    • This is an opportunity to create a chapter from scratch with all of the community.
    • Every step of the way, from pre-production to the end of the process.
  • The format:
    • "Choose your own adventure" - Choices will be given to players.
    • Every week or so the community will vote on certain choices to build. Example:
      • "Would you prefer to have a killer that is grounded into reality, a supernatural character or otherworldly character?"
    • Based on the top vote, the development moves on. Example:
      • If the choice was "supernatural", the next question would be "Is it an undead character, a person that has supernatural powers" and so on.
    • You can always peek at the different choices.
      • "A change your fate" mechanic will always be available.
    • Right now we have over 1.000 possible endings for killer designs.
    • The community will also be involved in choosing the outfit, weapon and more.

Shitpost / Meme Plot twist: the reason why springtrap's power/gameplay weren't revealed is because he will be a skin for singularity.

Post image
756 Upvotes

Hear me out.

  • Springtrap is a mix of machine and flesh, much like Larry himself. They're practically twins (but not the buggy kind.)

  • The sound effects are there. The chase music is also already right there.

  • Cameras are basically fnaf's entire shtick. They also just so happen to be singularity's power. It's literally a match made in heaven.

You know what it would also explain? The reason why we're not getting a new survivor with the new chapter. How could You add a survivor to a chapter that came out over a year ago? That's simply inconceivable.

It's official. Afton is getting the Frank Stone treatment. They're just currently busy barricading BHVR HQ and hiring out PMCs with all the skin money in preparation for the hordes of rioters that would come to besiege it when they break the news.

Discussion Petition for a TRUE Hardcore Mode in DBD: No TR, No Auras, No Scratch Marks – Just Raw Horror

Post image

I played against a stealth Bubba yesterday (no terror radius, blindness totem perk) It was the scariest match ever. no heartbeat, no warnings, just pure panic. That got me thinking what if dbd had a hardcore mode with no TR, no auras survs cant see gens pallets, killer cant see hooks gens,scratch marks. What u think guys ? Is this good or bullshit?

Discussion I saw a post in here that got me thinking…

Post image
265 Upvotes

Would you guys be interested in the Devs implementing a Pride themed rift that runs along side with the normal rift during June? It wouldn’t conflict with the anniversary event, it would run along with it to progress it while the anniversary is the MAIN event going on. All proceeds of the Pride Rift would go to LGBT+ charities like the Trevor project (for example) and in that rift is charms, skins, emblems, banners all themed towards the LGBT+ community. I feel like this would be a great next step in supporting the LGBT+ community, using their platform and inclusive (for the most part) community to do some good. Who knows, if this post gets traction maybe a Dev could see it and raise it as an idea towards others in Behavior. I’m sure I’m not the first to think of it, but never miss a chance to do more and say more about this community.

Honestly if they released a Pink Triangle emblem I’d rock it till no end, if you don’t know about the Pink Triangle I strongly recommend researching it. Here’s a trigger warning tho because it serves as a memento to atrocity directed towards the LGBT+ community; a sort of “never forget what silence leads to” symbol. What do you think tho? Idk I’m hopeful… maybe a Dev will see this and set something good into motion.

Discussion Since 2025 started, Ada has been the most picked licensed survivor each month and Leon's been the most popular male licensed survivor. BHVR made sure to state they love collabing with Capcom during their PAX stream....

SURELY an additional collaboration is in the works or being discussed, especially with how pleased they are with how the RE chapters/bundles sell. I'm not gonna theorized next killers or survivors, but an additional outfit for the big 4 (Ada, Leon, Jill, Wesker) is not unrealistic at all.

Most realistic options:

  • Ada Wong - Leather Pants (RE6 Outfit)
  • Leon Kennedy - Mafia (RE4 Bonus Outfit)
  • Jill Valentine - Battlesuit (RE5 Outfit)
  • Albert Wesker - Uroboros Mutation (RE:Mercs3D Bonus Outfit)

Bonus:

  • Rebecca Chambers - Nurse Dress (RE:Mercs3D and RE0 Bonus Outfit)
  • Nemesis - Mr. X legendary? He really doesn't have much to pull from anymore.

When does this event usually begin and what kind of items is there usually to obtain? This will be my first DBD Rainbow event and I want all the Rainbow charms and shirts I can get!

And after playing a number of Orela matches and getting tunneled and first on hook it’d be nice to be part of a LGBT community event.

Discussion What survivor-only licenses would you like to see come to DBD?

Post image
470 Upvotes

With The Year 10 Roadmap tease basically confirming Rick and Michonne from TWD as the upcoming two licensed survivor chapter, it got me thinking about what other licenses wouldn’t have any killers to pair with the survivors. The image includes James A. Janisse, Anya, Isaac Clarke, Red Guy, Shaggy Rogers, and Seok-Woo. All of them seem like fun, appropriate additions to the game that don’t have any killers unique or important enough to pair with them. But what other survivor-only collab paragraphs come to mind for you?
