Deadlock prototype had Half-Life 2's Antlions marching along beside you


Having been officially announced in a very un-fanfare-y way this weekend, a developer has given us all an extra peek at a prototype of hero-shooter Deadlock.

The video itself was spotted by social media account Gabe Follower, which regularly keeps us up to date with titbits of Valve-related news (clue is in the name, really).

Image credit: Valve"Deadlock is in early development with lots of temporary art and experimental gameplay," the Steam page explains.
