Summary
New Content: Chorus of Sin
This major update introduces The Judgment, a powerful new Killer capable of summoning Divine Light to strike Survivors and Exiling them to a unique hook-like state. Joining the Survivor roster is Aurora, bringing perks focused on generator efficiency and team-wide aura reading.
System Overhauls
The matchmaking system (MMR) has been fundamentally redesigned to consider a wider range of in-trial actions rather than just kills and escapes. Additionally, the hook timer has been visually split into two bars for better clarity, and a new 'Gameplay Showcase' section allows players to study Killer powers with video examples.
Perk & Gameplay Balance
Significant balance passes have been made to meta perks. Sprint Burst and Deliverance have received notable nerfs, while Nowhere to Hide has been reworked to reveal auras around generators instead of the Killer. Base-kit unhook protections have also been adjusted, reducing Haste/Endurance duration while adding a new 'Elusive' status effect.
