Not trolling or Click-baiting but.....Devs we need to talk.
Okay, so hear me out. I made this fan Chapter and posted it in the forums awhile ago back before the Knight and Nemesis chapters. Maybe coincidences or maybe not but the Knight chapter is looking really close to my fan chapter. Here is the fan chapter for you to compare.
The Wrathful Blight
By: PostwarSword
“Life, such a fragile thing and brutal to the end for some. Death, the ultimate victory and goal for few with reckless abandonment but enjoyment. These things are one and the same for vengeful spirits and remnants of the world's end. Why should life be given joy but only a sore blight upon existence?” - Unknown

Lore:
Tome Record #7:
“I was a king once long ago in my mortal flesh until my Master showed me the way of eternal life. Once the Master had even shown me their true form of spider-like appendages, pitch black void of its chest, and its unquenchable sensation to devour souls of hope to feed continuously. Now I have become immortal, a necromantic king of darkness, and servant to my Eternal Lord of Death. Death is now my domain and thus shall the living feel my wrath and be consumed by the Dead.”
Tome Record #11:
“I was taught today how to summon forth curses onto objects to shatter the blistering light of life and joy. To see how pitiful I once was as a mortal makes me filled with disgust only fuels my resolve to destroy the blightful thing known as existence. One day….one day I shall learn to even control my Master in order to achieve my goals! But first for now, I shall continue to serve and learn to grow my powers and knowledge of the dark arts. I WILL BECOME GOD OF DEATH ITSELF!”
Killer’s Lore:
The Revenant was once a king of kings in a realm where magic was abundant and ruled by several different species. His ambitious nature would drive him to wars in order to claim more knowledge and that of immortality. The King was known to be brave, strong, swift, also brilliant while never afraid of dirtying his hands with blood and steel. The King grew in power and statism to become known as “The Butcher of Immortality”. One day after a long and hard fought battle to end his bloody campaign against the Krîtälings, he had found his army decimated and in retreat. Angered with the result of the battle, he captured some of the cowardly men that fled the battle. He proceeded to slaughter them personally by shoving daggers into their backs and beating them to death with a flaming flailing mace. The King had heard whispers from the dead and then a figure of a dark cloaked being sprang forth from the corpses that laid before the king. Before the king asked and was ready to attack, the dark cloaked being promised the king what he always wanted….immortality and infinite knowledge. The king was dumbfounded and listened to the being. The being would invite the king to his side and gain immortality if he joined him. The King accepted the offer and followed the being through a dark portal. Now the King has become the Revenant, King of the Necromancy, and right hand man to the Entity. The Revenant is a foul being of never ending hatred of life and existence also corrupted by the tainted evil of darkness. His main weapon is a ghostly green flaming giant flailing mace in which its’ prideful possession. His Mori is him conjuring nine cursed daggers thrusted into the back of the Survivor and proceeds to beat the Survivor to death with the flailing mace.
Primary Ability: Death Knight: Necromancy is the work of pure evil and hatred to existence, a truly gruesome sight to behold.
Upon using the Death Knight ability, The Revenant’s base movement speed is reduced to 100% during summoning and takes 1.5 seconds to summon the Death Knight. The summoned Death Knight moves at 105% movement speed and spawns up to 1 unit. The Death Knight is an independent A.I. that can see Survivor auras every 10 seconds so it can direct itself to the Survivors. The summoned Death Knight can only attack and hook Survivors while unable to regress generators but is able to vault windows. Cooldown is 60 seconds for raising the Death Knight and it lasts for 120 seconds. The cooldown begins immediately after the Death Knight has despawned.
Special Ability: Gruesome Blight: Your wrath has no bound like the sense for the unquenchable thirst for death and misery.
Upon activation, you lose 10% in movement speed for 5 seconds but gain the ability of a dark pulsating shrouded aura that refreshes every 15 seconds and that hinders all survivor’s action speeds and movement by 5%. The aura is based on a 32 meter terror radius and will deactivate after 120 seconds with a cooldown of 90 seconds. If a Survivor is no longer in the affected area of Gruesome Blight, they have the status effect linger for 15 seconds. The aura terror radius can be increased/reduced by add-ons and perks. (The aura emits a red terror stain as a circle. The closer the Revenant is, the brighter the stain becomes.)

Survivor's Lore: Alex Vön Brök, once a proud father and husband to a beautiful wife and three children. Alex was a good man who always kept his nose clean, not even a traffic violation to his name. He was an advent hunter and fur trapper like his father and his grandfather before that. One day while out hunting deer for food for his family, an unfortunate event had started taking place back home. A grizzly bear had stumbled across the family cabin and proceeded to bust down the door. The grizzly would kill the family except Alex as he was returning home from a successful hunt. Once he had returned home, Alex had noticed the damage and blood everywhere. He searched everywhere but no bodies were found except for a trail of blood that led to a cave. To his horror he had stumbled upon the bear that was eating the corpses of his family in the cave. In anger he jumped on the back of the grizzly and began stabbing it to death with his homemade bowie knife. The grizzly rolled over on its back knocking Alex off and started mauling at Alex. The grizzly’s right paw cut Alex’s forehead leaving a nasty huge and long scar. Alex finally was able to kill the beast by jabbing the knife through its left eye socket, stabbing it completely into the brain. With the fight over, a dark portal opened and sucked him inside. Now at a campfire with little memory of how he got healed, he is fighting to stay alive in the memory of his family. Let the games begin.
Realm: The Beast’s Gate Map: The Fortress
- A medium three level castle with a dungeon, courtyard, alchemy room, and throne room.
Map Lore: “Once a white glowing beacon of light and might from the Kingdom of Men. This fortress was called, “Lų Málüras Dės”, the City of Gathering is now a home of darkness. A long-tilted valley, a deep gulf of shadow, ran back far into the mountains. Upon the further side, some way within the valley's arms, high on a rocky seat upon Hůldir of Black Rocks, stood the walls and towers of “Lų Málüras Dės”. All was dark about it, earth and sky, but it was lit with ominous dark green lighting of for told doom. The moon ailing in some slow eclipse was the light of it now, wavering and blowing like a noisome exhalation of decay, a corpse-light, a light that illuminated nothing but dread. This realm is truly legends of legends, nightmare of nightmares, and foremost the chamber where “it” must once dwelled here. This is what I dread the most as I hear the screams of beasts that are unimaginable to the human mind. This is where it must’ve all begun.” - Unknown Journal #3791

I don't understand what there is to talk about?
Other then congratulations that the concept you came up with was good enough to end up in the game. Wether it was inspired by it or not
If you can prove it great, make a big post on social media for clout or take the devs to court, if you cant prove that you had this idea before they did, then just big oof for you; otherwise theres really no way to tell how honest youre being.
Sometimes you'll want to read the forum rules as a quick refresher because
Take them to court, you'll most likely lose.

This is why if you're big on fan creations but you want to retain the rights to your creative endeavours, this is not really the place to share them.
I highly doubt people at BHVR are scouring the forums for killer ideas to steal
