Yesterday, we informed you about Valve’s rumored game, Deadlock. Deadlock is said to be a competitive 6v6 third-person hero-based shooter. And, from the looks of it, a set of screenshots from it have been leaked online.
As with most leaked screenshots, these are of low quality. Thus, you won’t be able to judge the game’s graphics. However, they can give you a pretty good idea of its art style and UI.
From what we can see, Deadlock will have a similar art style to Fortnite and Overwatch. As said, the game will be also using a third-person perspective. And, I’ll be honest here, it’s something that does not really interest me in the slightest.
Deadlock was previously codenamed as Neon Prime. In this game, players will battle on a huge map with 4 lanes. The game will also have usable abilities and items. Not only that but there might be some tower defense mechanics.
Deadlock is basically described as a mix of Dota 2, Team Fortress 2, Overwatch, Valorant, Smite and Orcs Must Die. And, these leaked screenshots basically confirm that description.
Now I’m certain that Valve may create a game that can hook a lot of PC players. There is a reason DOTA 2, Team Fortress 2 and Counter-Strike 2 are so successful. However, this isn’t a game for me. After all, I prefer single-player games.
There is currently no ETA on when Deadlock will come out. Hell, we don’t even know when Valve will officially reveal it. Naturally, though, we’ll be sure to keep you posted.
Enjoy the screenshots!
