Me! I always love trying new content

in 2 more Days until The new update Comment by DefiantEnd June 15, 2025

Absolutely! There is more

Interviewer brings up The Grudge and Dragon Ball Z as possible collabs, Mathieu doesn’t respond to him directly but acknowledges them as possibilities through gestures.

-Mathieu confirms that during a license negotiation the first things they do is establish limits with the license holders (such as what a character can or can’t do) and also talk about the basic actions a killer or survivor must be able to do inside the game (being taken by The Entity, repairing gens or vaulting windows).

-Mathieu puts Chucky and Sadako as a great examples of this, having to be very creative in the actions they do, but staying true to their character. He highlights Chucky’s picking up animation and Sadako not being able to touch anyone or anything.

-Mathieu also says they don’t like doing exact replicas of the licenses they get. He uses an analogy comparing The Entity to a nightmare, where anything can appear, but in convoluted ways. He says he used this method with the SH licensors and that’s why we got Cheryl and Pyramid Head together.

-Mathieu says adding Robert Englund’s Freddy as a skin is very difficult and a nightmare due to the licensing it has to be done. He also says getting 2 companies to work together is very difficult.

-Mathieu says some of the licenses they have other versions of their characters which are owned by the same company that collabed with BHVR, meaning we could see other versions of those characters join the game.

-Mathieu says that bringing Mr. Scratch to DBD is ENTIRELY possible.

-Mathieu confirms that if is possible to bring Pinhead back into the game THEY’LL DO IT.

-He also says outfits from mobile can come to the core game (as seen with a few we already have).

-Mathieu says the door to games played with 1st POV (such as BATIM) was never closed and can definitely happen if people want these kind of ips.

-Mathieu says that any character they’d consider cool to add, has a chance of getting in DBD.

-Mathieu confirms that ips created by one single person or indie games are completely possible to add to DBD.

-Mathieu says that survivors don’t need to be strictly horror, but they have to be relatable people that can get beaten by the killers. He says they tend not to do “pure hero” characters like Dutch from Predator, since they want people that have weaknesses and strengths and can endure insurmountable trials, not be heroes.

-Mathieu also says that when creating OG survivors, they want to make them relatable, with a complex backstory and human (in behaviour, not race). He says they should be the typical people you see on the street or around a corner.

-He puts Ash Williams as a great example of this, someone who is heroic at times, but has to suffer a lot and overcome many challenges to win.

-He says a character that will possibly not come to DBD is John McClane from Die Hard but sets him as a good example of what kind of survivors they want.

-Mathieu regards Doom Guy as another example of what would be a bad survivor. He also says Geralt from Witcher is a bit at the limit of that line. However, Mathieu considers Geralt as someone who has faced many horrors during his life and had to push through them like survs do.

-Mathieu says the voice actors for each character are a conscious decision made by the team, setting Orela’s VA as an example. He also excludes old characters due to their limited budget back then.

-Mathieu says they like to go for VA who are extremely competent, but perhaps not so well known among the public.

-Mathieu completely deconfirms The Teacher as a killer, he said the icons found in the file were an inside joke among devs at that time and if you take the first letter of the name of each icon it spells “Get good”.

-Mathieu says we WILL learn more about characters like Vigo and The Observer, but he says they probably won’t ever come as actual characters to the game.

-Mathieu says there’s a comic book series in the works. He also admits the movie is still in the works.

-Mathieu also says they’ll use more mediums to tell the story of DBD.

-Mathieu CONFIRMS The Entity is ALL POWERFUL in his own realm, meaning it can do whatever it pleases. Interviewer mentions Vecna as a powerful being inside the realm and Mathieu said that once you’re inside the realm, The Entity can do whatever it want with you.

-He says if The Entity was to be taken out of its realm then it perhaps wouldn’t be as strong, but as long as you’re inside the realm, no matter who you are, you’re in his mercy.

-He also says that The Entity can warp anything (time, reality, physics), can do whatever it wants and is an incomprehensible being.

-He also says that they’ve established that The Entity’s intention can never be understood. Mathieu says that they’ll probably never explain what The Entity truly is or what it desires and if they do they’ll make sure to add more questions to the formula.

