Deadlock's biggest update yet marks a threshold moment: now's the time to grab yourself an invite
Deadlock's latest reworked map updates has brought huge changes to Valve's unreleased multiplayer shooter, and it's a great time to get in on the action.
Watch on YouTube First, a super brief, top level explainer for the uninitiated: Deadlock's a third-person MOBA, which in this case means it's about two teams of six advancing down lanes to blow up a big shouty magical robot thing in their rival's base. That interplay between your abilities and the environment, desperately pinging yourself off a wall at just the right angle to pop up to another rooftop, folding in a short-range blink teleport from a Warp Stone, then a heavy melee to flit through a window and dash away to freedom... it's sublime stuff. The whole game oozes personality, from the billboards advertising questionable magical remedies and beverages to the sheer slapstick of seeing a Viscous use his ultimate to turn into a massive goo ball and clobber through a team, like a sticky Indiana Jones boulder.
