Dead By Daylight fans are eagerly anticipating the return of 2v8 mode. It is set to come back next month, and BeHaviour Interactive has already confirmed some new additions.

There will be more iterations of 2v8 mode before it hopefully becomes permanent. Leaks have revealed new killers and maps scheduled to join the LTM next, meanwhile, BeHaviour has explained that some licensed killers might never join 2v8 because of the silliest reason.
