Foreskin head !
Now that's a much better design than the weaklings we had in KF2... Standing at 1.93m tall no less? Can't remember them being that tall in the second game either ! Sure, they're maybe a tad too similar to the possessed from Doom... But at least, they look like proper monsters begging to get blasted by a shotgun !
I'm also curious about their "nickname" being Cambion... If mythology serves me right, it could indicate that cysts are the "children" of much more powerful zeds... That'd be interesting to see a new symbiosis between multiple creatures. But maybe I'm looking way too hard into it...
I sure hope it means the hype train is finally kicking in, and that we'll see plenty of new content on a regular basis. I'm all for frequent bite-sized teaser like this !
The only fear I have now is regarding their "blindness" ability... It would surely set them apart from Slashers and Clots, and make them a far scarier opponent than the mere cannon-fodder they used to be. But going blind in a FPS...? That sounds incredibly annoying... I do hope it's more of a somewhat blurry screen than anything, and an ability that you can avoid most of the time unless you're not paying attention. If cysts still spawn in squads, I'm shaking at the idea of having 4-5 of them lobbing projectiles at my face at once !

they look even more tortured than the cysts we've released from their miserable existence up to now - and more dangerous, as well... mercy killings shall commence, again

I could be wrong here, but Cambion is listed as their weapon class so I think its sort of the in-universe version of referring to Cysts as "trash zeds".
Clots, Slashers, Crawlers, etc would all be Cambion Class specimens while a Flesh Pound or Scrake would be Demon class or something.

"Our most recent model comes to market with a variety of new features—including a biological projectile that can cause temporary blindness."
If you look in the background when the Cysts are all running you can spot one with it's "tongue" out, I'm guessing it spits on you and blinds you

Please, please no screen-covering effects. Sometimes I literally can't play KF because of the effects from Elite Crawlers and Bloats.

Expanding on my earlier post...
The new Cyst looks amazing! I'm glad to see Tripwire using UE5 to its fullest and making enemies with remarkable design. It looks like... well, you know what it looks like! I can't wait to fight these.
All I ask is that you please keep player experience and accessibility in the front of your minds when designing enemy capabilities. Sometimes I really can't play Killing Floor because the screen effects are way too much, and that isn't helped by not having a stable, unmoving crosshair in the center of the screen.
Thank you.
