DARK DECEPTION CHAPTER 1-4 is getting another Enhanced update known as Enhanced +.

This update will have change in lighting, new gameplay additions and cutscene additions. Cutscene additions MOST SPECIFICALLY FOR CHAPTER 4

Here, in Chapter 3 Retribution’s second level i.e. CRAZY CARNEVIL, Clown Spiders have been replaced by the Clown Gremlins during the boss fight. So now, instead of Clown Gremlins getting spawned by the Goliath Clowns, Clown Spiders in Frenzy Mode will he spawned. There is a chance of Clown Spiders being in Zone 2 of Crazy Carnevil as well, as it is a very easy zone with not much threat. Another reason for why they could be in Zone 2 is because there are illustrations of Clown Spiders on the walls.

Now, this indicates that CH5 Fated Conclusion is complete. Because there is NO good reason I can find for why they would work on Enhanced + side by side with CH5. So it means we can expect CH5 to come out with Enhanced +, and SDD complete in Sept(most likely cuz CH1/CH4 anniversary), or in Nov.

Another reason that justifies this is that they said replying to their post that :

‘Yes, we are updating CH1-CH4 for the release of CH5 as well, both visually and some minor gameplay additions (like this one). This video does not include any visual updates.’

The line ‘WE ARE UPDATING CH1-4 FOR THE RELEASE OF CH5 AS WELL’ sounds like only that is now left for CH5’s release, which further means that CH5 is done. And we can now get our hopes up. So CH5 WILL NOT COME OUT IN 2025 guys, we’re LUCKY.

And September is in 89 days!!!

So now you can expect teaser trailers, or just teasers, or even voice reveals!!
