Forsaken Upcoming Killers 2026: The Stalker, The Ringmaster & What Is Actually Confirmed
Forsaken upcoming killers, verified against the official wiki: The Stalker is the next planned killer, The Ringmaster is announced alongside him, and no ranked mode, bans or prestige exist on any documented roadmap.

Forsaken upcoming killers, as of September 2026: The Stalker is the next planned killer, arriving in the Intermission - Leader of Lies update alongside The Ringmaster. That is the whole confirmed list. No ranked mode, no killer bans and no prestige system are announced anywhere the wiki documents. This is a roadmap page about Forsaken upcoming killers that only lists what the Official Forsaken Wiki actually records. That makes it shorter than most roadmap articles, and that is the point. Roadmap content is where fabrication thrives — a plausible killer name, a tier ladder, a release quarter — because nobody can check it until the update lands. An earlier version of this very page did exactly that, and it has been replaced. What remains is the confirmed next killer with his documented origin and lore, the character announced alongside him, the framework the wiki uses to grade how confirmed any upcoming character is, what shipped in the most recent update wave, and an explicit list of features that are not on any documented roadmap so you can recognise an invented one when you see it.
The Stalker: the next confirmed killer
The wiki is unambiguous: The Stalker is the next planned killer for Forsaken, coming in the next major update, which is titled Intermission - Leader of Lies. He arrives alongside The Ringmaster. He originates from The Stalker games by MaximumADHD, and Forsaken is adding its own reimagining of the character rather than a straight port.
Documented design
The wiki describes The Stalker as a highly intelligent mutant creature with psychic powers who is capable of near-invisibility. In appearance he is a dark, hunched humanoid with thick arms and legs. That combination — intelligence, psychic ability and stealth — points toward the ambush end of the killer spectrum that Noli currently occupies, but no ability kit, speed or health values are published yet, and this page will not guess at them.
He has already appeared once
The Stalker was temporarily available as a developer-exclusive killer. In that form he could easily outspeed survivors and deal large amounts of damage, which the wiki notes was clearly unbalanced and most likely placed in the game for fun rather than as a preview of his final tuning. Footage from that period exists, and it is not a reliable guide to how he will play at release.
Lore, as documented
The Stalker was created by The Combine Empire after a failed experiment. He escaped containment and killed the rest of his kind, leaving him the lone survivor. That origin sits comfortably alongside Forsaken's existing myth killers — 1x1x1x1, John Doe and Guest 666 all draw on Roblox folklore — while coming from a different creator's universe.
The Ringmaster: announced, not yet detailed
The Ringmaster is named on the wiki as arriving in the same Intermission - Leader of Lies update as The Stalker. Beyond that, there is no dedicated wiki page for the character at the time of writing, which means no documented role, kit, appearance or origin. Anything you read describing The Ringmaster's abilities is either sourced from something the wiki has not yet incorporated or is invented. When a page appears, this section will be expanded to match it — and not before.
Forsaken Roadmap Status Board (September 2026)
Everything the wiki documents about what is coming, what just shipped, and what has never been announced. Status wording follows the wiki's own categories where it has them.
| Item | Status | What the wiki records |
|---|---|---|
| The Stalker | Confirmed — next planned killer | Arrives in Intermission - Leader of Lies; from MaximumADHD's The Stalker games; psychic, near-invisible mutant; was briefly a dev-exclusive killer |
| The Ringmaster | Announced alongside The Stalker | Named for the same update; no wiki page yet, so no kit or role is documented |
| Intermission - Leader of Lies | Next major update | The update carrying both characters; no release date is published |
| John Flow, John Dog, Treachstone | Shipped — 5.0.0 | Three John Doe skins; Treachstone via the CHAPTER III - SYSTEM DELETED badge in The Battle Bricks |
| Martyr 1x1x1x1 | Shipped — collaboration | Chapter 4 - Utopia badge in The Battle Bricks: complete Stage 30 on Chapter 4, Across Heaven |
| Retro Defense Jane Doe | Shipped — collaboration | Home Turf badge in Retro Tower Defense: win three Classic Mode games on any Forsaken map |
| Ranked mode / rank tiers | Not announced | No mention anywhere on the wiki; the only "rank" reference is a VIP chat title setting |
| Killer ban system | Not announced | No mention on the wiki |
| Prestige levels | Not announced | No mention on the wiki; progression is Player Points plus per-character EXP to level 100 |
| "Warden", "Puppeteer", "Architect", "Conductor" | Do not exist | None appear in the wiki's 24-entry Killers category or its Potential characters page |

How the wiki grades an upcoming character
The wiki keeps a Potential characters page with a four-step scale, and reading roadmap claims against it is the fastest way to tell documented from invented. Its own caveat is worth quoting in spirit: a character being officially announced does not guarantee it will reach the game, and announced characters may be scrapped at any time.
