Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

The New Gamemodes

This post is about the recent player satisfaction survey, and I think I'm speaking for almost everyone when I say this:


We want the 2v8 and the 5v5 gamemodes as soon as possible. I'm sure the results will reflect something similar, but this game has needed a better sense of cooperation for a long time.

A killer teaming with survivors in a 5v5? Amazing. Absolutely great chance to reduce toxicity by showing players that the other side is as human as them. Killers get to sympathize for the survivors that get tunneled/slugged or whatever exists in the gamemode. Survivors get to see a killer doing his best to win them precious time, etcetera.


Or, the 2v8. Killers finally getting a friend is just insane. I've been a killer main for such a ridiculous amount of time, and simply don't enjoy playing survivor. Sometimes though, it does get lonely. Not lonely enough to torture myself with doing generators, but enough to wish I had another person that shares my burden. I want to feel like there should be more to killer than just looping and gen pressure — coordination with a new teammate.


And we absolutely need these modes to be *PERMANENT.*

These might be just exactly what DbD needs for that fresh feel, and shouldn't be overlooked as some tiny potential event.

Maybe the 5v5 is too niche, but 2v8 resembles the core game enough to actually be permanent.

Please, we beg of you to release these without making us wait over a year.
