Dead by Daylight Welcomes Back 2v8 Mode with Resident Evil Collaboration

Dead by Daylight's thrilling new 2v8 mode, a crossover with the Resident Evil franchise, pits iconic Capcom villains against familiar heroes. This limited-time event offers a fresh take on the core gameplay.

Players can assume the roles of two formidable antagonists: Nemesis and Albert Wesker (The Puppeteer). They'll face off against a team of Resident Evil survivors, including Jill Valentine, Leon Kennedy, Claire Redfield, and Ada Wong. The intense action unfolds within the infamous Raccoon City Police Station.

This collaboration marks the first time Nemesis and Wesker are paired as Killers in this game mode, creating a unique dynamic. Each Killer utilizes their signature infection-based abilities: Nemesis employs the T-Virus, while Wesker harnesses the power of Uroboros to hunt down Survivors.

The 2v8 mode introduces Resident Evil-inspired herbs. Survivors can use these for healing, while yellow herbs repair hooks. Killers can also collect herbs for a temporary speed boost, adding a strategic layer to the gameplay.

Significant changes await both new and veteran players. The traditional Power and Perk systems have been replaced with a new Class System, offering diverse strategic choices for both Killers and Survivors.

The Dead by Daylight x Resident Evil event runs until February 25th. Don't miss this chilling fusion of horror and strategic combat!
