"2v8 Mode Returns to Dead by Daylight with Resident Evil"

Dead by Daylight has joined forces with the Resident Evil series to introduce an electrifying new 2v8 mode. This special event brings iconic villains from Capcom's legendary franchise, injecting a thrilling new dimension into the gameplay experience.

Players can embody two notorious antagonists: Nemesis and Albert Wesker, also known as The Puppeteer. They'll confront a squad of Resident Evil's most celebrated heroes, including:

  • Jill Valentine
  • Leon Kennedy
  • Claire Redfield
  • Ada Wong

These intense showdowns unfold within the iconic Raccoon City Police Station.

This collaboration is particularly groundbreaking as it marks the first time Nemesis and Wesker are teamed up in this type of gameplay, offering a truly unique experience. Both characters harness their signature infection-based abilities: Nemesis with the T-Virus, and Wesker with Uroboros to target Survivors.

In the 2v8 mode, players can gather special herbs inspired by the Resident Evil series. Some herbs offer healing to Survivors, while yellow herbs can be used to repair hooks. Intriguingly, Killers can also collect herbs, which provide them with a temporary speed boost.

Whether you're a newcomer to the 2v8 mode or a veteran, there are significant changes to be aware of. The conventional Powers and Perks have been substituted with a new Class System, opening up a range of strategic options for both Killers and Survivors.

The Dead by Daylight x Resident Evil collaboration will be available until February 25, giving players plenty of time to dive into this thrilling crossover. Don't miss your chance to experience this unique fusion of horror and strategy!
