Is Leatherface going to be going the way of the Demogorgon? That may be the case. Earlier this week alternate names for Leatherface’s perks were found in the player test build (PTB). While we have no confirmation from Behaviour directly, Leaks by Daylight on Twitter backed up this news by saying that Leatherface will only be in the game for a few more months.
Stranger Things was rumored to be coming back to the game last year, but now the rumors are saying that it will be the anniversary chapter in June and feature the Rainbow Room. Last year there was a video that seemingly featured the new map. Unlike Stranger Things, Leatherface was only a character. Back then they considered him a paragraph and not a chapter. He didn’t have a map or a survivor with him, so his departure from the game would only mean that you wouldn’t be able to purchase him anymore. It’s assumed that if you own him already, he will be playable even after he’s no longer purchasable.
A Texas Chainsaw Massacre game will be coming out in a few months. That could play into the reasoning why Leatherface will be leaving the Entity’s Realm. While the game looks fun, it’s hard to imagine that a franchise focused game is going to knock Dead by Daylight off its current horror throne. I wouldn’t be surprised if Leatherface was back after a year or so after their game releases.
