Valve’s slow-paced releases have been an industry in-joke for years, but hero shooter Deadlock is already looming on the horizon. Like most big-name projects these days, it’s been prone to leaks, with the newest batch showing off a surprising amount of in-depth information on its mechanics.
Valve arguably invented the hero shooter genre with Team Fortress 2, and it’s now evidently looking for a repeat of that success with Deadlock. The game supposedly borrows mechanics and potentially even characters from Dota 2, which seems to imply that nobody at Valve remembers the fate of the last Dota spinoff. Even if it hasn’t been officially announced quite yet, there have been a few leaks showing off behind the scenes footage, including this most recent one today.
