I personally don't care either way about EDB.. I had only heard an IP had been pulled within the last week.... To be honest, the rumbles I heard could have been about Terrifier, but my brain did not register that because I know people have been cast specifically for that role... Of course, there have been people cast for all the houses (and zones) too, so there is that. The way it was worded to me implied a house, but that was not overtly stated, and they may not have known which IP, only AN IP. Nothing is nothing until announced, and even then, things can change.
The other rumbling I heard is that the Fortnight announcement may not be traditional, and may be announced IN GAME instead of by Universal.
