CS data miner/insider Gabe appears to have leaked the first details of Valve's upcoming title, which will be titled Deadlock. According to him, Deadlock will be a competitive 6v6 third-person hero shooter.
Previously, the game was codenamed "Neon Prime". In the game, players will battle on a large map with 4 routes. The game will also feature a variety of skills and items. Not only that, but there may also be some tower defense mechanics.
The leaker concluded that the game will be a hybrid of Dota 2, Team Fortress 2, Overwatch, Valorant, SMITE, and Orc Must Die. Of course, its predecessor "Neon Prime" was also a "stitching" game according to previous revelations.
Unfortunately, Deadlock will not be associated with the Half-Life universe. Gabe said: The game originally had sci-fi elements, and was inspired by Half-Life and Portal. However, after receiving some negative feedback, the development team decided to remove these elements and focus on the fantasy genre. In addition, the design of the game's heroes was heavily inspired by Dota. The main map is modern steampunk style European cities.
It should be noted that although Gabe's previous game leaks have a good accuracy, everything is subject to official information.
