ALIEN in Dead by Daylight: The Potential and Problems 

Big thanks to Morgan and Morgan for their support! Morgan and Morgan can be found at forthepeople.com/PixelBush

This aged incredibly well

I'd honestly like to see a map based on the Alien: Isolation, the space station that game takes place on could work perfectly for an indoor map with some adjustments. But if that doesn't work, the prison world could work VERY well, I can see them making it a very good one As for power....perfect. THIS is what I wanna see from an Alien right here! A trap/stealth killer based around planting eggs and pouncing, like a stealthy form of Demogorgon almost. Absolutely amazing Pixel

time to see how well this ages.

This man wants to make Alien a stealth killer instead of high mobility, dooming it to get sent to Eerie of Crows, absolute madman. I like it.

I came back to say that today, August 1st, 2023 Alien has been confirmed as Chapter 29 for Dead By Daylight. I couldn’t be more happier!!!

I think xenomorph skins based on killers in dbd would be cool, like a facehugger attached to them and that’s what came out, kinda like what they did with the xenomorph in mortal kombat

Adding onto the cosmetics bit, one additional cosmetic could be her daughter Amanda from Alien Isolation. The map idea coming from the 3rd movie is a good idea but a section from Sevastapol could work seeing as a lot of the map is interconnected and only blocked off by doorways that could be removed.

The fact that this was made when the deal was just finalised basically is surreal

This aged like fine fucking wine👌

It's literally the killer I'm the most excited to see in Dead By Daylight, this video is perfect for me : )

I still have a dream for a Predator and Alien DLC at once. The map can be the crashed spaceship from Alien in the Predator jungle, representing both series at once.

Ahhhhhh, smell that? Smells like we're getting a xenomorph, baaaabyyyyyyyy!

This is my dream collab. I have 500 auric cells set aside JUST for Xenomorph.

One collab that i would really like to see is with the game "Control",it's probably one of the closest things we could get to a SCP chapter.

cant believe you made this and then not even a year later hes in the game

Like fine wine this has aged beautifully

Here revisiting bc of today's announcement! I'm unbelievably hyped

Crazy how 7 months later we are getting him 🎉

7 months later makes this a trip

A good perk for alien could be acid blood, when you get stunned by a pallet, after a cooldown, the pallet automatically becomes destroyed

Anyone here after the announcement?

So... who else is watching this now that Alien is confirmed?? I'm so excited for it! (PTB not out yet if you're reading in future)

Hey Pixel, I think Alien in DBD has more potential than you may think...

this aged like fine wine

This aged well lol

I tried the Twins, they were a nice change of pace; but in the end, as much as I think I'll play them every so often - they ended up showing me that I truly love the simplicity of the Clown. Without them, I'd still imagine myself a Freddy main, now I know the truth. I'm the Clown.

I actually love your power idea, not only does it pay homage to the franchise but it's a genuine threat. You will be punished if you want to just push gens and not get rid of the face hugger, pre dropping pallets will hurt you since the xenomorph can climb over them. It's truly amazing and shows you don't need every killer to have anti loop to be fun/strong.

We do not have to speculate anymore, BHAR has finally done it!

Who else coming back to watch this video again after we got the confirmation?

I was bored so i made my own take on the alien. New killer: The Xenomorph Power: Brood Parasite New map object: Eggs Eggs will spawn randomly throughout the trial, especially near generators. While outside a chase, if a survivor is detected running within 12 meters of an active egg, a facehugger will emerge from the egg and start chasing the survivor. This gives the killer a loud noise notification. After being activated, an egg will remain "hatched" for the rest of the trial. Special enemy: Facehugger Facehuggers will chase survivors who get too close to an egg. They chase for up to 30 seconds, or untill another survivor stomps them out. If they catch the targeted survivor, they will latch onto their face, and prevent them from doing any conspicuous action untill another survivor has helped them remove it. New map object: Vent Vents will spawn nearby lockers. The alien can choose to crawn through a vent and emerge from another while within 4 meters of one. Emerging from a vent makes a loud metal sound, alerting nearby survivors.

How about the ability to jump into windows or up onto drop point's? Sorta wanted this with Wesker but would fit alien just as well. Before people shout busted remember Nurse is a thing

7:15 ... I don't disagree, but your phrasing there just made me think, "Imagine if they announced an Alien chapter, and the killer was Ash."

