Deadlock has a brilliant cast of characters, but some players are growing increasingly afraid of one of them: Yamato. A few people have even pointed out that she looks like the woman in the painting from Stephen King's IT, which I honestly couldn't see at first, but the more I look at the side-by-side comparison, the more terrified I am.
Late last Friday, after spending months pretending that its worst-kept secret didn't exist, Valve revealed Deadlock to the world. The official announcement came with Valve's blessing for public discussion, meaning that streamer takes, fan sites, and social media conversations could finally reference the third person shooter MOBA's closed alpha test in the open. Now that speaking its name isn't a thought crime, notable Deadlock players are telling us their takes—and a lot of them think Valve's lining up another hit.
Deadlock, the upcoming MOBA shooter developed by Valve, was a very open secret in video game circles despite never being announced. Valve changed that over the weekend by quietly releasing a tiny teaser and publishing the store page, which is as good an announcement as any.
This weekend's two new shooters show off the best and worst of what companies can expect from launching live service games.
It’s no secret that Valve has slowed down considerably in terms of developing new titles. After releasing some of the best games of all time with the likes of Portal, Left 4 Dead, and Half-Life, we haven’t seen much in the way of software from the team since Half-Life: Alyx. After tons of rumors, leaks, and hard evidence have appeared around a new game called Deadlock, Valve has finally publicly confirmed the game is real. What remains to be seen is if Valve can keep up its streak and make one of the best PC games with this new multiplayer shooter. If you don’t have Deadlock on your list of most anticipated upcoming PC games, here are all the reasons why it should be.
Valve has officially announced Deadlock.
Valve has finally lifted the lid on Deadlock, the studio's 6v6 hero shooter MOBA hybrid that's been an open secret for months.
Ever since the first leaks about Deadlock came out in May, Valve's next game has been in a bit of a weird limbo: It has hundreds of gameplay videos in the wild, a public subreddit, and a peak player count of over 44,000 thanks to invites getting passed out like candy—including to Steam tracking website, SteamDB. But the studio itself refused to acknowledge the game's existence until today. Deadlock has a Steam store page, and we're finally allowed to talk about it and share clips, as if that stopped anyone before.
