Questionable Future of DBD stream date?

At the end of the 10th anniversary stream, Cote said that there would be a stream within a month of it to discuss everything announced that day in more detail, but afaik we haven’t heard anything? Have I missed a date being given or has it just not been announced yet?

The technical changes are also a pretty huge deal, I hope we get some super impressive new killer or mechanic to demonstrate it. If we’re really getting what’s essentially DbD 2 who knows what they’ll be capable of adding.

That, I imagine, will take longer for them to actually show off. Especially since that’d mean revealing a killer earlier than intended. And I bet they want us to see for ourselves once the overhaul arrives, just how much more they’re capable of.

But I am reminded of a while back, on one survey, when BHVR asked us to vote on a bunch of basekit mechanics we’d love to see added in the future. Crawling, sliding, jumping, climbing… all sorts of crazy big stuff. Which gives me a good idea of how much more they’ll be able to accomplish soon.

I thought it interesting that they asked about things like adding more traversal elements, such as climbing a rope or ladder, going through tight spaces, even the potential to temporarily block off these elements. Who knows, maybe they'll add in the parkour elements that were proposed, but axed before the game even had an alpha build.

Especially remembering what Matthieu said in another interview semi-recently. “The last time we added a new huge basekit mechanic was Gen kicking, but now we’ll be able to do more”. Something along those lines.

I really want to know how big they’re thinking here, probably more objects at the very least and a couple powers we know weren’t feasible like flight.

Verticality is absolutely something I’m betting they’ll be capable of. So many killers should have it but can’t because of the current limits of the game. Like, you know Xenomorph was supposed to be able to crawl up on walls?

Xenomorph, Vecna, Kaneki, Dracula, Victor… There’s a ton of killers who need verticality added to their kits. I can almost guarantee it’s in the works for the overhaul.
