Dead by Daylight's highly-requested 2v8 mode has seen an enthusiastic response from the gaming community, prompting Behaviour Interactive to extend its trial period by two weeks. Originally set to end, the mode will now be available until August 15, 2024. The studio announced that 2v8, which features two killers and eight survivors, has accounted for over 40% of matches played since its debut, despite experiencing long queue times. Behaviour Interactive indicated plans for improvements before potentially making 2v8 a permanent feature.

What is the 2v8 mode in Dead by Daylight? The 2v8 mode is a new gameplay variation that increases the player count from the standard 1 killer and 4 survivors to 2 killers and 8 survivors. This mode modifies key aspects of gameplay, including a larger map and the elimination of Hooks and Perks to enhance the multiplayer experience.

First launched in June 2016, Dead by Daylight has evolved into a premier asymmetrical multiplayer game, blending horror and strategy. The introduction of 2v8 reflects the developers' commitment to keeping the game fresh and engaging, catering to player desires for larger team dynamics and novel gameplay settings.
