Valve Finally Reveals Deadlock
Deadlock is a MOBA set from a third-person shooter perspective, a detail known previously from hushed discussions about the game but also confirmed now that the Steam page is live. This means that while it's got some hero shooter traits to it with different characters and abilities to master, the goal of each Deadlock match is to use your team and your NPC grunts to push lanes and ultimately overtake the map while the opposing team tries to do the same.
Aside from those details that confirm the genre of the game, Valve has basically nothing to say about Deadlock at this time.
"Deadlock is a multiplayer game in early development," the Steam page for Valve's new Deadlock game said.
As for getting into Deadlock, Valve says that the game is currently only on an invites-from-friends basis, and it doesn't have a release date.
Prior to Deadlock going public, there was a whole discussion over NDAs and general etiquette when it comes to talking about games like this. The Verge published a lengthy piece talking all about Deadlock and what the game was like despite a popup asking players not to talk about the game when you first start playing Deadlock. That popup definitely isn't a binding NDA of any sort and isn't something you technically have to even agree to in order to play the game, and Deadlock already had tons of players at that point and was in no way a secret, but many still didn't appreciate such a public dissection of the game.
But the game's a known quantity now, so perhaps we'll be hearing more about it in the future if people grow more comfortable talking about it. Clips from matches have already been surfacing more on social media and on YouTube, and now that Valve has revealed the game, it's only a matter of time until it starts sharing more about the characters, world, and other parts of Deadlock.

I've been playing it for a bit now, it is pretty fun. It's unique in regards to gameplay and hero abilities. Just hope they add some more heroes to add a little bit of more of hero diversity. Otherwise, great game so far.
