It was Courier that annouced it.
Okay let's discuss the new map picture from official twitter.

Ah right sorry, and yes Courier and OKH do a really good job on the fourms, and sadly Courier gets the short end of stick, however they have been super busy so frequent activity on fourms wasnât likely anyways, Im just glad there doing what they can.

Imo this game has more connections and ties to the 2010 predators movie.
Rewatch that one and there is a ton of nods in this game to that. (Sound indicators, the phrase âlast standâ was used, a ton of weapons from that movie are in the game)
I think this map will be reminiscent of the AVP map where there was a small cave system, and a base of operations. Half jungle, half town/village.
This being said, I will hold my breath that this will launch smoothly

Have this as part of my intro
The lay out looks interesting. Im hoping and praying for something good.đ€đ»
Why does illfonic refuse to post this stuff in their own forums and we always have to get this info from the community members� Can illfonic do anything right?
Both Courier and OKH have been making an effort to answer questions when they can. Courier didnât have to let us know on Friday that the patch was dropping on Tuesday but he did. OKH didnât have to let us know that if wasnât related to night maps or a Pred only mode but he did (granted that was so we wouldnât be upset but still counts.)
Our community reps have to follow theyâre contractual obligations, whether those are to Illfonic, Sony or even Fox. It they say they can only talk about things after official announcements, itâs for a reason.
Last point Iâd like to make, is that it shouldnât matter if you get informed by them directly or whether it filters through the community and you hear about it from us here. You still get the info, right?
If you arenât around as often as other members, make a couple friends who seem informed and ask them when you are around. Weâre all pretty good about sharing what we know.

Im gonna add to slasher.
They are usually always reading but rarley responsive due to them having no actual need to lol incase its urgent as an game breaking bugs.
Either way i guess the mods are atleast the only ones doing their jobs from entire illfonic team lol.

The team is actually working very hard, youâll see on Tuesday. Yes they seem to be having some scheduling issues and might even be a month behind. As far as I can see, theyâve only missed one month of paid Dlc (assuming there isnât a drop on Tues.), because Dutch got bumped from Aug. to Sept.
Being a day late with a Dutch shouldnât be a thing to be angry about.
I had assumed they were aiming for a big patch every 4 months, they are a smaller team than Behaviour (so matching the 3 month Chapter Schedule might be to much). With a Dlc or paid Dlc every month, 4 months between maps or modes isnât to bad, it got delayed by a month or my assumption was to optimistic.
Cross Play and linking Epic and PSN has been more difficult then they expected, likely due to factors their partners control not them. At least from what I gather from reading.
5 months is a bit long before the first map/mode drop but a month delay is forgivable in my opinion. We donât know what the next part of the schedule/roadmap will look like yet but will likely see it either Tuesday or in October.
It could be they never intended a 4 month release schedule and (speculation ahead), weâll get a revamped version of the existing maps, 1 a month (or bimonthly) for the next little while, while they finish whatever they have planned next. Alternatively they might be finishing Airfield and HQ, the other two leaked map names and they might come bimonthly.
One half on my brain is hype for Tuesday, the other half is thinking about October and November. The second half is also wondering about events and what OKH said about having to get everything in order for the new year months in advance. Does that mean Iâm not thinking far enough ahead. đ€
Being mad at them doesnât help us, help them. Thereâs to much to think about already, đ.
PS. Coffee is not wrong about them reading. They do, more than you probably think.
All this you have said boils down to: illfonic has commercialized its game a year in advance, knowing that it does not have the necessary equipment, that it has charged for an unfinished game, that to finish it has to waste time making payment dlc in Instead of focusing on correcting bugs ⊠but do not complain or get angry, that does not help, better send money on delivery.

This genre of game starts small and grows, if you really hate that model donât pick up asymmetrical games before year two.
Did Behaviour studios release Dbd early or was it designed to grow and become more complex over time? Theyâve had 4 years of growth not all of it easy.

Dead By Daylight was rough for a couple years(still is) , were having same problem rn where agatoganist is getting short end of stick, Dead By Daylight is somewhat easier to balance mostly due to the mechanics, Predator Hunting Grounds is only 4 1/2 months old. Balance isnât going to perfect right off the bat, niether are bugs, hell Dead By Daylight had alot of bugs and crashes as well still does, Asymms start off rough cause the balance the devs have on release usually doesnât last, they have to constantly adjusting variables all the time, and even Dead By Daylight still hasnt hit the sweet spot so to expect Predator Hunting Grounds to be a balanced bug free state was highly unlikely at launch.

what I donât like is that they market an unproven product, I can understand that the game comes out small, I have played other growth model games. What I canât understand is that being so small at the start, I have so many errors that they donât focus on correcting, but if they focus on continuing to finance themselves, adding things that cause crashes for not testing them before including them ⊠I could continue ⊠and it has nothing to do with the lack of content
