As a seasoned survivor of countless terrifying encounters with the horrifying entities that lurk in the dark corners of Dead by Daylight, I must say that the latest leaks about the upcoming 2.8 update have me both excited and apprehensive.
Among the most enjoyable aspects of Dead By Daylight this year was the debut of the 2v8 mode. Fans are eagerly waiting for it to become a permanent feature, but currently Behaviour Interactive are viewing it as an ongoing development process, with each iteration enhancing and expanding the mode. The date and time when Dead By Daylight 2v8 2.0 commences is fast approaching, and there’s much to look forward to from confirmed new killers to intriguing leaks.
For the Dead By Daylight community, there’s a lot to look forward to this month! Behaviour Interactive has unveiled the complete roadmap for November 2024, and they’ve even moved up the release of Chapter 34 from December. Although we’re just a few weeks away from the final instalment of the year landing on all platforms, the Public Test Build (PTB) has already given us a sneak peek at fantastic perks for The Houndmaster and Taurie Cain.
Until now, Chapter 34 PTB has been a privilege exclusive to Steam gamers. However, starting tomorrow, everyone can experience the comeback of the 2v8 mode in Dead By Daylight (DBD). The end of the countdown for its release date and start time is imminent, and it’s scheduled to remain active for several weeks.