5:08 the last time the crew saw the xenomorph was when it was a chestburster, so they suspected it was still a chestburster. Even if they would know that it was only in it's baby stage, there was only a couple of hours gap between it bursting and running away to the second death

Welp, it’s happening. will it be good though?

The one change I'd make to the eggs and facehugger, isn't that it's a gestation period, but it's a resistance strength. Like how Ripley in the second film was able to hold it back, and needed help to take it off. I think the three stages would work well if it worked a little like the hook. Stage one, Survivors can do as you've said, remove it but get hurt. But if an ally helps, they don't get injured. In stage two, I think there should be a a button to press, to keep them from developing into stage 3 quicker, but to delay things as long as possible. Like how without help, they are slowly getting weaker and weaker. Then in stage 3, the egg has been layed,and there is possibly an additional timer, as well as what you've suggested. So that if Survivors delay too long, then the host will succumb to the Alien, and die, like an Amanda trap. In theory, this'll force survivors to work together to survive. Allowing the Alien to sneak up on them to take them out.

Oh wow this guys had everything

7 Month later and its happening 🎉

Pixel I just wanna say thank you for all the videos, they genuinely make my day. You never fail to deliver fellow twins main.

Maybe a new map could be the Sevastopol station from Alien Isolation?

Realize I’m fairly late but the face hugger could be a Mori kill

I think the space station from alien isolation would be a great map it's massive, open, with some chokes, and the game was extremely good(in my opinion)

Hey pix! It’s time!!! I just came back to rewatch this video after the announcement. Your power ideas are perfect and I agree with the alien not being fast.. it needs to be stealthy!!!

The face hugger mechanic could be similar to the Pig face trap mechanic. A mori effect would be awesome. I would definitely buy an Alien chapter, I bet Ripley would be amazing.

Anyone here after the ptb?

Love how Snappy the Comedy is in this one. And as a Lifelong Fan of Documentaries, I Loved “Life in Space”

Here from the future. We're getting alien boys and girls!!

Now with the chapter getting confirmed, i just thought about what could be the alien power and i had THE EXACT SAME IDEAS YOU DID, and i 100% agree that a alien without the face huggers would be incomplete

ideas for xenomorph stalk: the xenomorphs power crouch low and cawl on all fours, almost lower then the survivors can crouch, and it gives you the option to pounce: you jump at them, if you miss, you get stunned like if you were hit by a pallet; if you hit, you land on them and claw them; wesker has this with his lunge ability stalking would give off maybe no heartbet but a terror radios, or no terros radius but a constant heartbet and the killers red view would be hidden from survivors; i dont know im not a director of DBD also it could have a longer lunge attack when walking; when walking normal attacks are claw swipes. when lunging the xenomorph thrusts its tail forward and either hurts the survivor or just makes them move slower for a small period of time as for facehuggers, yea it makes sense and previous killers give me an idea for what it could be idea is there is a large hive like structure so the surviors dont just blindly wander into it, like a small tower of hive resin going up int the sky with a dead body stuck to it as a decoration and to warn off the survivors; as you get closer to the hive structures theres less and less normal ground beneath your feet and more and more resin: at the base of the resin tower, beneath the dead buddy stuck to it is a cache of eggs. eggs can be activated if you walk near them but will immediatly launch themselves at a survivor; if the survivor gets grabbed they will enter a breif quick time event, like you get when struggling in the killers grasp or fixing a generator; your vision is GREATLY obscured with the face hugger on your face but you can still move; struggling only delays you getting infected but if you have a surivor with you, they can do a quick-time event to pull the face hugger off you and toss it away when you are infected, wether by being brought to the next by the xeno player or wandering yourself, you can get infected and have a time limit to find one of many weyland yutani experimental drugs or somthing scattered around the map. it would function just like the reverse bear trap that you get as the SAW killer; except instead of your head exploding if you fail, you get a chestburster emerging. it gives the survivors somthing to work on; do they avoid the eggs at all costs or work together early on to trigger the eggs and deal with the facehugger before it can infect anyone and thus preventing the xeno from having a legup over the survivors however, when a face hugger is activated, no matter how its activated, it alerts the xenomorph to a facehugger being active; gameplay wise it makes sense so the survivors cant just stealth all his eggs away; and lorewise it also makes sense; of course the facehugger is gonna call for help to make sure it gets its job done the egg nest idea also works for the alien; it has to actually go out and hunt people down and bring them back to the nest i dont know, just throwing my brain out there

Bro Predicted the future

I had an idea that the map could be the Nostromo, but after crashing into The Entity's realm, having an open outdoor area similar to MacMillan Estate, but with larger structure being made of torn off rooms of the Nostromo, and small loops being made of debris from the crash.

