Pennywise would not work as a killer and here's why

Pennywise cannot kill anyone who's not scared and in turn needs to be shown their worse fears. Unless they gave him a random ability there would be no way to have him function well as a killer. Yes a lot of people want a clown killer and the new movie just came out but unless you want to not only throw out his lore and DbD lore he would not work at all. They'll likely make a clown killer but don't expect it to be Pennywise and if it is somehow Pennywise that'd be a huge disapointment.

Also I feel like licensing something that was recently refreshsed (yes I know the original was ages ago) would probably be more expensive.

..How would that not work for this game?

Let me see if I get this game's ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of a lore correctly quick.

The entitiy pretty much serves as the ultimate power anyway. Infact: From what I understand: The entity as a being is pretty much what It is. Is that much to imagine that the people in here would be afraid of a Pennywise looking entitity in the game?

Infact: It makes a ton of sense to me with him being here. They would be scared because the hook does that. Infact: the final form the entity takes while people are hooked is similar to that what Pennywise's form is that humans can see.

It makes a TON of sense.

Just saying calm down with the Infact lol but here's the thing, unless you assume every survivor is afraid of clowns this won't make much sense. Also in the lore the survivors get to the point where they expect to die and it slowly progresses until they just lose everything about them. Also Pennywise purposely takes the form of a clown to lure in children and as all the survivors are 18+ he'd just be a clown for the hell of being a clown so it really just wouldn't make sense

The problem is, you not understanding the lore of Pennywise.

He takes the form of the clown to lure in but it's also to frighten and it's because it's the form It prefers.

Him being a clown with the widen mouth, running at anyone is going to scare anyone and they can easily change a bit of his lore by saying "What we percieve is the clown but what the survivors percieve is their greatest fear chasing them"
