A new teaser for Dead by Daylight has been released. A new killer is coming soon and the first theories sound plausible.
Almost every three months, the asymmetrical horror game Dead by Daylight releases a new chapter and thus a new killer. A new teaser has now been released on Twitter, providing the first hints.
A killer who is drawn to the light: The teaser shows an image along with the words: “In a time of darkness, some seek a light to follow.”
The corresponding image seems to show a religious-looking object, possibly an incense burner. There are also some golden reliefs that suggest a spiritual environment.
What is already known about the killer: A few details about the killer are already known. The developers have revealed that the latest killer would be “the oldest killer so far.” Whether this refers to the character’s age or just the era from which the killer originates is still unclear.
It also seems confirmed that the killer is a woman, as one of the developers accidentally referred to the killer as “she” during a stream. However, this could also have been intentional confusion.
These theories exist: The currently prevailing theory seems to be that the killer is Aicha Kandicha, a figure from Moroccan tales. She is a demon who appears as a beautiful woman with animal legs, lures men into a trap, and then kills them or drives them insane.
This conclusion is drawn by some players on Reddit, who analyze the image closely and try to draw parallels between reality and the shown image.
Another theory is that the killer is the “Nun” from the 2018 film “The Nun.” This would also be plausible and fits the religious setting. Furthermore, there hasn’t been a licensed killer in a while – something that Dead by Daylight has regularly wanted to bring.
A final theory is that the killer is a “Mothman” – as what else would seek a light to follow? However, this is more of a meme and shouldn’t be taken too seriously. But maybe Dead by Daylight will surprise us here.
It will surely take some days before the killer is completely revealed and then playable on the PTR.
What do you think, who will be the latest killer in Dead by Daylight? Which killer would you like to see in the game?
Dead by Daylight is also coming to the Switch – even if this raises doubts among fans.
