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

Dead by Daylight's thrilling new 2v8 mode, a collaboration 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 infamous antagonists: Nemesis and Albert Wesker (The Puppeteer). They'll hunt a team of Resident Evil survivors, including Jill Valentine, Leon Kennedy, Claire Redfield, and Ada Wong. The intense action unfolds within the iconic Raccoon City Police Station.

This crossover uniquely pairs Nemesis and Wesker for the first time in this game mode, creating a distinctive experience. Each Killer utilizes their signature infection abilities: Nemesis employs the T-Virus, while Wesker wields the power of Uroboros.

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

Significant gameplay changes include a new Class System, replacing traditional Powers and Perks, adding strategic depth 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 gameplay!
