Dead by Daylight is gearing up for an action-packed February with the introduction of new Resident Evil skins and the anticipated 2v8 mode. Fans of the franchise can look forward to fresh cosmetics for beloved characters, alongside an immersive gameplay experience set in the Resident Evil universe.
New Resident Evil Skins
On February 10th, Dead by Daylight will release a batch of new skins for iconic Resident Evil characters, including Jill Valentine, Ada Wong, Leon S. Kennedy, Rebecca Chambers, Albert Wesker, and Nemesis. One of the standout additions is a legendary skin for Nemesis that introduces the Tyrant, a fearsome and iconic monster from the Resident Evil series, into the game.
In addition to the Resident Evil-themed cosmetics, two other skins are slated for release: one for Sable Ward and another for The Unknown. While these skins aren’t connected to Resident Evil, they add more variety and excitement for players.
Resident Evil 2v8 Mode
The arrival of the Resident Evil skins coincides with the launch of a new 2v8 mode, scheduled to start in February. This mode will feature Nemesis, Wesker, and Legion as the killers, offering a unique challenge and dynamic gameplay. Players can heal infections from both Nemesis and Wesker through special chests scattered across the map. The Birkin and Hunk skins will be available, enhancing the Resident Evil-themed experience, and the iconic Resident Evil lobby will make a return.
In the upcoming Resident Evil-themed 2v8 mode in Dead by Daylight, a new survivor class known as “Meat Shield” will make its debut. This class, as referenced in the game files, will feature an active ability likely centered around a dash maneuver. This dash will enable the survivor to absorb a hit from a killer, providing a crucial moment of protection. Additionally, the Meat Shield class will have the unique capability to stun the killer, adding a strategic layer to the intense 2v8 gameplay and offering survivors a new way to turn the tide in their favor.
Maps and Event Tome
In addition to the Raccoon City Police Department map, players will have the opportunity to explore other locations such as Sanctum of Wrath, Mount Ormond Estate (Resort), Coal Tower, and Gas Station. The event will also feature a Resident Evil 2v8 Event Tome, which is expected to reward players with a Resident Evil-themed Badge and Banner, adding an extra layer of engagement to the event.
Who is the Tyrant?
In the Resident Evil universe, the Tyrant is a class of bio-engineered supersoldiers created by the Umbrella Corporation. Known for their immense strength and resilience, Tyrants are often deployed as ultimate bioweapons against Umbrella’s enemies.
The most recognizable Tyrant is Mr. X, who is infamous for his relentless pursuit of protagonists in Resident Evil 2. His towering presence and near-invulnerability make him a formidable adversary, and his addition to Dead by Daylight as a skin for Nemesis is sure to thrill fans of both franchises.
With the new Resident Evil content, Dead by Daylight continues to expand its roster of horror icons, providing fans with fresh and thrilling experiences. Mark your calendars for February 10th, and get ready to dive into the horror with style!
