DBD x Resident Evil 2v8 Mode: Start Time, Skins, Leaks & Countdown

by

2025 sees an action-packed year for Dead By Daylight, with the February roadmap marking the beginning in grand style through the third version of the 2v8 mode. This Limited Time Mode has been a blast since its debut, but this time around it promises to be even more thrilling due to the Resident Evil theme. The countdown for the start date and time of Dead By Daylight x Resident Evil 2v8 mode is almost up, and there’s plenty for fans to look forward to before launch, such as skill leaks and new skins.

Dead By Daylight x Resident Evil 2v8 mode release date

The planned launch of the Dead By Daylight x Resident Evil 2v8 mode is set for February 10th. This information, initially shared by Aricarna on the DBDLeaks Discord, has now been officially verified by Behaviour Interactive.

For the first time, the Long-Term Memory (LTM) is introducing licensed assassins. Previously, BeHaviour’s Mathieu Cote raised concerns about obtaining approval for teaming up licensed killers in a 2v8 setting. However, it seems logical with Wesker and Nemesis, as they originate from the same intellectual property owned by Capcom.

The start of the Dead By Daylight x Resident Evil 2v8 game mode is scheduled to begin at 8:00 AM Pacific Time, 11:00 AM Eastern Time, or 4:00 PM Greenwich Mean Time on February 10th.

Behavior has suggested that they’ll make a change permanent, but as of now, it hasn’t been implemented. Once Long-Term Memory (LTM) is back, we can experience this change only till February 25th.
