Dead by Daylight has joined forces with the iconic Resident Evil series to introduce an exhilarating new 2v8 mode that promises to redefine gameplay. This special event brings to life some of Capcom’s most terrifying villains, offering a fresh and thrilling twist to the experience.
Players have the chance to embody two notorious antagonists: Nemesis and Albert Wesker, also known as The Puppeteer. These villains go head-to-head against a squad of Resident Evil’s most celebrated heroes, including Jill Valentine, Leon Kennedy, Claire Redfield, and Ada Wong. The battleground for these intense encounters is none other than the iconic Raccoon City Police Station.
What makes this collaboration stand out is the unprecedented pairing of Nemesis and Wesker in a 2v8 format, delivering a unique gameplay experience. Both characters harness their signature infection-based abilities: Nemesis wields the T-Virus, while Wesker deploys Uroboros to target Survivors, adding layers of strategy to the matches.
Within the 2v8 mode, players can gather special herbs inspired by the Resident Evil series. These herbs serve multiple purposes; some heal Survivors, while yellow herbs are used to repair hooks. Interestingly, Killers can also collect herbs, which provide them with a temporary speed boost, enhancing the tactical depth of the game.
Whether you're a newcomer or a veteran of the 2v8 mode, it's crucial to note the significant changes introduced. The conventional Powers and Perks system has been replaced by a new Class System, which offers a wide array of strategic choices for both Killers and Survivors, further enriching the gameplay experience.
The Dead by Daylight x Resident Evil crossover will be available until February 25, giving players plenty of time to dive into this thrilling blend of horror and strategy. Don't miss your chance to experience this unique gaming event!
