What’s with the buzz around the Deadlock reveal?

The Steam listing, serving as the main Deadlock reveal, offers a brief overview but stops short of providing in-depth information. The game’s official description hints at a blend of action-packed combat and tactical gameplay. Although, it has already drawn comparisons to other games in the genre, Valve’s history of innovation ensures us that Deadlock is set apart from the general crop of the field.

This MOBAxshooter has already generated considerable interest, peaking at over 44,000 concurrent players on Steamdb.info. Alongside the Deadlock reveal, Valve announced the removal of content-sharing restrictions. This freedom to share is huge, as it enables playtesters to freely and fearfully share gameplay footage and screenshots on social media. Though Valve has not disclosed details about the game’s business model, all signs point to Deadlock potentially adopting a free-to-play approach.

For now, Deadlock is still an invite-only game. However the surge in new players, accompanied by social media presence has plenty of discussions underway. Fans can only speculate about the game’s storyline and gameplay until another announcement is made. One thing is certain: Deadlock is already shaping to be one of Valve’s most intriguing projects in recent memory.
