Putting a bullet in the RE8 Theories once and for all.
"We are excited to be working with the legendary studio Capcom to create the next Dead by Daylight chapter. It is an honor and an absolute joy to welcome the original survival horror game Resident Evil in the entity's universe. The result is fantastic and will surprise new players and veterans alike. Players can expect a chapter packed with ICONIC content and novel ways to sacrifice or survive inspired by the renowned franchise." - Creative Director Dave Richard
"This is such an awesome new addition to our universe! If you had told us, five years ago when we launched, that one day we would be adding characters from the legendary Resident Evil world into our game, none of us would have believed you. We are so grateful to Capcom for everything they've done over the years to bring horror to the world of video games. And today, we get to bring these ICONS into Dead by Daylight. It is an incredibly proud moment for us." - Game Director Mathieu Cote
Both of these quotes are from game articles published on April 15th and are from official press releases.
Two things to take away from this-
RE8 Content is not happening so everyone can finally be quiet about it.
The new killer will likely bring a new sacrificial mechanic like Cages of atonement and possibly even a new way of escaping the trial as survivor.

When did I say anything about the voice actors?
you're really going to be this obtuse over a joke.
to quote you:
"Okay I'm sorry my dear hardcore RE fans, but I just... can't help but cringe at that line " you were gonna be a Jill sandwich." I just can't take that seriously"
For the sake of me argueing my ass off I'm gonna put it this way. My views of what horror should be is probably different then others. Thats all i'm going to say
AY! Jokes on you! Chris punching that boulder is now CANNON based upon RE8 XD
it was always canon because you had to do it to beat the game. It wasn't an optional event you could do during a boss fight to help win, you had to do it.
I've had people in the past trying to say that RE5 wasn't cannon at all because it was too action-packed. That was my point lol. Literal threads about it when capcom use to have forum for it lol.
Turns out I was just being honest after all... All 3 are from the classics re2 and re3. These games really are iconic for a reason. Re7 was good in a lot of ways but not revolutionary to the horror genre like the classics.
No one said they weren't iconic. Lmao.
