Halloween might have been and gone, but Dead by Daylight is doing its level best to keep the spooky season alive (in a way) by announcing the latest 2v8 crossover, and it’s two big ones! Both Silent Hill and Castlevania will be making their way into The Fog in the latest event, with full gory and glorious details below.
Straight from Behaviour Interactive:
Dead by Daylight’s fan-favorite 2v8 Game Mode is set to close out the year in fearsome fashion, uniting two titans of horror for its most unforgettable iteration yet. From November 6 to 20, SILENT HILL’s Pyramid Head and Castlevania’s Dracula — known within The Fog as The Executioner and The Dark Lord — descend upon the 2v8 Trials, hunting side by side for the first time in gaming history.
The unprecedented crossover brings together two of KONAMI’s most enduring symbols of fear, each carrying a distinct legacy of decades-spanning terror. Steeped in psychological horror, The Executioner, wielding his enormous, rusted blade and the power to directly kill his prey, embodies a relentless brand of punishment born in the fog-shrouded streets of SILENT HILL. The Dark Lord, by contrast, channels gothic grandeur and seductive menace straight from the halls of Castlevania as a shape-shifting predator driven by an unquenchable thirst. Together, their presence transforms The Entity’s 2v8 Trials into a brutal hunt of judgment and bloodlust where no Survivor is safe.
Drawing further from each storied franchise, the event grants all players entering the 2v8 queue access to four free characters for the duration of its run. Joining The Executioner and The Dark Lord are SILENT HILL Survivor Cheryl Mason and Castlevania’s legendary vampire hunter Trevor Belmont—each unlocked and available for all to play throughout the event.
Dead by Daylight’s latest 2v8 update also introduces 4 new Outfits inspired by KONAMI’s legendary characters. The Belmont clan extends its lineage in The Fog with a Legendary Outfit for Trevor Belmont that brings his descendant, the powerful Richter Belmont into the Trials. The Dark Lord himself receives a haunting new look with the Very Rare Scorched Terror Outfit, depicting the blistering wrath of the sun upon his cursed form.
From the world of SILENT HILL, Cheryl Mason embraces a sinister ritual with the Very Rare Awakened Order Outfit, while The Executioner receives the gruesome Very Rare Flayed Torturer Outfit, transforming him into the walking embodiment of suffering.
2v8 Game Mode and the 2v8 Collection featuring SILENT HILL and Castlevania will be available in Dead by Daylight from November 6th to November 20th, 2025.
