Dead by Daylight 2v8 mode release date
I’m thrilled to share that I’ve learned the 2v8 mode in Dead By Daylight is scheduled for release on July 25th! This information was officially announced by Behaviour Interactive as part of their July 2024 development roadmap.
Unfortunately, this feature won’t be a permanent addition to DBD before August 8th. But don’t worry, there are plans for it to come back with updates and enhancements at some point in the future, as BeHaviour mentioned during their livestream that they consider this event as the “initial version”.
At the 2v8 livestream on July 22nd, BeHaviour announced that cross-progression will be available starting from this date. Moreover, they officially revealed that The Casting of Frank Stone is scheduled for release on September 3rd, as previously speculated.

Maps and details
For the first iteration of 2v8 mode, there will only be the following five maps to play on:

- Coldwind farm
The maps will be expanded in size, and each map you choose to play on will include a total of thirteen generators. Survivors’ objective will be to repair a required eight of these generators.
