2v8 is returning to Dead by Daylight, with a Resident Evil-themed event kicking off on February 10. However, there will be some changes this time around, as the devs want to keep the queue times down for killers.
Speaking to us in an interview, senior designer Jean Escalante said that the devs would put up to two bots in a lobby, so killers aren't left waiting for a team of survivors. Some feared that this would mean every 2v8 match would have a couple of bots, prompting the devs to clarify exactly how this will work.

On social media, the Dead by Daylight team tells fans that matches will only "occasionally" add up to two survivor bots. It's further stated that this will not happen automatically, and will only be in place when they are needed to avoid a long queue time.
"In order to alleviate long Killer queues for this iteration of 2v8, we [will] occasionally add up to 2 Survivor bots to lobbies that may need them," reads the post on social media....
