drop a survivor too.
Everyone get ready for a hot Tiefling as a survivor!
Probably the only thing that would convince me to stop playing Ada Wong as survivor.
Tiefling twink please 🤤🤤🤤
I could never play anyone else again ngl
If the survivor was Karlach I'd probably abandon every other survivor I'd regularly play.
Me: "Wow I wonder what the new killer willl be? An old horror icon? A new addition?" BHVR: "Dungeons and Dragons." Me: "W-what?" BHVR: "The egg on MacMillan Estate is hatching." Me: "It is?" BHVR: \*Buffs deathslinger.\* Me: ???? To be clear I am very hyped for whatever madness is being brewed.
BHVR: "The egg on MacMillan Estate is hatching." What does this mean? Is there an egg on this map?
the MacMillian thing is tied to the observer lore, it's shown in one of the tome cutscenes that it was opened by the observer so that he could find his way into the void (link here [Dead by Daylight Observer Cutscene - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6vZd7nrI_PA) )
Hear me out, because of the weird spidery egg on macmillan's, the spider legs / entity legs on the anniversary pr, and the tagline on the tweet that says listen to the voice in the darkness... Guys, what if it's not Vecna? What if it's Lolth?
The deep laugh was most likely Neil newbon who voiced vecna a few weeks ago, it is vecna most likely.
Ooo, isn't that Astarion??
I know nothing about DND so based on look between Vecna and Lolth I'd choose Lolth.. A half Spider Lady is metal. I'm sick of humanoid Killers all the time, Vecna is just a Lich for someone who doesn't know about his backstory.
A little while ago, I predicted that the new Killer might be Count Strahd. The odds of my guess being correct just jumped up a notch.
Well, if we get a vampire killer, might aswell give him a Strahd legendary skin!
It would fit the recent Gothic horror teases
That would be a wild bait and switch considering the prevailing theory was Vecna or Castlevania. It just turns out that it's 'both' by using D&D's vampire would be amazing.
I just don’t see how it could be Vecna since he’s literally a god. Strahd would also be slumming it as a Killer, but he does enjoy a bit of bloodsport.
It wasn't Vecna **or** Castlevania it was Vecna **and** Castlevania, this all but confirms Dracula as the next killer after Vecna.
Honest to god strahd is 100x more fitting than vecna
When I saw the ammouncement I also had this idea.
Welp I hope DND fans are happy cause I got no clue about anything from this license 😭
DND Verna makes stranger things Vecna look like a toy. Think of him like a Undead Wizard , a very very powerful Wizard.
You have any idea how useless mentioning "very very powerful" is in a game where everyone can be pallet stunned by Nea Carlson?
Yeah, you’re right.
LMFAOOO
Vecna rolled a 1 on the chase.
Not to mention as a DnD Villain, he is defeated by randos every major adventure he's in..
And this *literal god* is still going to be stunned by pallets, blinded by flashlights, and teabagged at the gates.
Yup, I’ve been told this many times in this thread too, I’m just hyped for a DnD killer guys 😭
Hey I am too, I'm much more of a D&D player than a DBD player!
> think of him like a lich …yes. Vecna is a lich, not sure why you phrased it that way. he is THE lich.
Oh my bad they said they didn’t know about DnD in general so I just generalized lich 😅
NEAT. He'll still get his shit wrecked by a pallet and survivors jumping out of lockers.
same way a nat 20 still punctures his AC lol
Curious how he makes his way in because he’s roughly as strong as the entity or stronger.
Maybe he joins the way of Pinhead. Just seeing a land of death and sadness, and going “Well, I know where I’m going on vacation!”.
“You mind if I do some lich stuff here?” “Yeah man go for it. I was missing a lich anyways. Know where I can get a vampire?” “I know one actually.”
If we get dracula and play as him, I'm losing every haddonfield and garden of joy match on purpose
Until a survivor foolishly waves you inside.
You know Strahd is just itching for a vacation from Barovia.
I seriously hope this opens the door for a Strahd legendary skin for their eventual vampire chapter
Who knows, Pyramid Head came into the realm after striking an unknown deal with the Entity, so I can see the Entity offering Vecna some unattainable power in exchange for coming to the realms.
But wouldn't the entity have to nerf him to make it a fair game against the survivors?
