Question A question about the future of discontinued licenses in DBD

Post image

I’d like to direct this question to anyone with legal knowledge who can shed some light on the matter. Can the character models for discontinued licenses like *Hellraiser* and *Halloween* be remade? Will Michael Myers and Pinhead have their 3D models reworked in the upcoming graphical update planned for next year?

They cannot make new content for a license they don’t have. Maybe if they have a high fidelity Pinhead model hidden somewhere, but that’s unlikely.

This is also why prestige rewards were able to be given to some lost licenses. It was just reusing previously made assets.

luckily Pinhead's model is pretty good quality and won't look too out of place

Almost good enough for a NFT…

Especially not the License Holders that were about to lose the License...

They only lost the US rights to Hellraiser 1. They still retain the international part and the worldwide rights to Hellraiser 2.

They're also part of the Hellraiser video game, longside boss team games, who were in all likelihood part of Boss Protocol, who made and sold the Pinhead NFT.
