Bug #5111

Players have shadows while invisible on Nintendo Switch

Status:	Open
Priority:	High
Added by:	korbi on July 4, '26
Assigned to:	Unassigned
Due date:
Reported for:	10.0.0
Actual Result:	You can still see players’ shadows when they have some sort of invisibility effect.
Expected Result:	The player should be rendered completely invisible.
Severity:	Major
Reproducibility:	Frequently
Platform:	Switch 2
Additional Notes & Comments:	Not set

Steps to Reproduce

1. As a killer, wait for the survivor to eat a morsel and gain invisibility.
2. The survivor’s body will be invisible, but you’ll still see their shadow.
3. As a survivor against Jason, when he is in Omnipresent mode, look around the ground.
4. Jason’s shadow will still be visible (similar to Henry on the Upside Down) even when he’s in Omnipresent mode, allowing you to know precisely where he is.

Explanation

I moved from PC to the Switch 2 right before Jason’s release and I found it weird I could see his shadow as a survivor when he was invisible, similar to when Henry is traveling through the upside down. Since I hadn’t seen much PC gameplay from the survivors’ POV I thought this was intended.

But with the Black Banquet I noticed survivors also keep their shadows when invisible, allowing me to keep chasing them as killer, and it wasn’t until I saw streamers playing the mode that I realized survivors are completely untrackable while invisible.
