Dead by Daylight, a popular asymmetrical horror game, recently announced some exciting updates during its 8th-anniversary stream. The biggest news is the addition of Lara Croft as a new survivor in the game, along with the highly anticipated 2v8 mode coming soon.
In the Tomb Raider Chapter, players can now play as Lara Croft from the 2013 reboot version. While she may not have her iconic pistols and bow, she brings three new perks that showcase her adventurous spirit. These perks, named Finesse, Hardened, and Specialist, offer unique abilities that can help players survive the trials.
Additionally, starting on July 25, players can experience the new 2v8 multiplayer mode, where two Killers will face off against eight survivors in extended versions of five classic maps. With double the number of generators to repair and new gameplay mechanics like direct placement of captive survivors in cages, this mode promises to bring a fresh and challenging experience to the game.
One of the most exciting updates is the implementation of cross-progression on July 22. This feature allows players to synchronize their progress across different platforms, except for the Switch, which has some limitations. Now, players can enjoy the game on multiple devices without losing their hard-earned progress.
During the stream, a new trailer was also unveiled for The Casting of Frank Stone, a single-player Dead by Daylight game developed by Supermassive Games, known for titles like Until Dawn and The Quarry. This new game promises to deliver a thrilling experience for fans of the franchise.
Overall, these updates promise to breathe new life into Dead by Daylight, offering players fresh content, exciting gameplay modes, and the convenience of cross-progression. With Lara Croft joining the roster and the introduction of the 2v8 mode, fans have a lot to look forward to in the coming weeks. Get ready to dive into the world of horror and survival with these thrilling additions to the game.
