New leaks for Bite By Night are starting to spread in the community, and many players believe the next killer update may arrive very soon. Several hints from developer polls, in-game clues, and Discord teasers suggest that the next major addition could be the Puppet (Marionette) from Five Nights at Freddy’s.
Along with this possible update, developers have also revealed plans for multiple future killers that will arrive in separate patches over the next few months. Here is a full breakdown of the latest leaks and what players might expect in upcoming updates.
Current Killers in Bite By Night
Right now, the game already includes several playable killers. These characters form the current roster players face during matches.
The existing killers include:
- Rotten
- Project
- Doppelganger
There are also references to other animatronic killers such as Springtrap, Mimic, and Ennard, which many players believe could appear in future updates. However, the developers have already confirmed that four additional killers are planned for upcoming patches.
Upcoming Killers Confirmed by Developers
According to information shared by the developers and community discussions, the following killers are planned to be added to the game over time:
- Puppet (Marionette)
- Withered Foxy
- Mangle
- Nightmare Freddy
These killers are expected to release one by one across multiple updates, instead of arriving at the same time. This means the game could receive regular content updates over the next few months.
Puppet (Marionette) May Be the Next Killer
Many leaks suggest that Puppet, also known as Marionette, may be the next killer arriving in Bite By Night. The character originally comes from Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, where the Puppet is connected to the story of Charlie, one of the victims in the game’s lore. Several clues hint that this character may appear soon.
In-Game Clues on the Forest Map
Players discovered an interesting message inside the Forest map. On one of the doors, a warning appears that says:
“Don’t listen to the girl’s voice. They show no mercy.”
The door also has the message “Stay Out”, which many players believe is a reference to the Puppet character.
Nearby, players can also find drawings showing a little girl and a puppet holding hands, along with disturbing images of other children. These details strongly resemble the story connected to the Puppet in the Five Nights at Freddy’s series.
Because of these clues, many players believe the Puppet update has been planned for a long time.
New Teaser Shared by Developers
Another major leak appeared in the official Discord server and on social media. A teaser image was posted with the caption: “Don’t listen to the girl’s voice.” The image appears to show the silhouette of the Puppet, which immediately caught the attention of the community. Many players believe this teaser confirms that the Puppet update is already being prepared.
Possible Puppet Abilities (Community Concepts)
While the developers have not revealed official abilities yet, some community members have shared concepts about how the Puppet could work in the game. One idea suggests the Puppet may cost around 2,000 scraps, though many players believe the price could be higher, possibly 5,000–6,000 scraps. Some proposed abilities include:
- Idle Animation – The Puppet floats slightly while the small puppets on its hands move or talk.
- Walk Animation – The Puppet slowly marches forward while controlling small puppets in front.
- Basic Attack (M1) – The Puppet crushes survivors by slamming two puppets together.
- Kill Animation – Small puppets bite the survivor’s head.
These are only fan concepts, but they give players an idea of what the character might look like if it joins the game.
Killer Release Order (Based on Developer Polls)
Developer polls inside the official Discord server suggest a possible order for upcoming killers.
The likely order may be:
- Puppet (Marionette)
- Withered Foxy
- Mangle
- Nightmare Freddy
A community poll also showed Nightmare Freddy winning by a large margin for a future killer slot, which means the character will probably appear later in the update cycle.
When Could the Puppet Update Release?
There is no official release date yet, but many players believe the update could arrive very soon.
Based on current teasers and developer activity, the Puppet update may release:
- Within the next week
- Or within the next two weeks
However, this is still speculation until the developers confirm the official update schedule.
The upcoming Bite By Night updates look promising, especially with multiple new killers planned for release. The Puppet appears to be the most likely character arriving first, followed by other popular animatronics like Withered Foxy, Mangle, and Nightmare Freddy. If the leaks turn out to be correct, players can expect several major updates over the next few months that will expand the killer roster and bring fresh content to the game.