Welp boys, it's finally here!

Definitely loving the idea of the xenomorph being a stealth killer! Nothing else would feel quite right, honestly.

It's happening dude!

My idea for an Alien Power was similar to your Hunter Mode, with the added feature of being able to crawl on ceilings and hide in lockers.

It’s really nice coming back to this after the announcement yesterday

Pixel Bush crying with joy right now.

One thing the devs focus on with licensed killers is that they are accurate to their source material. When I think of a xenomorph I immediately think of one crawling around on walls/ceilings and in vents. I think that would make it really difficult to add to the game where there are maps outside and without that mechanic I don’t think the xenomorph would be very accurate

The Sevastopol station from the game, Alien: Isolation, could be a great map. They have a lot of areas to choose from, a lot of which are quite large spaces suitable for dbd

So about that….

WE GOT IT BABYYYYYYY

I have been waiting for so damn long for this and now it's finally coming 😭

He fucking predicted it and thats iconic actually

Something I heavily dislike about the power concept is the focus mainly being on the facehuggers and eggs. It makes it feel as if it's just twins 2.0. If I were to design a power for a Xenomorph, it would definitely lean into their incredibly lethal stealth and capability to full on climb walls. Just imagine walking down the halls of Midwich, and a Xenomorph jumps at you from the fucking wall.

I’d love to see a map like the Pyramid from AVP. I know it’s far fetched but I miss the 2010 AVP game. They nailed the perspective of the characters. The online modes were so much fun! my favorite mode being Infestation, which features one player as the xenomorph who is tasked with hunting down other players who are marines. Each marine felled by the xenomorph respawn as a xenomorph increasing their numbers. The goal was to survive a set time limit. My favorite map to play on was the Pyramid. It featured dark corridors that would shift and move periodically which set up ambush opportunities for the xenomorph, delivering a fun and authentic experience that really captured the atmosphere of the film. I know DBD will never have anything to that extent, but if they ever draw inspiration from that game, I’m sold. 💵 💵 💵

Of course after the ptb comes out, i just have to rewatch this

The fuckin' Lord of the Rings Online background music during the Xenomorph documentary bit got me good

I had an idea for Xenomorph powers and perks. The Alien is a tall killer who moves at the standard 115% speed and possesses a 32 meter terror radius. 1) Main Power: The Perfect Hunter Pressing the active ability button will send the Alien into Hunting mode. While Hunting, the Alien crawls low to the ground and moves at a speed of 150%. When using its power, the Alien will omit no red stain or terror radius. However the Alien cannot see scratch marks or blood when Hunting. Survivors will hear a faint directional sound cue in the form of hissing whenever the Alien comes within 16 meters of their location. While Hunting, the Alien gains the ability to charge a tail strike. The Alien's tail strike is a ranged attack that inflicts survivors with the Deep Wound status effect. Without add-ons, the Alien can remain in Hunting mode for 15 seconds before its power goes into cooldown for the same length of time. There is a 3 second fatigue animation that plays when coming out of a Hunt. A hunt can also be manually canceled at any time by the player. It will automatically cancel whenever the Alien hits a survivor with its charged tail strike. Additionally, stunning or blinding the Alien will also force it out of hunting mode. 2) Special Attack: Nested Threat At the start of the trial, the Alien is in possession of five eggs and can freely place them throughout the trial grounds. Survivors who come within 2 meters of these eggs while standing will instantly be afflicted with a Facehugger as the egg explodes. Survivors carrying facehuggers will suffer from the Oblivious and Incapacitated status effect for as long as the facehugger is attached. Additionally their aura will be visible to the Alien via Killer Instinct. Facehuggers can only be removed by survivors after 10 seconds of performing the Remove action or if the survivor is hit by the Alien. Survivors will not trigger the egg if crouching within its range. Survivors are able to destroy the facehugger eggs while crouching, however this action will take 15 seconds to complete and trigger a loud noise notification for the Alien when the egg is destroyed. 3) Perks: Alien Isolation: The Alien becomes obsessed with one survivor. When the obssession is hooked, all survivors will suffer from the Blindness and Oblivious Status Effect for the next 10/15/30 seconds. This perk as a cool down of 120/90/60 seconds. "It’s a life form, an unknown type, some kind of alien organism. It’s extrememly dangerous." - Amanda Futile Escape: Everytime you hook a survivor for the first time, you gain a token. When the exit gates are powered, all tokens are consumed. Each token causes the exit gate to require an additional 3 seconds to open, for a stackable bonus of up to 12 seconds at a maximum of 4 tokens. "I admire its purity. A survivor... unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality." - Ash Game Over: After the hatch spawns, its aura will be revealed to the Killer for 3/4/5 seconds. "Game over man! Game over!" - Hudson

