that 2v8 accounted for over 40% of all matches played in ***** by Daylight since its debut late last month, even though 2v8 had long ****** times.

that the introduction of 2v8 was "only the first iteration" with intentions to refine the mode before making it a permanent staple in ***** by Daylight. Specifically, the development teams want to address challenges related to 2v8's matchmaking and variety in Killers, along with "a more compelling Survivor experience."

For those unfamiliar, 2v8 mode, as the name implies, is a game mode in ***** by Daylight that increases the player count from 1 ******* and 4 survivors to 2 killers and 8 survivors. With the increase in player count, 2v8 introduces a few changes to the core ***** by Daylight gameplay experience. These include a larger map and the removal of Hooks and Perks.

In our review of ***** by Daylight, which we awarded a 9/10, IGN wrote: "After almost five years, ***** by Daylight has grown into an incredible slasher film simulator and the best asymmetrical multiplayer game around."
