Dead by Daylight's 2v8 Mode Will Return, But May Not Ever Be Permanent

As a dedicated Dead by Daylight player with countless hours lost to the foggy realms of Haddonfield and The Fog, I must say that I’m cautiously optimistic about the future of the 2v8 mode. Mandy’s clarification on the DBD Forums has certainly shed some light on the situation, but it also leaves us hanging with a tantalizing “maybe” regarding its permanence.

In the Dead by Daylight forums, Mandy, a Community Manager and developer, confirmed that the 2v8 game mode may see additional updates, but its permanence hasn’t been decided yet. This statement was made in response to a user who suggested that Dead by Daylight is currently in an open beta phase, with developers tweaking the mode for quality improvements before potentially making it permanent.

Mandy, the community manager, clarified that it wasn’t exactly what was stated earlier. What we have verified is the addition of further iterations with more killers incorporated each time, but we haven’t confirmed that these changes will become permanent at any point. This process requires careful balancing and resource allocation.

Speculation has been growing about whether or not the 2v8 game mode in Dead by Daylight will become permanent, as Community Manager Peanuts mentioned on the forums that they plan to refine and perfect the mode before considering making it a permanent fixture. However, it’s important to note that Peanits didn’t imply that the decision had already been made; rather, he stated that there is work to be done before it can even be considered at this time. The Dead by Daylight team further clarified on Reddit in August that they are focusing on improving the mode before any potential permanent implementation.

Essentially, Behavior might be pondering over making 2v8 a permanent feature down the line, but they’re currently focusing on resolving balance concerns and increasing content before considering it. A common complaint from players revolves around extended queue times during event modes, particularly for 2v8 Killers and standard trials participants, as they often face difficulties finding matches.

2v8 has only experienced two rounds of updates thus far, and there are significant alterations being made in the current one. There’s ample opportunity for Behaviour to make adjustments, as future iterations unfold. It’ll be intriguing to observe how this mode evolves over time, and whether it might eventually become a permanent feature. For the present, the second round of 2v8 will be accessible from November 12, 2024, until November 26, 2024.

Moving on to some fresh updates, let me clarify potential reasons as to why Wesker and Nemesis may never join the roster for 2v8, along with a possible explanation for why fans of series such as Attack on Titan might not witness their preferred characters in the mode either.