If they made Alien, instead of hooks, they could have xenomorph spires that they stick the survivors onto. The hook timer is the time they have for an egg to open at their feet, and the second stage on hook could be that they try and keep the facehugger off of them. When the hook expires, the survivor gets glomped.

Ellen Ripley's the best option, but Amanda Ripley and Jenette Vasquez would be good options as well - saying otherwise isn't a realistic or honest take. Amanda's canon to the movies, and the star of the game people will be most familiar with, while Vasquez was an iconic part of the soul of the sequels.

Dbd killer concept: The Alien (Xenomorph) Movement: 4.6 Terror Radius: 26 meters Powers: Skulk: When skulking, the Xenomorph has its terror radius and red stain removed. The Xenomorph silently moves, moving at 4.0 meters per second. You can end the skulk with a long pounce, allowing you to leap over platforms and other objects. (So its kind of like a victor leap, but with slightly less range. The Miracle of Birth: All hooks in the trial are replaced with nests (as seen in Aliens). Placing a survivor within the nest is the same as hooking them, and hook perks work the same on nests. However, instead of summoning the entity, a facehugger launches itself onto the survivor upon second phase. This gives the survivor a permanent oblivious status effect, but muffles their cries of pain by 50%. Being placed in a nest when in final stage, has a chestburster force its way out of you, and crawl out into the unknown. Perks: Into Darkness: After vaulting, your terror radius and red spot is hidden for 2/4/8 seconds "Oh god... where did it go?" Hex: Queen's Command: All survivors within the injured state within 14/18/22 meters of you, are highlighted with killer instinct Hex: Choked upon despair: Dying survivors have their aura hidden, and have their groans of pain hidden to other survivors for 15/25/35 seconds. "In space... no one can hear you scream" This is just my personal concept, because I thought it would be interesting! If you have any feedback about my idea, just lemme know!

I'm very excited!

