They posted it on YouTube

[waxen island]

Thanks I'll look.

[fast dove]

Can’t wait for the new grimoire killer, looks like it’ll be cool as heck

If we ever get a Doom skin collab I could see the Kahn Makr from Doom Eternal being a nice legendary

[agile robin]

Fr

[lapis walrus]

Why are people so obsessed over music be? It's literally nothing special compared to the other ones

[dawn minnow]

music b sounds like imu's theme from one piece so it's something special to me

[tropic willow]

The other two were more plain than B it was the only one that had an ethereal sound to it

[gaunt dawn]

B embodies the essence of what the players are going for.

This is a divine larger than life being. Its mere presence should be of epic proportions. Like a symphony announcing loudly its arrival.

B embodies that perfectly

[lapis walrus]

B sounds like butt shit 😭

[plush elm]

Why is Grimoire closed?

[warm sundial]

ig it boils down to a lot of people's interpretation of what music is fitting for a divine killer would be

[tropic mulch]

I'm not sure how to feel about The Judgement being a ranged killer tbh

[warm sundial]

looking at the alternative tho, i can't picture a divine a killer throwing hands

weird but unique

[tropic mulch]

Wonder what it's power would've been had the flail won

[acoustic grove]

I wonder how the judgement is going to fit through doorways like on rpd and stuff

[tropic mulch]

Doesn't the Xenomorph Queen duck slightly to get through some doorways? Or am I making that up?

[fickle scarab]

We already had voted on the power before the weapon

[tropic mulch]

Ohhh, yeah, you're right. My bad

I pray this killer isn't annoying to play against when it first comes out, The First wasn't fun to go against

[fickle scarab]

First was fine he is just difficult to deal with for newer players

Just needed minor tweaks which is what he got

[tropic mulch]

I hated randomly getting hit by his power through the wall, it felt like I was playing against Rambo the way he was using his ability like a M60

[clear elm]

When is it coming out

[indigo abyss]

Around September or around December

[muted estuary]

Give us the option to filter out this killer, along with others

[fallen lichen]

Brother's asking to dodge a killer before it's even out. Early game whiner 😭 😭 😭

[proud marlin]

LMAO

[agile robin]

lol

[tropic willow]

Fr all he did was whine the other day and blocked everyone because he was proven wrong by everyone. Bro was saying it’s impossible to get great skill checks on xbox and i replied with like 3 videos of me getting greats in the span of 2 games on xbox since thats what i play on

[fallen lichen]

Who don't they have blocked at this point bro 😭

[brittle mason]

It is significantly harder to get greats on console though.

I think Xbox might be easier than PS5 for that, but still easier on PC.

[robust terrace]

this game should still be in beta let alone release

[fallen lichen]

Boy, SYBAU 💔

[mint lantern]

Boy, SABLE

@echo otter 🚫➡️ Your message content contains flagged text

[indigo abyss]

Really?

[tropic willow]

Harder maybe impossible though no. They specifically said it was impossible to get any

And i get them all the time so impossible is definitely not the case. I even got a tome challenge done for getting 18 of them done in only 3 matches before the tome changes

[gaunt dawn]

Id argue its near impossible on switch 1. There's like a whole 0.7 second delay

On switch 1 you hear it and if you press it right away you might get the tail end of it

[calm rain]

Sup- what we all talked about?

-# btw any new info?

[tropic willow]

I mean switch is different. Man was saying it about xbox the console i play on

Switch is just awful as a whole for modern games

[calm rain]

Meh

[tropic willow]

Shit cant even load fortnite most the time not even skins shit shows them as default skins surrounded by low poly meshes

[calm rain]

I am mix on console’s

Because I own all of em

[tropic willow]

Idk how it is on PS but xbox is fine

Alil delay but it’s manageable

[calm rain]

Gonna be honest- I do not like fortnight idk why.. but I just hate it

Anywho— any news about the killer?

[fickle scarab]

no

said there will be no news for a while I think

[tawny vortex]

the killer is actually angel from csm #gametheory

[main crypt]

I fucking hate Fortnite I could go off on this game…

I shake in rage when I think about fucking Fortnite

[calm rain]

I think for me it’s genetic hatred- that my theory at least

[gaunt dawn]

Switch 2 is so much better its not even funny. Honestly if anyone has a switch 1 unless they are collecting switches sell that thing and get a switch 2

[gaunt dawn]

Yeah. Basically everything has been voted for now. They arent doing the last wave of voting in favor of keeping their schedule

That being said. I really hope they nail the voice for judgement down

I have strong opinions on how judgment should sound

And I think it should speak latin

[tropic willow]

I play pokemon so i aint selling mine even if get a switch two. Got my scarlet and violets un updated to abuse a pokemon and item dupe glitch they patched awhile ago lol

[gaunt dawn]

Thats unnecessary honestly. What could you possibly need to dupe that can't be easily gotten?

