Rumour: Dead by Daylight losing rights to Leatherface and will be removed

The Dead By Daylight leaks and news account is reporting that Leatherface will be removed from all store fronts soon due to the developer losing the rights to the fictional character in The Texas Chainsaw Massacre film series. One of the apparent moderators from the DBDLeaks discord suggested it is due to the Texas Chainsaw Massacre game which is currently being developed by Sumo Digital and published by Gun Interactive sometime this year. Dead by Daylight developers, Behaviour Interactive Inc, haven’t confirmed that Leatherface is leaving and if he is, the reason.
