A lot of people that have issues with the overall difficulty going down are forgetting something important. Having the difficulty lowered allows for easier access to a wider variety of players that have incentive and ease of access to play the harder difficulties now. TRS has also shown that they are obviously taking the community's thoughts into consideration. They have not disappointed the majority of it's players and have made it possible for more players to join. Without a doubt this has exceeded their expectations for the game's roadmap. The new difficulty is scheduled for 2022 and is actively being worked on according to the B4B Trello. I believe with certainty that it will be a more appropriate level of difficulty for the old and new batch of Nightmare enthusiasts that will be in need of a challenge.

Is there a consideration for custom difficulties in the future?

It would be good to have a custom mode with sliders for various things like base HP, Ammo, player damage, lives, continues, healing cabinet charges, ridden HP, ridden damage, spawn frequency/volume, FF damage, the corruption card pool and so on.

I feel like there are so many layers to the game that three or four difficulty settings limits the experience, and being able to create hybrid difficulties would create experiences unique to the player and what they enjoy.

I get that this is no small ask, but it would allow the game to remain fresh fo years to come.
