Dead by Daylight brings back 2v8 Mode with a Resident Evil twist

In February, the thrilling 2v8 Mode from Dead by Daylight is making a comeback, and it’s introducing a fresh spin on this mode inspired by the game’s Resident Evil content. Three new killers – Albert Wesker, Nemesis, and The Legion – have been incorporated into the roster for this round of the mode, each bringing their distinctive traits to the global match dynamics. The excitement starts next week and continues until late February.

In a recent press release and teaser video posted on social media, Behaviour Interactive announced the reintroduction of the 2v8 Mode inspired by Resident Evil, in Dead by Daylight from February 10 to February 25, 2025. Two iconic characters – The Nemesis (from Resident Evil 3) and The Mastermind (Albert Wesker) – will join the game as Killers. These characters can infect and weaken players, but players can find crates containing green herbs to heal infections and yellow herbs to remove a hooked status. Interestingly, smashing the herbs can benefit the Killers by providing them with a speed boost.

They meet at last.

Alongside Wesker and Nemesis, and adding to the mix, Behaviour’s original antagonist, The Legion, will enter the battlefield. Meanwhile, the Raccoon City Police Department has been incorporated into the rotating maps for the 2v8 game mode.

In the year 2021, Nemesis joined Dead by Daylight alongside Leon Kennedy and Jill Valentine. The following year, Wesker and two other characters, Rebecca Chambers and Ada Wong, made their appearance. Both of these pairs have infection mechanisms, but they employ them uniquely. Their addition to the intense 2v8 Mode promises an exciting dynamic in any scenario.

Absolutely, the Resident Evil-themed 2v8 Mode is only available for a limited time, starting from February 10. Don’t miss out, dive into Dead by Daylight during this period. Additionally, keep an eye on our Dead by Daylight section here at Shacknews for further updates and news.