-Mathieu confirms it is NOT impossible that we may see the characters from Project T (cancelled DBD spinoff) as survivors

in New interview by Cote Comment by DefiantEnd June 12, 2025

Im not a huge FNAF fan but I'm excited. I really like his voice lines with the original voice actor. Definitely excited to play as him.

To me the ace is fun to use! I like the idea of it staying in a survivor until it's pulled out

in Am I the only one who's disappointed with Springtrap Power? Comment by DefiantEnd June 6, 2025

Foxy would be cool. I wonder if they didn't include him in the map on purpose because they have plans for him? Just a guess

in Which animatronic would you like to see in dbd after springtrap? Comment by DefiantEnd June 5, 2025

I am a newer player, but I'm loving it. I wish I got into it sooner but it's been so much fun. I know it's different for me than you old timers, but I look forward to the future

in I do not like how this game has been getting more and more strict in player expression Comment by DefiantEnd June 4, 2025

Catnap is mainly who I thought of too..the red smoke could hinder or slow you, similar to the clown tonic gas. I guess huggy could possibly have a rush attack.

in What would you all think of this as a chapter Comment by DefiantEnd June 3, 2025

Aw dang, well thanks for the feedback. I was hoping there was a way but it doesn't sound like it if it's a glitch

in Is there anyway for a hatch not to spawn? Comment by DefiantEnd June 2, 2025

I really like Dracula's castle now that it's been pointed out to me. the FNAF map with cupcake jumping out from a locker is probably my favorite though!

in What Are Your Favourite Small Details? Comment by DefiantEnd June 2, 2025

Oh ok I swear I saw someone with your name and thought it was you.

in What Are Your Favourite Small Details? Comment by DefiantEnd June 2, 2025

Oh ok I didn't even realize that honestly. I'm that case yeah, maybe n offering to the realm would work.

in Bhvr please make Freddy fazbear's pizza map into new offering please!!! Comment by DefiantEnd June 2, 2025

I don't see why they wouldn't do this because every other most maps have an offering

in Bhvr please make Freddy fazbear's pizza map into new offering please!!! Comment by DefiantEnd June 1, 2025

I think poppy playtime would fit into the lore pretty good

in Who do you wanna see in DbD? Comment by DefiantEnd June 1, 2025

Just report them

in Great, hackers again Comment by DefiantEnd June 1, 2025

Thanks for all the feedback. Makes sense. I know BHVR said they were going to start including things in future contracts after ST but I don't remember what that was.

in How long do maps stay? (licensed) Comment by DefiantEnd June 1, 2025

Yeah, I know no license will be permanent because no one would ever agree to that. But I wasn't sure if the maps will stay in game from now on as part of a deal or something.

Just something I was curious about for sure. For example FNAF the new map, will it disappear at some point or will it be a permanent addition to the game?

Thanks for the feedback!

in How long do maps stay? (licensed) Comment by DefiantEnd June 1, 2025

Ive been enjoying the FNAF' Easter eggs a Lot. I went into a locker and out jumped cupcake!! Lol

in What Are Your Favourite Small Details? Comment by DefiantEnd May 31, 2025

Shroompy I think I just played a game with you

in What Are Your Favourite Small Details? Comment by DefiantEnd May 31, 2025

What map can Dracula's castle spawn on?. I love that.

in What Are Your Favourite Small Details? Comment by DefiantEnd May 31, 2025

I played him today and really like him!

I'm so excited I got him finally. He looks awesome

in Pinhead's perks are finally base and will be available to everyone when 9.0.0 hits live! Comment by DefiantEnd May 31, 2025

I do really like the new map. I'm going to play against bots and explore it with spring trap!

in What’s the appeal to fnaf exactly? Comment by DefiantEnd May 30, 2025

Im not a FNAF fan but excited for the new content!'

in What’s the appeal to fnaf exactly? Comment by DefiantEnd May 30, 2025

Well, it happened..I got the cenobite! My friend let me have a code he had never redeemed due to losing interest. I have wanted cenobite for so long and am so excited to be able to use him!

Does anyone have any playing recommendations for him?

This is for computer.