MERRY XMAS Here we go, this idea went though a lot of refinment over the last couple of years; but as a massive Alien fan its the best i could work out to fit it into dbd. Alien/Aliens DLC with Ellen and Amanda Ripley as survivors, the xenomorph as the killer and a indoor spaceship map, which would either be the Nostromo or Sevastapol from Alien Isolation, Nostromo would be a fan fav but will be a two level indoor map thats quite small, while Sevastapol would be a much larger still indoor map with multiple levels. Xenomorph is a 110% movement speed killer with a 32m terror radius, a normal attack and a normal lunge, the Xenomorph is a tall killer. Xenomorph Ablitys. 1. Eggs; the match will start with 6 Xenomorph eggs placed around the map all within 2meters of a wall, survivors can destroy an egg which grants 10% speed boost for 6 seconds. During this search there will be a number of skill checks failing any of those skill checks will result in a facehuger jumping out causing the survivor to scream, be wounded (if healthy) and become blind for 10 seconds. The Xenomorph can “replant” destroyed eggs, this action takes 10 seconds. 2. Cocoon; rather than hooking, the Xenomorph can carry survivors to a wall within 5meters of an egg and "Cocoon" them, freeing a survivor from a cocoon takes 5 seconds, once a survivor has been cocooned for a total of 60 seconds (rescuing pauses this timer), you can Mori them from a grab if they are injured. (similar to Myers tier 3 mori), rescuing someone from a cocoon will still trigger DS/BT etc. 3. Crouch, the Xenomorph can crouch removing his red stain and increasing movement speed to 120% however hitting survivor while crouched only inflicts Deep wound, and hitting the same survivor will break you out of crouch. Crouching is fast however un-crouching is much longer. While Crouched any survivor in the line of sight of the Xenomorph will hear a directional hissing. Xenomorph perks. Prefect Organism; Anytime there are two or more survivors working on a gen they will be faced with an extremely hard skill check, failing this skill check will result in your there aura being revelled for 8 seconds. Evolution; Every time a gen is completed, get a token. Each token reduces your terror radius by 4/5/6 metres and increases your movement speed by 1%. At 5 tokens you lose your red stain. Watch the Shadows; After standing still for 4 seconds you lose your red stain, and your terror radius is doubled, after moving this effects persists for 6 seconds, you also gain a 6% movement speed increase for that period. Amanda Ripley Perks 1. I will find her; Whenever another survivor has been unhooked/uncooned/uncaged etc, you see there aura for 20 seconds, if you take a protection hit for them during this time you both gain a speed boost, and a healing speed buff of 8% for 12 seconds when healing them. 2. Engineer; Your first failed skill check on each gen no longer make a loud noise notification. 3. Smoke bomb; After working at a Generator for 60% gain the ability to craft a smoke bomb in a locker, smoke bombs are placed on the ground and have a 3 second delay before activating, all survivors within 8 meters of a smoke bomb have there aura hidden for the duration of the smoke bomb and do not leave scratch marks, Smoke bombs last for 10 seconds, if the killer is standing in the radius of the smoke bomb when it activates they gain the blindness status effect. Ellen Ripley Perks. 1. Get away from her; Whenever another survivor is hooked more than 12meters away from you, your aura is revelled to the killer and the killers aura to you, you also become exposed for as long as that survivor is on the hook, you gain a 100% increase in blood points for all actions taken during this time and the unhooking speed of all survivors is increased by 50%. 2. Auto destruct; If you are grabbed off a generator, or put into the dying state within 6meters of a generator that is over 60% complete, Auto destruct actives stunning the killer for 10 seconds and giving you a 20% movement speed increase for 5 seconds, this also reduces the gen to 0 progress, auto destruct has a 90 second cool down. (this one was the hardest to finetune) 3. Motion Tracker; When working on a generator get a noise notification when the killer is 16m, 12m, 8m, 4meters away from you, each stage (16/12/8/4) increases gen repair speed by 2% (to a total of 8%)

I think that Ellen should get a legendary cosmetic of Amanda, her daughter, and the main character of Alien: Isolation. Heck, maybe Sevastopol Station could be an ideal map.

Funny watching this now with the release that dbd did

well i have news for you

Anyone else here after hearing the Alien trailer drop?

The facehugger should be an optional way to "Hook" the survivor. Much like Pyramid Head's Cage optional hook. The Alien has the option to put a facehugger on a downed survivor's face and either leave them on the ground or plasters them to the wall with their goo. Other survivors would come over and rip the facehugger off and throws it away. This could then lead to a special Alien mori that the survivor pops a chestburster if the survivor had at least one facehugger on their face. If they didn't the Alien's mori would be double mouth through the head.

This is all they have to do to create the xenomorph. Give it a crawl animation whether it be a rush attack or the way it naturally moves around. Instead of being hung on a hook it can place you in a wall the way they do in the movie before the chest burster comes out and if you run out of time you get face hugged instead of sacrificed. It could have a plethora of perks and cool abilities not to mention the best Mori ever created.

This aged well😊

Ellen Ripley in DbD would be appreciated just out of love for Sigourney Weaver. Copycat is one of my favorite movies, and like. Yeah. That woman is fantastic.

