When does 2v8 return to Dead by Daylight? Date confirmed
More killers, but more survivors too.
Dead By Daylight (DBD) is one of the most popular multiplayer horror games ever. It features plenty of horror icons, and the popular 2v8 game mode is finally set to return in DBD for fans to enjoy.
Below, we’ll explore everything we know about its return, when it is confirmed to arrive, what to expect from this iteration and some quotes from the developers that offer further insight.
The game was first released in 2016 and has only continued to grow in popularity. More characters, including Chucky, the Xenomorph, Pinhead, and more, were consistently added during that time.
Now let's get into it.
When does 2v8 return to Dead by Daylight? Date confirmed
2v8 will return to DBD on Tuesday 12th November and be in the game for two weeks, leaving again on 26th November. The mode will have even more Killers and Maps than ever before.
It’s a shame the mode is only the for a couple of weeks, but it will no doubt return again in the future, keeping it an event when it appears.
“The team was incredibly excited to see the community’s reaction to the original release of 2v8,” stated Justin Brown, the DBD Product Director.
“Part of the reason we’re putting out this second iteration on this timeline is that we just really want to get this back in players’ hands.
"We don’t want people to have to wait 6 months to play again, and on our end, we don’t want to wait another 6 months for more feedback. We’re hoping to keep this same approach moving forward."
This lends itself to the idea we will see the game mode again in the future.