Very few things tbh.

I did system transfer.

I still keep my switch 1 but thats because Im insane and a collector

[topaz linden]

I have to hold onto my switch in case I ever play Brawlhalla again XD

[onyx oxide]

I'm working on some cosmetic art for the killer. Aiming for a more angelic design.

What sort of features are you guys looking for / felt were missing from the original design?

[fickle scarab]

An emphasis on puppetry and strings

Its something I really liked about the one that lost especially

[tropic willow]

Safari balls

[fallen hemlock]

Do we know if the Killer is gonna cost auric cells or just iridescent shards?

[tropic willow]

It is my fav ball and they have a lower catch rate so keeping them fully stocked while theyre a rare ball makes the dupe glitch a must

[tropic willow]

Both all original killers are available for both same with survivors

<@&480465015267262484>

Only licensed characters are exclusively cells. And the only exclusively shards are the community contest cosmetics

Well and Bill’s but thats a special case because of their deal with Valve

[fallen hemlock]

So the judgement is gonna cost iri shards because it’s not licensed?

[fickle scarab]

Yeah

[gaunt dawn]

Oh fun!

Well I had a very specific idea. Which has changed to try to adapt to what the killer turned into, trying to be flexible.

But if it was me I would give it gold and porcelain skin, almost perfect. Something similar to this but kind of different.

Imagine golden armor with white scapular and a a volto Venetian mask (the mask being a bit more gender neutral with black empty sockets)

The legs would be unseperated from the body and light would reminate from the body to them more like they were pillars.

[tropic willow]

You can get it for shards, cells, or just real money

[warm sundial]

Man.. i hope they release both survey skins

the multiple limbs on the body, eyes on legs- somewhat being biblical accurate

and the weird humanoid head

really like the one that lost on the killer skin survey

[gaunt dawn]

Me too

[fallen hemlock]

I think the how it would look walking would be cool is it like a spider walking but as it is now

[indigo abyss]

https://www.reddit.com/r/deadbydaylight/s/BfwKs1rYEe

[muted estuary]

Hopefully the option to not be in this killers lobby becomes a thing by then

[indigo abyss]

<@&480465015267262484>

[tardy ravine]

The amount of people who want to be able to skip this killer b4 theyve even released is crazy 😭

[vague crater]

they should kiss

[tropic willow]

You and me both. I preferred both designs that lost over the winners

[tropic willow]

Only person ive seen say they wanna skip it has been the person youre replying to say it over and over because they mentioned they cant hit great skill checks “because xbox latency” yet im over here hitting 3 in a row also on xbox. 😂

[tropic willow]

Yap yap yap. Learn to hit skill checks.

SICK!

[calm rain]

Holy Peak!

[calm rain]

Agree

Ya know.. this makes me like the killer skin more

[vague crater]

angel and nun toxic yuri when bhvr

[calm rain]

lol

[vague crater]

the killer was too obsessed with aurora and killed every other human to have it be only them fr fr

[calm rain]

Lmao

Now if you hade to rate this ship compared to others..
1/10

[main beacon]

What if I said something that was a word

[tropic willow]

?

https://tenor.com/view/heh-huh-what-gif-27102828

[main beacon]

What if the word was wordy

[surreal isle]

What if c-a-t really spelled dog?

[calm rain]

What’s happening-

[flat bison]

Grimoire

[tropic willow]

Your guess is as good as mine

[tropic bison]

Work in progress update for my ‘The Judgment’ cosmetic for Dead by Daylight.

X · May 17, 2026, 3:51 PM

[agile robin]

thats cool

[jolly snow]

still insane that the crab legs was picked 💀

that shit looks goofy as hell

so many ways to make angels menacing and they made urgot

[indigo abyss]

The silhouette was very good looking

I’d argue it’s the concept art that was a bit of a let down

Though I still have hopes it’ll look good in game

But it is to say that the legs are not at all inherently bad design

[mild flint]

this looks goofy as fuck to me.

[calm rain]

10 out of 10 I’d like that to win

[indigo abyss]

It’s a fan concept

[fickle scarab]

Holy shit

[echo folio]

It looks incredible 😍

[drowsy wharf]

Thank you all

[gaunt dawn]

Insane! I love it!

[indigo abyss]

Oh hey the Twitter person

Good job on this one

[calm rain]

Yoo w work btw dude for the art

[upbeat lantern]

kinda reminds me of mother mirandas spider form

[tropic willow]

I can see that yeah

[tropic willow]

The artist happened to comment too btw if didnt see lol

[tropic willow]

Did a good job. Youre gonna be in the same boat as me last year though having to wait a year to submit it tho sadly since they’ll be released after the anniversary. Since the two i did were for Sable and Unknown

[vapid quiver]

@unreal dune

[muted estuary]

Can we try out these votes again and go for a non ranged killer?

