Valve has finally, officially announced Deadlock<\/em>, in the most minimal way imaginable. The game now has a Steam page<\/a> that lists Valve as its developer and publisher, and a simple notice: <\/p>\n<\/div>\n Deadlock is in early development with lots of temporary art and experimental gameplay. Access is currently limited to friend invite via our playtesters.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n Valve provides no other details, just an animated teaser image. (You can see a still screenshot of it above.) The system requirements only mention that the game requires a 64-bit processor and operating system.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Today, many streamers<\/a> are playing the game live, including Shroud<\/a>, after admin Yoshi said in the game\u2019s Discord that Valve was lifting its rules against public conversation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Screenshot by Tom Warren \/ The Verge<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n While Deadlock<\/em> seems like another promising addition to Valve\u2019s lineup of big multiplayer games, it\u2019s unclear if it will have sustained popularity like Counter-Strike<\/em> or Dota 2<\/em> or will eventually fizzle out like Artifact<\/em><\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
