A few days ago, we informed you about Valve’s upcoming 6v6 third-person hero-based shooter, Deadlock. Then, one day later, we shared with you its first leaked screenshots. And today, we bring you the first gameplay footage from it.
This gameplay video is pretty short and of low quality. It also appears to be from an early alpha build. So, don’t expect much from it. I’m pretty sure the final product will go way better than it. However, this video will give you a glimpse at its art style (which will remain the same).
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.
As I’ve already said, I’m not that excited about this game. I can see why Valve decided to invest in it though. Deadlock has the art style of Team Fortress and Overwatch, and I’m certain it will attract a lot of people. Let’s also not forget that this is Valve we’re talking about. So, this could be a big hit. Regardless of that, I’m not a fan of these games so it’s a hard pass from me.
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 and stay tuned for more!