[indigo abyss]

No

[tropic willow]

https://tenor.com/view/wawawa-wah-wah-wa-wa-zo-zohran-gif-10785103349026305094

[muted estuary]

Good discussion

[plush elbow]

all ranged killers are slow now, so they aren't good

we need more of them

hell make them all 4.6m/s

[indigo abyss]

Unknown

Springtrap

That’s like 2 out of 4 main projectile killers

2 out 5 if you count Henry at which point you gotta be insane to call him weak

[fickle scarab]

Dracula is one of ths strongest killers in the game

[indigo abyss]

I assumed they meant projectile killers but yeah sure whatever

Count him in for a good measure

[gaunt dawn]

Dracula has an amazing travel ability

[fickle scarab]

Not really relevant

Oh you mean he isnt slow

[fallen lichen]

Holy shit they left

[calm rain]

He did?

Damn

[radiant grove]

Yeah

[topaz linden]

imagine if the eyes blink o.o

[plush ravine]

Will u think it will be Pennywise?

[marble plover]

yes

its confirmed

[quasi dragon]

its not confirmed

[jolly wyvern]

also people have been making comments that if you write through all the other marked dates but leave out the 13th, you literally get a 13

also june has 31 days when its not supposed to and 31 flipped is 13

[willow fog]

Hope it’s Jason and pennywise tbh especially for the 10th anniversary

[indigo abyss]

Yeah, no, not happening

[willow fog]

I said hope lol

[half stone]

i kinda hope it’s pennywise bcz it would have a very cool power i feel like

plus i loved the movies lmao

[supple sable]

frrr

[fickle scarab]

Clown's original power was going to be tied to balloons

If they add Pennywise maybe they will take inspiration from the concept

[indigo abyss]

Guys from dbd concept team used this idea and it was the goofiest thing ever

Just like every single one of the powers they came up with (except for Amnesia)

These guys are great I’m sure but my god were their concepts horrendous power wise

[gaunt dawn]

I have this conspiracy theory that the reason every killer has a twist to make them nonconformative is so they leave the option open for lisences.

Like, our alchemist is a junkie, he doesnt throw potions
Our clown doesnt really laugh (I mean he has like some weird cough, hes actually more of a freak, he throws bottles which IMO is more alchemist than our alchemist)
Our legion is one person (gameplay wise)
Our wraith isnt really a ghost
Our trickster doesnt do tricks.

etc.etc

[indigo abyss]

Why would they name a killer trickster if they wanted to add an actual trickster killer later on

Doesn’t that just make the things harder for them

Same for legion, same for wraith

[gaunt dawn]

early on they were just working with what they could program. You can actually see the development of the powers complexity as the roster ages

[indigo abyss]

What does this have to do with my question

[gaunt dawn]

because maybe at the time they thought "oh throwing knives is tricky" and thats the best they could do at the time

[indigo abyss]

How exactly does this connect to your conspiracy theory

[gaunt dawn]

It doesnt exactly but throwing knives doesnt seem very tricky to me, to me it would be like, tricking survivors, setting up traps or illuisions

[indigo abyss]

His name comes from his lore

Same as Skull Merchant

Or Chucky you could say

Artist too kinda? The only thing connecting her to art in game is the fact she uses ink

[gaunt dawn]

If I made a character I could write them however I wanted to. I could try to make sense of all my decisions too

Im not saying I dislike what theyve made

[calm rain]

The knifes ricochet seems very tricky

[gaunt dawn]

Im saying its not normative on purpose

[gaunt dawn]

but thats not the default power

[calm rain]

Fair-

[indigo abyss]

Like yeah sure a lot of killers in this game are unconventional and don’t follow the usual tropes

[gaunt dawn]

yes, thats all Im saying

[indigo abyss]

But to me it’s always seemed more like devs subverting expectations

Them trying to be, you know, original

[gaunt dawn]

right, we are on the same page in this discussion now

[indigo abyss]

Not really because I’m actively trying to disprove your initial claim

[gaunt dawn]

so, these decisions have left open a gap where the established characters of other IPs can take those slots

Didnt they go on record saying they were reserving some themes in case they get a contract?

