Summary
Dead by Daylight’s Lights Out mode may be coming back in September 2024. WithDead by Daylightintroducing many experimental celebrations, events, and modifiers over the years, it’s not a surprise that some fans have taken a liking to a few of them. While many of these modes and events are only available for a limited time, there are quite a few that have made a regular appearance throughout each season.
The most recent mode that a lot of fans were able to experience was the much-requested2v8 mode inDead by Daylight. This modifier saw two killers face off against eight survivors. The gameplay dynamics also changed as both Killers and Survivors were forced to utilize a select skill set. Unique takes like this are what helps keepDead by Daylightfeel fresh even if the game is already eight years old. Surprisingly, while 2v8 was probably the most fun introduced in a while, it seems that Behaviour may be bringing back another mode for fans to experience.
According toDead by Daylightinsider and Twitter user dvveet, the developers may be bringing Lights Out mode back in September.Dead by Daylight’s Lights Outmade its way into the game in February 2024 and saw maps become significantly darker while also removing perks, items, add-ons, and offerings. Many of dvveet’s teases, leaks, and information have proven to be accurate in the past, so there might be substance to this rumor.
What Should Fans Expect When Lights Out Comes Back?
However, according to dvveet’s information, there will be a slight change if the modifier returns in September. The return of Lights Out will see players gain access to a lantern which Survivors can place near generators, most likely to add more luminance. In turn, Killers will be able to knock down said lanterns. In addition, dvveet has confirmed that many of the previous modifiers will be returning, including 2v8 and Chaos Shuffle. With Lights Out being the mode that really started to experiment with how to change gameplay, it’s interesting that Behaviour will also be improving and testing out newevents inDead by Daylight.
Fans replying to dvveet’s tweet chimed in on what adjustments to Lights Out they thought were needed . Some mentioned that playing a Killer in the mode was way easier than being a Survivor. A few asked if it would be possible for the developers to keep future modifiers permanently playable. At the time of its initial release,Dead by Daylight’s Lights Out was a great ideato shake things up. Whether this new iteration will live up to the expectations set out by the previous event is an early question that players are already wondering about.
