Edit: I was right, it is a survivor theme for RE characters. It's definitely inspired by Resident Evil. Melancholic piano with strings playing crescendo decrescendo intermittently is such a common pattern in RE save room themes. Could be a RE survivor lobby theme as well. It's something some people have been asking and save room music is quite fitting. EDIT: Some of you are mad at my assumption for some reason so here's how I explain why I think it is inspired by RE save room themes (RE2, RE3 and Code Veronica) Listen to RE2 (even RE3) save room themes, specifically. It really sounds alike. Of course it's not the same, clearly not the same samples, the same EQ, because that game is from 25 years ago. Taking inspiration from or remixing doesn't mean instruments should ALL be the same with the same key and time signature, etc. Also it needs the DbD leitmotiv so... Of course there might be games with a very similar styles, it's not like piano suppported by stringes was a rare thing. It could definitely be something else but that song appeared in the files when there's another crossover of DbD with RE. Why would it be Dark Souls?! Also RE music is suuuuuuper wide, it doesn't have much of a musical print with recurring themes, if that makes sense, it just has the privilege of being a famous and long lasting series of games.

Tbf, Survivors needed themes way before. Laurie should get the same Halloween intro music when you select her, Ash should have had his trailer music extended to a full song and stuff like that.

I can hear the Dead by Dayligh leitmotif in there, so this is almost definitely a lobby theme. Since the only custom survivor lobby themes are for skins and this sounds very RE save room-y, this could very well be Resident Evil survivors menu music. It could also just be general menu music for a new skin pack or something, like they did with AoT. Or, far-fetched idea, but it sort of sounds like the theme of The Ring, the American remake of Ringu. Maybe this is menu music for a Samara Morgan Legendary skin. Ghost Month is coming soon and a new leak suggests that this is the menu music fo a new collection, so maybe we're getting a The Ring Collection. Angry Edit: FINE. I took out the word, "hidden." Can we actually contribute to the discussion now instead of constantly pestering me about phrasing? Yes? Good. Christ al-fucking-mighty.