[indigo abyss]

I don’t remember that

But that doesn’t seem far fetched

[gaunt dawn]

Im actually surprised how many of the satisfaction survey characters have made it into the game so far

https://us.v-cdn.net/6030815/uploads/I452ZSCMA18T/trc40qc0k09b1.png

anyway, talking about the grimoire. The angel is a non-confirmative design, its enough for me to work with though. I really didnt like the spider legs at first but when I look at the pattern of how orginal characters in this game turn out, it follows the pattern

I just really hope they nail the voice down

Its voice should be a chorus of male and female voices

[round nacelle]

كسي

[calm rain]

Wh- what

[tropic willow]

Weak if cant aim his shots but hes still not weak

[tropic willow]

I had a question asking for non listed IPs and i entered Pumpkinhead such an underrated horror franchise

[calm rain]

The more I come back the more I feel confused lol

-# when a parent looks away for 2 seconds lol

[still phoenix]

For the next community killer, we gotta make the Strangler happen

[calm rain]

lol we shall see.. now I gotta look this up

[agile robin]

My mom thinks it’s the killer from the meat train

Oh this isn’t game discussion mb

[surreal isle]

[tropic willow]

Would be a niche pick lol

[indigo abyss]

In retrospect I wonder how this visual for the exhile was even composed

It would be such a mismatch with killer visuals

I mean cmon these go together like bread and butter

[vague crater]

I still love the idea of the exile being inside the killer
And that’s where all the faces over it and it’s weapon come from
It’s such a good idea

[calm rain]

Not a bad idea

Sounds pretty interesting lol

Ya think this could work?

[indigo abyss]

Ehhhhh

[drowsy wharf]

I had this cosmetic made with the other exile in mind color palette and theme wise. I think the cosmos aesthetic is a bit too Lovecraftian horror for my taste. This is an Angel, so the dimension should be outwardly heavenly and pristine while harboring darkness.

[calm rain]

Ye alrighty- wonder if I’ll find anything on Pinterest that fit that description

[fickle scarab]

Both of them reflect cosmic horror tho

[drowsy wharf]

This killer’s theming has been bouncing between Divine Horror and Cosmic Horror. I’m glad the Divine Horror angle has been built upon more out of the options presented to the community.

[echo folio]

Probably the inverse, our current "Hopeless Exile" is a paradise so this option might have been a Purgatory or hellscape of some sort with it's focus being "A glimpse of the cosmos before the inevitable end arrives." according to that old verse

[fickle scarab]

Is it not both?

[drowsy wharf]

The developers have been referring to cosmic horror a lot, but in truth, they’re mistakingly creating a killer that’s the embodiment of Divine Horror. The community has also been steering the character heavily in that direction as it should be.

[echo folio]

That probably has to due with the fact we changed our fate from a cosmic otherworldly killer to one of Divine origin back when we had the ability to change our vote

[drowsy wharf]

The divine killer won, it was the cosmic horror that was given the option to be changed to

[echo folio]

Odd they'd keep the cosmic horror tied loosely to the killer still even in description

[fallen lichen]

That didn't last long

[muted estuary]

Will the new killer have tassive mitties?

[calm rain]

Boom-

[fickle scarab]

you do realize that is a fan made cosmetic right

[finite idol]

just had a hatch spawn ontop of me exactly lmao

as killer

[finite idol]

yes lol

hopefully they have more jiggle physics then clown

[drowsy wharf]

Fitting

[buoyant canyon]

the blue is such an eyesore

[tribal pendant]

I really really hope that the giant statue in the middle of the Exile changes its appearance to match the player's active cosmetic

Take their cosmetic and slap on a marbly texture on it

[tropic willow]

Tbh same was thinking that when saw the statue

Would be nice if the darker losing cosmetics could even get the losing like space sky box too

If they release those later anyways

[tribal pendant]

Ngl I would pay good money for a visceral skin that majorly reskins the Exile

That overhauls the assets in it and the skybox

[tropic willow]

Same

[sturdy marlin]

I could be wrong but has the line “a little laughter… a little tear” from the unknown been correlated to anything yet? If not, it seems like with all the new info we have now it might be pointing at someone…

[tardy ravine]

I mean springtrap laughs al ot

[fickle scarab]

Har har har

[indigo abyss]

What info?

The codes?

[fickle scarab]

The teasers from the unknown were for 2024 killers

[indigo abyss]

If they were teasers to begin with

[fickle scarab]

The dog one may have been a reference to one of the text message screenshots from a victim

[ruby stirrup]

Should I use the blight as a new player

[indigo abyss]

#game-questions

[hollow panther]

Do anyone know who’s going to be the new killer

[indigo abyss]

Not the grimoire killer that’s for sure

[calm rain]

Yeep

[amber night]

I've heard so many people say Jason or Predator but also more recently some have said Pennywise.

[hollow panther]

Thank you

[hollow panther]

Thank you

[fickle scarab]

Its all pure speculation

[amber night]

I heard that the Grimoire killer comes out in August maybe October.

[shut drum]

Da moo moos 🐮

[brittle mason]

Imagine if the PTB comes with a super early Judgement.
