Hey Everyone!

We are excited to announce our Murderversary update! This update brings a ton of new and remastered content, quality of life changes and bug fixes.

Halloween Drops From the 25th-8th

Halloween Drops are enabled during this period of time. You can get one a day, you just have to play for at least 30 minutes.
Lichstone - The newest addition to the possible halloween drops, is a scary tombstone!
Rip or Reap - You can get this victory deco by being on the winning team.
Last Stream - If you stream on the 28th of October, 2022. Email us or contact us on discord with your stream link and Steam id number, we’ll hook you up with a unique victory deco. No minimum viewer requirement.

The big stuff first.

Our first change is going to be the most controversial change. We have reworked every killer. Our reasoning for this change was the following.

• Make killers more approachable to new players.
  
• Streamline kits so that the killers have more personality and flavor.
  
• Setup a format that makes future Killers easier to design and add.
  

We won’t list the changes here, but you can dive in and see. The codex has been updated to properly show these changes.
Killer specializations have been removed, we may add them again in the future.

AI Killer

• You can now change the killer selection option to be AI Controlled.
  
• There are currently 2 killer AIs setup (Signal and Ripper) ; it will randomly choose one at the beginning of a match.
  
• There are 4 difficulties, the more difficult, the more utility the AI will have.
  
• This is a great addition for small lobbies, or players who want to play together.
  
• If this is well liked, we will expand its functionality and feature list.
  

2 New Killers

• Snickle Snackle - This new killer can only be seen while they move, they stalk their prey waiting for the perfect moment to strike.
  
  
• Champion - The galactic wrestling champion has been placed into the experiments, he is the master of the knockout and chair throw!
  

2 New Maps

• L0CKOUT 7 - Stand in the data streams to open the exit block.
  
• Nuke - Enter the proper sequences to arm the nuke!
