Section 1: Unveiling Deadlock
Since the first leaks about Deadlock surfaced in May, Valve’s next game has been in a strange limbo. With hundreds of gameplay videos, a public subreddit, and a peak player count of over 44,000, the buzz around the game has been undeniable. Invites have been handed out liberally, even to the tracking site Steam SteamDB Database. Despite this, the studio has remained silent on the game’s existence until now. Deadlock finally has a Steam Store Page, allowing players to delve into the world of the game and share their experiences with others.
Section 2: Exploring the Deadlock Store Page
The Deadlock store page leaves much to the imagination. For a clearer understanding of what the game entails, watching videos on YouTube seems to be the best course of action. The page features a teaser video, some low-resolution key art, and numerous reminders that Deadlock is a work in progress. The description highlights that the game is in its early stages of development, featuring temporary art and experimental gameplay. Interestingly, users are unable to wishlist the game at this time.
Section 3: Lifting of Deadlock’s Gag Rule
Valve’s focused account, Gabe’s Watcher, recently shared a screenshot from a Discord announcement regarding X’s game, “The Everything App.” In the screenshot, a Valve employee named Yoshi announces the lifting of Deadlock’s public discussion rules. This change allows for activities such as streaming, engaging on social media platforms, and having discussions about the game. Despite this development, the core aspects of Deadlock, such as its invite-only status, early development stage, and experimental nature, remain unchanged.
Section 4: The Continued Buzz Around Deadlock
While the lifting of the gag rule is a positive step, it doesn’t significantly alter the landscape of Deadlock. The game continues to attract players who are eager to experience it firsthand, share their gameplay experiences, and engage in discussions about its potential. With luck, a friend might extend an invite, granting access to the intriguing world of Deadlock. As the community evolves, fans eagerly anticipate the release of additional content, including their versions of classic TF2 “Meet the Team” videos.
