Dead by Daylight is a multiplayer (4vs1) horror game where one player takes on the role of the savage Killer, and the other four players play as Survivors, trying to escape the Killer and avoid being caught, tortured and killed.

Survivors play in third-person and have the advantage of better situational awareness. The Killer plays in first-person and is more focused on their prey.

The Survivors' goal in each encounter is to escape the Killing Ground without getting caught by the Killer - something that sounds easier than it is, especially when the environment changes every time you play.

The game features procedurally generated levels, so players never experience a repetitive map. Be the killer and massacre all your victims before they escape, by using your speed and power in 1st person, or team up with your friends to try and outwit the killer with your superior awareness and agility in a 3rd person's view as he hunts you through a nightmare world.

Players take on the role of both killer and survivors in a deadly game of cat and mouse. It’s a Mature Gamer take on the thrills of Hide & Seek!

Dead by Daylight’s ever-popular and chaotic 2v8 Game Mode returns to The Fog once more, bringing with it a fresh wave of gameplay updates, along with an expansion to the beloved Attack on Titan Collection. Running as always for a limited time from April 28th to May 19th, this latest iteration continues to grow and refine the 2v8 experience, while delivering a highly requested series of striking new Outfits inspired by the acclaimed anime. 

A Titanic Collection

Debuting in 2022 with a robust Collection of 10 Outfits, Attack on Titan remains one of Dead by Daylight’s most popular cosmetic releases. In the years that followed, demand for more iconic characters and themes from the series has only grown – and what better way to release them than as part of the game’s oversized 2v8 Mode.

The featured newcomers to the Collection are headlined by the fearsome Attack Titan Legendary Outfit for The Trapper, transforming him into a towering force of destruction within The Fog. Other notable additions include a trio of Very Rare Survivor Outfits that see Jake Park embody Cleaning Levi, Yui Kimura don Mikasa’s Dark Uniform, and Thalita Lyra step into Sasha’s Uniform. 

Survivors Renato Lyra, Adam Francis, Mikaela Reid, and Haddie Kaur will also all receive the Queen’s Ball Attire Outfit, while Feng Min and Meg Thomas get the Heart of Freedom Outfit.

Players can also look forward to the return of the Attack on Titan lobby to Dead by Daylight.

Fine-Tuning the Chaos

Each iteration of 2v8 continues to refine the Mode’s balance and gameplay based on player feedback and in-game data. This round kicks off with two Killers receiving some 2v8-specific buffs and nerfs to hone their experience.

The Deathslinger’s buffs aim at improving his overall effectiveness, including reduced penalties when reloading and missing shots, allowing for smoother more consistent gameplay. Meanwhile, The Oni sees a slight nerf to rein in his dominance, with an increased uptime reduction after successfully downing a Survivor in Demon Mode. 

New Cage system updates are also being introduced to improve the 2v8 Survivor experience. The bleed-out timer now pauses for a short time when a Cage relocates, giving Survivors more space to coordinate rescues. Cage relocation time has also been reduced to maintain match pacing and encourage more active teamwork.

The 2v8 Map rotation also continues to grow with the addition of Temple of Purgation, and Ironworks of Misery. Both Maps have been specifically adjusted to accommodate 2v8 gameplay.

Earn Your Wings

Finally, since it wouldn’t be a proper themed 2v8 without some Attack on Titan rewards, players will of course be able to complete a series of Quests to unlock some must-have loot including an Attack on Titan Badge, Banner, and Charm. 

The Attack on Titan 2v8 Game Mode will be available in Dead by Daylight for a limited time from April 28th to May 19th.

Behaviour has implemented Cross-Play across PlayStation, Xbox and Nintendo Switch, allowing players on console and PC to face trials together, while Cross-Friends will let you create a friends list that is cross-platform and enjoy an unprecedented multiplayer experience in their favorite multiplayer horror game.  

Dead by Daylight is available for Nintendo Switch, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC.