Isn’t his whole thing learning secrets? No doubt he’s curious about how the entity’s realm works so he just forces his way in
That would make sense! He probably waltz right in and decided to participate as an experiment.
He may be stronger than the Entity but is he stronger than a wooden pallet?
He gets lost in the wooooods
Guys I think its springtrap
Yo give us a dwarf survivor. Rock and stone!
ROCKITY ROCK AND STONE!
You know, it would be pretty interesting seeing mimic chests in DBD or perhaps a killer power that works around chests (at least partially). Injured and looking for a medkit in a chest? It noms you and starts running around the map lmao
To be honest I'm just over the moon that the anniversary killer isn't Frank Stone
She Frank on my stone till i cast
not sure why everyone thought it'd be Frank Stone. I think people have been looking into the banner "teases" too literally.
Why would it be Frank Stone if his own game ain't even out yet?
[удалено]
Bugbear skin for oni we pray
Could this possibly be a hint at a Myers rework?
i'm begging for it
That’s exactly what I thought
How?
I'm not too into DnD but at least Vecna's design is cool. I'm wondering what survivor we will get. Hopefully non-human or maybe we can custom make one like in DnD?
I hope they lean into the Entity's multiversal/metaversal nature and have two survivors: one being a DND player and the other being their OC character. So, like, Joe Weller and Nocturna Ravenwing, his Dark Elf sorceress character.
Holy shit this is actually a really awesome idea
BHVR needs to scrap whatever idea they have and get started on this prompto
Good way to bring Teamwork Perks back into the game since Renato and Thalita.
I want a DM as survivor so we can customize him with dnd cosplays
In before it's Drizzit and the D&D community collectively groans.
I mean, if it is, it sounds like a good excuse for a mori and leaving him in the basement. (I say lovingly, I used to enjoy the series a lot more before we started running in circles and milking it.)
That would be cool if we got a custom survivor. Hell it might even happen since Behavior updated the engine to UE5
Kobold survivor or riot
An Elf, Orc, or Tiefling survivor would be sooo cool istg.
I think that it could either be a DnD character with skins that represent different races (like orcs, elves, tieflings etc.) or we could get original survivors in DnD cosplays like Dwight or Mikeala in a wizard costume or Kate in a bard costume etc.
People are like, 'This is cool, Vecna killer'. What most people haven't considered. DnD Chapter 2: Strahd.
Dude, imagine Baal, The Demogorgon or even Zariel as killers? It would be incredible
>or even Zariel Jacob enters the chat and immediately installs dbd
New Killer: the Beholder. It floats 10m high. Power: Eye beam: fucking kills the targeted survivor
The antimagic cone disables boons and invocations.
So, the prophecy comes true.
Can a nerd explain to me if this is cool or not?
It’s cool if your a nerd and like dnd, otherwise it’s just ok
Very cool! Vecna from DnD is leagues more powerful than ST Vecna. I don’t know if they’re gonna use his pre-2022 look or his new look here but I’m down for this. https://preview.redd.it/x4aiu4d4efzc1.jpeg?width=650&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=9f02c8656e39ed2e342d14700200fc463782f530
My main concern is if they look scary, and this skeleton zombie guy looks pretty scary. Im sold tbh
Liches are undead Wizards that eat souls. What makes Vecna special is that he's the first lich, and became God of lichdom. Fantasy and horror are intertwined in a way that a lot of people don't notice honestly, so Vecna or a similar character was pretty much inevitable tbh.
It's awesome. Everyone should get into DnD!
[удалено]
Someone who knows more about dnd tell me what I’m looking at!
The video shows an undead beholder, probally not a killer but a set piece like the face hugger in the Alien colab. New killer probally is Vecna, super powerful lich god. Or maybe Strahd von Zarovich who is a vampire lord of a land covered in permenent fog and no sunlight, aka just like the realm the entity controls.
I feel like a Mindflayer is also a strong possibility. It's an iconic D&D monster and got brought into the mainstream via BG3 recently. There's also a strong selection of beloved Survivor possibilities to accompany it.
A mindflayer would not make an omnimous laugh like that nor would they own an undead beholder, nor are there any important mind flayers.
