Dead by Daylight's 2v8 Mode Gets Release Date, Trailers & More

As a long-time Dead by Daylight player, I can’t help but get excited about the upcoming 2v8 mode! The idea of having two killers going against eight survivors on larger maps is both terrifying and intriguing. I remember playing other limited-time game modes in the past, like Lights Out or My Little Oni, which introduced fresh gameplay mechanics that kept things interesting.


The 2 versus 8 mode in Dead by Daylight, which features two killers taking on eight survivors, is scheduled to be available from July 25 to August 8, as announced during a recent livestream. In this new game mode, players will experience larger-than-usual maps and an innovative playstyle. The number of generators in each match will increase, while hooks have been replaced with Pyramid Head’s Cage of Atonement. Additionally, there will be three hatches for survivors to find and escape through.

As a long-time fan of this horror game, I must admit that the recent announcements about the changes to its gameplay have left me feeling a bit perplexed. It seems that from now on, players will only be able to choose from a restricted list of killers for each trial. What’s more, two players cannot select the same killer, which adds an extra layer of complexity to the selection process.

The 2vs8 mode in Dead by Daylight isn’t a new experiment from the developers in creating unique gameplay experiences outside of the standard trials. Recently, players have been given the chance to explore various limited-time modes, including Lights Out, My Little Oni, Chaos Shuffle, and a special anniversary Twisted Masquerade queue.

The developers haven’t announced any plans to make the temporary game modes, including 2v8, permanent. However, if these modes garner sufficient interest and positive feedback from players, they could become available permanently in the future. Players can test out the new game mode and share their thoughts starting July 25th.
