"Resident Evil Joins Dead by Daylight for 2v8 Mode Revival"

Dead by Daylight has joined forces with the iconic Resident Evil series to introduce an exhilarating new 2v8 mode, offering players a unique twist on their gaming experience. This special event brings to life some of Capcom’s most notorious villains, enriching the gameplay with a thrilling narrative.

Gamers can now embody two legendary antagonists: Nemesis and Albert Wesker, also referred to as The Puppeteer. They will confront a squad of Resident Evil’s most celebrated heroes, including:

  • Jill Valentine
  • Leon Kennedy
  • Claire Redfield
  • Ada Wong

The battleground for these intense encounters is set within the iconic Raccoon City Police Station, familiar to fans of the Resident Evil franchise.

This collaboration stands out as it marks the first time Nemesis and Wesker have been paired together in this style of gameplay, offering a truly unique experience. Each character brings their distinctive infection-based abilities to the fray: Nemesis harnesses the power of the T-Virus, while Wesker employs Uroboros to hunt down Survivors.

In the 2v8 mode, players can gather special herbs inspired by the Resident Evil series. These herbs serve various purposes; some offer healing for Survivors, while yellow herbs are utilized to repair hooks. Interestingly, Killers can also collect herbs, which temporarily boost their speed, adding a strategic layer to the gameplay.

Whether you're a newcomer or a veteran of the 2v8 mode, it's crucial to be aware of the significant updates. The traditional Powers and Perks have been substituted with a new Class System, introducing a diverse array of strategic options for both Killers and Survivors.

The Dead by Daylight x Resident Evil event will run until February 25, providing ample opportunity for players to dive into this captivating crossover. Don’t miss the chance to experience this unique fusion of horror and strategy!
