Welcome to Deadlock!
Valve is developing a new game called Deadlock, a competitive 6 by 6 third-person shooter that combines elements of hero selection, strategy, MOBA, and various shooter mechanics.
About the game:
Initially, the project was known as "Neon Prime", but then its theme and style changed from science fiction to fantasy and steampunk. Deadlock includes the basic elements of MOBA, which makes the gameplay deeper and more exciting.
6-on-6 Team Shooter:
Take part in dynamic battles where each team consists of six players.
Three lines on the map: The struggle for control of the lines and strategic decisions play a key role in victory.
Choice of heroes:
Valve's Deadlock is similar to Dota in many ways, the characters have unique abilities and can use items, which adds depth to the gameplay.
