Halloween Horror Nights 32 (UOR) - Speculation & Rumors

[Ringwraith]

With Legacy’s recent tweet saying “if your patient for 6-7 more weeks… maybe you’ll get rewarded with another announcement
” and with Brains post replying to @Ahmanet


I think we can expect the spec map beginning of May.

Unless they plan on announcing some minor things prior to the middle of May, as this post suggests, it's going to be longer for the major cross-park IP announcement.

If there's a major cross-park IP, it's strange that they'd be waiting so long to announce it.

Over on Twitter, HNN seems to be hinting at a medieval dragon house.

Yes, please. It baffles me they've never done a medieval house before.

Did they actually say anything, or are you just referring to an animated GIF they posted showing a dragon? I'm an old fart and don't speak in emojis or gifs, but just a gif shared with no context around the same time that they announced/specified what the next Game of Thrones spinoff is going to be doesn't seem like it's necessarily HHN related.

It's mentioned on the HOH map - maybe HOH is a little bit more in the know than we initially thought!

Or maybe they just grab at random info and hope its right

More specifically, Crossroads deals with the legend of Robert Johnson.

and Netflix just dropped a doc on him... hmmmm.... maybe HHN and Netflix are back together?!!!!! Strangers Things confirmed!!!

My post suggests nothing at all. Just saying if a spec map was said to be expected before an announcement and Legacy said 6-7 weeks and we might get one(which is end of May) that PROBABLY means we will get a spec map beginning of may. That’s just my speculation based of what Legacy and Brain had said.

And he’s also on the 27 Club list.

What if they don’t do another spec map?

Then that’s different information that I had 1 week ago and changes what I previously said.

But I’m interested @Legacy, what makes you say that and what lead HNN not to?

Mark repeatedly saying, publicly, that he’s going to sit back and just let Universal announce things.

 

[Kichkinet85]

Makes sense. I don’t really follow HNN or Mark so this is news to me.

Mark repeatedly saying, publicly, that he’s going to sit back and just let Universal announce things.

I, for one, actually welcome this. Don't get me wrong, speculation maps have always been great and a lot of fun to follow, but at the same time, it always just ruined the surprise element of announcements. Oh man, an IP we've known about for 3 or 4 months!

Honestly, I wouldn't mind that. As much as I do like getting some insight here and there on what could be coming, there is the undeniable truth that Uni put everyone on notice with those IP-traps. They definitely know folks are trying to know, and the destructive echo chamber that happened because of it might've led to folks in the company getting reprimanded.

For me, I'm embracing the unknown and looking forward to getting honestly surprised on what's coming. Having experienced that way back, it's not a bad thing. Heck, forums can go off the charts when that happens, and it's not a barrage of "When's the next announcement?".

Now.....


When's the next announcement?

When's the next announcement?

September 1st :^)

In all seriousness though, I really hope they're serious about pulling back on spec maps. It was kinda fun at first but the more accurate they got sooner in the year, I feel like that really wore off fast and by now was just kinda straight up spoilers. I doubt it's a controversial opinion, but to me the fun of speculation season was always the wild goose chase of trying to know whats coming, rather than actually knowing, even if a few things were spot on, there was always a nice mix of the satisfaction of accurate guesses along with the genuine surprises, really felt like getting to have our cake and eat it too.
I can't really remember the last time we had a year where announcements were a true surprise as they came, but I really hope this is one.

Why was Krampus even rumored in the first place? That feels like an odd one out although I do quite like that house

I mentioned this earlier,

As for Krampus, I had a hunch. People heard "Krampus" and thought it was an original since they already did the IP...when in reality it was being mentioned as the IP, and therefore it was one of the IP-traps laid out by Uni.

Use of IPs and known entities as Codenames.

It’ll make sense.

Because that’s how rumors work. Some are right. Some are wrong. Some are lost in translation.
