About 2v8
I read a lot of people being hyped about that but do we have any official info about this mode coming to DBD ?

Just speculation, but they did put it in as one of the options on their survey for "what game modes would you like to see".

Would be so great to have.

No, and its pretty unlikely to ever come. The game isnt even balanced at the actual mode, and a 2vs8 would require changes to legit every aspect of the game.

They are definitely considering this as a time limited event mode like the upcomig Lights Out.
though the maps aren’t big enough and would need adjustments here and the game already had problems running with the two Nemesis zombies as is. Imagine 10 players and possibly 4 zombie bots 💀

Now that they are introducing limited time events like Lights Out, I think there is a strong possibility of this happening. I haven't heard anything official though. But I have seen videos of people running a private server with 2 killers and there were a lot of unintended issues. For example, Agitation gives a run speed bonus to the killer carrying a survivor. Turns out the bonus applied to both killers. So one killer would backpack a survivor around and the other killer would run at crazy speeds. There are a lot of little quirky things like that which would need to be addressed so I don't know if they want to spend that kind of time working on a limited time event.

With their lovely game code, I would be afraid to try it. It would probably end up with fried cpus.

Do you really want to see Nurse and Blight team up?

When and where did they consider this ?

In one of the recent surveys they have asked which possible game modes out of a set of 10 or so the players prefer over others. Lights out was among them and is now being implemented. 2v8 was one as well iirc.

Nemesis couldn't have single extra zombie due to older consoles and performance, hell even without that supposed extra zombie the re patch was plagued with performance issues. Unless they've massively overhauled their resource bottlenecks I would be surprised if they could manage to include an extra 4 survivors worth of things to handle/track as well as another killers items(picture the worst case scenario - nemesis and some other trap based killer, perhaps singu). They can have it an as option on as many polls as the want, history suggests that older hardware would be a large issue.

Maybe for a limited time. As a main mode, probably not. I think if they make the maps bigger, and they have 2 killers though that could be fun for them to comm up and get the pesky survivors. I can think of nothing worse though if everything stays the same and they just up the number of people playing on the assets as is now.

There's no real info, there is speculation however that Killers would be limited to playing as 2 Pyramid Heads only, mainly because the mode also included "cages of atonment will prevail" with it's subtext. Possibly being a loose refrence to Silent Hill 2 itself with that one boss fight with 2 Pyramid Heads. Edit: Or it's just to make sure all survivors can be hooked, might be too easy to sabo everything or hook's staying broken would create bleed out games, who knows.
Otherwise probably would have restrictions placed on both sides, such as perk slot's being reduced to 2 for each survivor and only a handful of killer's to pick from, if you were to go off with what there doing with the Light's Out rule set so it's not just DBD with Nightfall always active.
