A new teaser for Dead by Daylight is causing a stir. Is a cruel Samurai killer coming? Or is it the eerie “Slit Faced Woman”?
Just in time for Gamescom, Dead by Daylight has revealed a new teaser that introduces the next chapter of the 4vs1 horror game. It will be named “First Cut” and will feature a Samurai – at least that’s the impression it gives. However, the community is expecting a very different killer: the eerie “Slit Mouth Woman”.
Killers usually don’t speak. The community is skeptical about the Samurai, as it would not fit with the style of Dead by Daylight. Especially since killers haven’t spoken before. Fans assume that the trailer only shows how the killer was “created”. By the way, for those interested in the Samurai’s words, a few fans have roughly translated his phrases:
“It is futile, my dear daughter. We are born to die. The longer we wait, the more pain we bear.”
Who is the “Slit Mouth Woman”? The “woman with the slit mouth” is a figure from numerous Japanese ghost stories. According to legend, she was a beautiful woman who was admired by all. However, she cheated on her husband, a Samurai, who then disfigured her with a sword and cut her mouth wide open.
Since then, the woman wanders the world as a serial killer, asking people, “Am I pretty?” If the answer is “No,” she kills them with scissors. If the answer is “Yes,” she takes off her mask and repeats the question. If the answer is again “Yes,” she also cuts the victim’s mouth open. If the answer is “No,” she splits them in two. A rather gruesome ghost story – typically Japanese.
Which killer it ultimately will be, we will probably see in a few hours, as the test server for the new killer is expected to go online and reveal more to us.
Are you looking forward to a new killer? What is your guess – will it be the Samurai or the horror woman?
