How does it work?

Users who disconnect from matches will be prevented from joining a new match for a predetermined length of time, which increases after each instance of disconnection.

3.5.0 Q&A Livestrea...

Welcome to our Designer Notes, a series of blogposts presenting the fine details of upcoming design changes. Today, we’ll be going over the first update of 2020, which includes changes to The Doctor, the Gatekeeper Emblem, and Hex: Ruin. 

DOCTOR UPDATE 

In the next mid-chapter update, we will be changing core elements of The Doctor's gameplay. He's been a polarizing figure since his release, and we felt it was time to revisit his kit with an eye to making it less frustrating to play against him. We will keep his core identity as a Killer who shocks people with electricity and causes them to go insane, suffering several...

What is the relation between Rin and Kazan Yamaoka (Spirit and Oni)?

Kazan is Rin’s great, great, great, great, great grandfather. Kazan attracted the Entity through his dark actions and forever cursed the Yamaoka bloodline.

Why did you decide to give Oni his own chase music? Does it mean that Killers will get own chase music from now on?

This is something we’re looking into. We’ve tried it in the past with The Demogorgon and it was well received. We’d also like to consider creating unique chase music for Killers that are updated. The Doctor will be receiving his own unique chase music when he’s updated, for example.

Can we get the Oni power to work like PC? His movement during demon dash is weaker and his flick is non-existent with max sensitivity.

We have tweaked the rotation limitation on the newer hotfix patch, both PC and console should now have the same limitation. Tweaking the sensitivity or rema...