Next up
Characters officially announced as coming next. This is the tier The Stalker occupies, and it is the only tier that justifies the word "confirmed" on a roadmap page.
Work done
Characters with enough public development — moveset drafts or models — to warrant their own wiki page. Real, but not scheduled. Slides shown only with the Spectre effect over them do not yet get pages.
Named, then Unconfirmed
Named characters have been officially stated as potential additions with little shown beyond cameos or concept art. Unconfirmed characters have been mentioned somewhere but their inclusion is in doubt. A roadmap article that presents anything from these two tiers as a dated release is overstating what is known — and one that names characters absent from all four tiers is making them up.
Treat "leaks" with suspicion, including on this site historically. Detailed kits for unannounced killers, tier ladders, ban mechanics and release quarters are easy to write and impossible for a reader to check. The Official Forsaken Wiki (forsaken.wiki) is the reliable secondary source: it cites the developers' own announcements, it marks pages as Upcoming or Stub when detail is thin, and it does not publish ability values for characters that have not shipped. If a claim about the roadmap is not on the wiki, assume it is unverified until it is.
What the roster looks like while you wait
Until Intermission - Leader of Lies lands, the killer roster is the seven core killers — John Doe, 1x1x1x1, c00lkidd, Nosferatu, Noli, Slasher and Guest 666 — plus whichever collaboration or event killers are live at the time. The wiki's Killers category runs to 24 entries because it keeps every collaboration killer and name variant that has ever appeared, which is a useful history but not a picture of what you will meet in matchmaking. Two of the seven, c00lkidd and Slasher, are free; John Doe costs 1,000 Player Points and Noli 1,100, earned only in public matches.
Preparing for a stealth killer without guessing his kit
The one thing the wiki does say about The Stalker's design — psychic, near-invisible, highly intelligent — makes Noli the closest current analogue. Survivors who want to be ready can practise against Noli's Void Rush and Nova ambushes now: the habits that beat an ambush killer — not repeating routes, breaking sightlines around solid cover, keeping generator progress banked so an interruption costs less — transfer regardless of the exact numbers The Stalker ships with. Our Noli guide at /blog/forsaken-noli-killer-guide covers that matchup, and the full roster lives on /forsaken-killers.
Where the meta stands
The 5.0.0 update was a collaboration wave — skins and crossover badges — rather than a balance pass, and the wiki has not published 5.0.0 balance notes. Our tier list at /forsaken-tier-list therefore carries the same rankings as before with a dated changelog entry saying exactly that. When The Stalker ships and the wiki publishes his values, that is where the first ranking will appear.
Final Thoughts
Forsaken has one confirmed upcoming killer, The Stalker, arriving in the Intermission - Leader of Lies update with The Ringmaster announced beside him. His design and origin are documented; his kit, stats and release date are not. There is no ranked mode, no ban system and no prestige track on any documented roadmap, and the four named killers that circulated earlier — including on this page — do not exist. Read every roadmap claim against the wiki's Potential characters scale, and treat anything that is not there as unverified.
- • Confirmed next killer: The Stalker (Intermission - Leader of Lies), from MaximumADHD's The Stalker games
- • Announced alongside: The Ringmaster — no wiki page yet, so no documented kit
- • Recently shipped: John Flow, John Dog and Treachstone (5.0.0); Martyr 1x1x1x1 and Retro Defense Jane Doe via collaboration badges
- • Not announced anywhere: ranked mode, rank tiers, killer bans, prestige levels
- • Do not exist: "Warden", "Puppeteer", "Architect", "Conductor"
Learn the current seven on /forsaken-killers, practise the ambush matchup with /blog/forsaken-noli-killer-guide, and watch /forsaken-tier-list for The Stalker's first ranking once the wiki publishes his numbers.