I think the power concept is very interesting! It essentially boils down to a cross between Twins, Pig, and Sadako. Xenomorph has a crouching stealth mode (which is a bit better than Pigs with pallet vaulting+vault speed), can place spawn points for its "Victor" which instead applies a growing debuff instead of just straight up disabling the survivor- which will eventually result in Mori if left alone. However, there is enough differentiating it from those other powers for it to remain unique. The power isn't Binary in effect- it isn't simply an automated kill switch, or a psuedo-exposed status. It doesn't just flip on or off, instead it starts small and grows in strength the more often it gets applied- sort of like Plague but not as direct in application. More importantly, if the Survivors are vigilant, it isn't ever really going to get someone Mori'd- progress disabling in chase and when otherwise unable to actually take the action to halt it means that the Xenomorph can't possibly "force" it out like Sadako or Pig can. It's just there to be a threat, something that the survivors have to waste time dealing with lest they lose outright. This means that the core path to Victory for the Xenomorph is actually as an M1 killer- hence the inclusion of what would essentially be the strongest stealth mode in the game. Ghostface allows exposure- but can be removed. Pig works well, but makes her slow and doesn't enhance her mobility at all outside of the very loud and obvious lunge. Wraith has the Bing Bong that delays his sneak attacks. The Xenomorph has none of that. It still moves reasonably fast, gains the ability to very quickly traverse pallets and windows (potentially even mid-chase, meaning that pre-dropping pallets is a huge nono against this killer just like against a few others), and otherwise has no attack delays, giveaways, or ways for the survivor to counteract it beyond just being plain observant. This stealth mode is the TRUE killer power. The facehuggers are semi-complicated timewasting mechanic meant entirely to level the playing field for what is at the end of the day just an M1 Stealth Killer with no chase power. It's honestly quite elegant as a mechanic. I pray and hope to dear god that the DBD devs see this video, and take it to heart if they ever do get their mits on the Alien license.

This is a great idea but it kinda feels like the power makes twins redundant

I'd say add an effect like Artist's crows to the facehugger, like "survivor's auras can't be revealed while they're removing a facehugger" otherwise it's very easy to exploit an instakill mechanic by, for example, stalking a survivor while undetectable, only going for them when/if they try to remove the hugger. I'd say the deadly effect happens only if they try to escape while in gestation 3, like pig beartraps, but give a sort of xenomorph laxative of sorts. It wouldn't be the first time an incurable condition becomes curable in DbD, see both Resident Evil killers' respective viruses, and Sadako's whole deal.

Alien could just be a legendary pig skin. Have the face traps be a face hugger, have the dash be a skitter attack that ends with a tail attack, stand up is just a normal alien with a slash

I personally think that it would be a good opportunity for another double survivor chapter. Ripley and Hicks, with available skins to make them into Vasquez and Gorman/Bishop would be my top choices. The possibility of Bishops inclusion alone could be incredibly interesting.

Alien is one of VERY few sci-fi properties that would work in DBD. It also helps that their primary drive is to capture live prey for the facehuggers, so sticking survivors on a hook just makes sense.I know some people also want the Predator,but that just doesn’t work unless you give the survivors guns. Predator’s got rules that just don’t match up with DBD gameplay.

Imagine if it just ends up being a reskin of the Pig, with the crouch ambush, and the RBT is just facehugger puts an egg in, go get meds to kill it

Dead by daylight crossing over with doom could lead to potential ways of bringing the fight to the killers and I'm all for that

This man just combined pig and twins together to make Xenomorph and im 100% on board for the power idea. Alien was the first horror movie I ever saw and it has ben My number 1 ever since a chapter for alien is the one I have ben hoping for a long time. I wont lie I do want to see some Alien isolation rep if the do a chapter a tbh basing the chapter more on the game might be easier for behavior to do both in assets since its also on the same engine but it might be easier rights wise I would love it either way but I would love a Ripley and Amanda skins and please make the Xenomorphs mori reference the iconic scean form alien 3 where its right next to riply and slowly opens its mouth but this time it gives a survivor the old head pop, or a kill animation form isolation or even something out of the AvP movies or games maybe we can get a first person mori again

The Xenomorph's power should be a stealth ability; preferably one that makes it able to crawl on any surface and launch from it. All while making its movement slightly slower. The facehuggers would then be situated near generators and chests and would open if a survivor came closed to it. The facehuggers won't hatch if the survivor crouches. If the facehuggers do hatched, the survivor would get one attached to its face and thus a timer would begin. All effects stated on this video would take effect (at a 30 second interval between stages instead of 60). The mini mori animation would be a baby alien bursting out of the survivor's chest.

Good prediction. Since Alien is finally happening.