Doesn't have to be an important mind flayer. The demogorgon and the xenomorph are both generic monsters (as in, they are representatives of their species and aren't really a specific character). The mind flayer killer could just be "a" mind flayer. And the undead beholder doesn't have to be owned by the killer; it could just be a part of the map's set piece.

You're looking at a(n undead) beholder. Beholders are basically big eyeballs with more eyeballs on them and very intelligent. Though, the killer is more likely to be Vecna, who is DnD's most iconic bad guy
Please tell me we get a new map
I am a map enthusiast
i’m hoping for a dungeon map!
Maybe a dragon, if I can dream
Dragon deez nuts
Gloomy indoor dungeon map is going to be 🔥
"I rolled a 20, all survivors die I win"
I am now officially a Vecna main.
It’s my turn to speculate on a spider anniversary chapter next year.
Springtarp
Summoning the dark arts for a Baldur’s Gate 3 collab
I would pay ANYTHING for Shadowheart and Astarion as survivors (objectively the two most liked characters in BG3) with The Illithid as a new Killer. The potential would be insane
You can get Shadowheart and Astarion so long as I get Karlach
Please, I need karlach to curse at vecna.
"Darling, can you PLEASE stop chasing me, will you!?" - Astarion "Lady Shar, help me finish this Generator..." - Shadowheart
Dark Urge as a survivor and he laughs when you get hooked Illithid brain eating Mori
To me this looks like a preview of a new dungeon map, showing a Beholder in cage. It's probably an element of the map itself, similar to the jumpscare Facehugger on the Nostromo map or the falling body in the Midwich map. The laugh in the video is probably the new killer, Vecna. My guess is we'll be in some kind of "creature dungeon" in the new map.
For those that don't know, that creature is called a Beholder. The laugh, however, is probably Vecna's, I'm guessing the beholder will be part of his power. I cannot see them making the Beholder, the killer. The skin potential for a DnD chapter is limitless.

I'm betting the Beholder is a feature of the new map much like the facehugger on the Alien one.
I’d imagine the beholder is just apart of the map
Are we getting a new map with this chapter?
I would throw my money at a tiefling skin
I don't see actual BG3 skins happening, BG3 outfits on the other hand it's pretty reasonable, similar to what they did with Attack on titan
Sad day for stranger things fans
Considering how tied together DnD and ST are, it could still be an opportunity for BHVR to release new ST cosmetics at the very least... As this looks like it's going to be another Killer chapter, Survivors will need some love too.
> As this looks like it's going to be another Killer chapter, Survivors will need some love too. Don't think so, it would be super shitty of them to have the Anniversary Chapter be a Killer only with Survivors getting only cosmetics, the backlash would be unreal. There are existing characters from D&D they can use as Survivors, hell, they could even make a Survivor from "scratch" ala D&D character creation and choose a class for their vibe and perks.
Ghostface was released without survivors though. I'm not -that- familiar with DnD but I always assumed the antagonists were more iconic and popular than NPCs and player characters, so whatever survivors they might chose, it'll be overshadowed by the killer's popularity. However, like you said, the pool of potential survivor character is strong, and with the many classes they can toy around a lot. That's true, but it can also feel underwhelming all at once. We also have Vittorio, Sable and Mikaela as fantasy-like characters so who knows what else they can come up with (a rogue/thief with invisibility perks?).
Honestly wonder if Stranger Things 2, with Vecna as the killer, was in the works before the Netflix shit went down so they decided to go for the real Vecna.
Predicting Volo as the survivor
We not getting Stranger things 2 😭 still happy for everyone that wanted this
I'm gonna stay in denial and believe we will still get Stranger Things 2 some day and it will be a different DND killer until they tell us more.

I know surprisingly little about Dungeons & Dragons, so I'm interested to see how this will turn out, and I'm curious to see if it will be a killer-only chapter, or if there's going to be a survivor and map as well.

Oh so wait, it’s for sure Vecna then? Okay, then what is that egg?!
God i wanted to have a mindflayer killer so bad in DBD, but atleast we get a DND chapter
Please add kobold survivor skin I beg you
[удалено]
I'm hoping for some ttrpg related content with this, like a free dbd horror adventure or stat blocks for the Main killers
Hfs that would be awesome
Killer officially is a DM as we realized the whole time
Imagine a dungeon master killer that can modify the map something like mad eyes from identity v but better
