The game has been trying to revitalize itself by testing new activities for players to enjoy, and this includes the aforementioned 2v8 mode.
The developers revitalized the game by introducing different modes such as Dead in daylight's Lights Out, Chaos Shuffle, My Little Oni and others. Some of these game variants have been made available more than once at set times. However, it was the introduction of 2v8 that warranted fans' attention. The mode had long been fantasized by many players, and its debut in the game made many feel happy with the developers' decision. It seems to be the newest Dead in daylight update will give the community a chance to experience it one more time.