In addition to the main powers you stated: At stage three a baby Xeno should burst out of the survivor leaving them with the broken status affect for 60 seconds and turning into an AI much like nemesis zombies. The newly hatched Xenos cannot injure survivors but instead will reveal the aura of any survivors within it's line of sight to The Xenomorph. After some time the baby Xeno will mature (it's size won't be as big as The Xenomorph though) and the wait for this can be sped up by landing hits against survivors while in stealth mode. Landing attacks in stealth mode fills up a power gauge. Once the power gauge is full you can use the power "Hivemind" to temporarily take control of a fully matured Xeno to attack survivors (for one hit only). If they successfully down a survivor they will screech loudly, calling out to The Xenomorph, causing you to instantly switch back to The Xenomorph. This screech gives The Xenomorph a burst of speed until either 25s (duration and exact % of speed boost up for debate) pass, The Xenomorph injures or downs a survivor or The Xenomorph picks up a survivor. This will allow The Xenomorph to get to the downed survivor before they can be healed by their teammates OR use the speed burst for something else (allowing the survivor to be saved as a result) Once this is over the matured Xeno prowls the map again passively and cannot be controlled until the power gauge is filled again. I'm a huge fan of the series and I think your ideas are really cool. I just don't want the life cycle to end at the facehugger, I feel like that would be a disservice.

My all time most wanted license is The yautja Predator and Dutch Schaeffer (Arnold Schwarzenegger) with a jungle map as it would spice up the difference in maps. Although a licensed chapter I would want but has literally no chance (at least for a long while), is a call of duty zombies chapter with Dr. Edward Richtofen (could have a second character along with some legendary skins) and one of these three as a killer the panzer/krazny soldat, the margwa, or Brutus/Warden. Could be cool for map variety too as there are plenty of maps that could work as DBD maps. Kino Der Toten, Der riese, verruckt, shi no numa, ascension, mob of the dead, buried(though it would give off a very similar feeling to dead dawg which I already call buried 2), Origins, Shadows of Evil, and Revelations. Some maps would probably be missing certain sections of their maps like Origins Mob, and Shadows but the end product could be something fun and amazing to play. I feel as there could be a comparison to RPD with certain maps but let's be honest the zombies maps would be more accessible for newer players than midwich

For the map, though we don't really see anything like it in the films, I would want to see a map inspired by H R Gigers art work, and similar to Scorn. There are no maps in dbd that have that atmosphere and I think it would ust give a massive sense of dread when playing. Such an otherworldly feel to it that no other maps have.

Omg HOH LEE SHEET that Xenomorph noise at the end of the video was creepy af! PTSD XD

If I could only chose one license to bring into this game it would definitely be Alien.

time traveler

Fun and cool little facts about the xenomorphs: almost every concept of them and their ability were inspired by many real life insects such as the scorpion for it's tail, the Africa cet cet fly(sorry for the mispelling of it) for it's inner jaw, and most infamously. The Australian parasitoid wasp for it's ability to implant it's eggs into it's prey while still alive, which is the inspiration for the xenomorph facehugger. Also, it's name "XenoMorph" wasn't giving to it to describe it's bizarre body shape. With xeno meaning (strange, peculiar, or unknown), and morph meaning(shape, form, or transform).Which is also why the enemies in Dead Space are called necromorphs, with necro obviously meaning dead. Speaking of which, since Dead Space is getting a remake, I'd think it would make a fantastic chapter in DBD.

The Egg could function like the bear trap that one of the killers have. Players disturb the egg, come close to it, egg hatches and the facehugger does what it does best. The affected player will stop in their tracks, the character desperately trying to hold the facehugger away from their face, mashing the button that pops up. If the player is successful or someone helps them, the parasite is thrown away and despawns, or dies., In AVP Extinction (Real Time Strategy Game) the facehuggers have limited time out of the egg to find a host. So this could be jotted down as the FH used all its energy trying to infect the player with what you have stated in the video, but if its thrown off, it dies from expending its energy. But during this time the Xeno could close in on the player and take them out itself, then hook them. This would encourage players to stick together to help each other out with the parasite and the Xeno killer would only be able to have say 2-4 eggs on the map at any time , having to reclaim the expended egg after it has triggered to speedup the cooldown or immediately be able to place an egg down.
