A few months have passed since then We first learned about Deadlock. However, it was unofficial, in the form of a leak, and therefore subject to many rules of caution that we must always follow in such cases. And the information can be false, it can be true, but what it refers to is subsequently canceled, its publication can affect future plans… well, as we always remember, it is good to take them into account, but with a good dose skepticism.

The leak already indicated that to us It was another big Valve projectand which will therefore join other references on the market such as the Counter-Strike saga, the invaluable Portal or of course Half-Life, whose never confirmed but always expected third part is still present in rumours, speculations, etc. And although Steam is already some time is what most people associate with the brand, his role as a developer is also more than remarkable.

The last big reminder of this in this regard was in March of last year with the launch of Counter-Strike 2, one of the biggest franchises, in another demonstration of the extreme priority Valve gives to multiplayer titles. Something that we already “knew” also applies to Deadlock, a title that has been up in the air all this month of Augustbut which was not allowed to speak, precisely to those who had something to say about it.

It seems that has finally changed, and it is Valve has published a Deadlock page on Steamalthough it is true that, as can be seen there, almost no information can be found. Just a video, an indication that it’s in early development, that it falls into the action genre, the languages ​​it will be translated into, and if you have a similar game, recommendations based on it (in my case, it tells me I might like it, because I have Counter-Strike 2).

But what do I mean when I say it was a “secret”, why the quotes? Well, because actually Deadlock has been adding users since early Augustalthough the only way to gain access is through an invitation obtained from another user who already has access (yes, in the style of the first months of Gmail). Now, Valve has been open to all of these users from the very beginning and has expressly prohibited the posting of information, images, and any other type of game content. Which, of course, did not prevent all sorts of information and sources from appearing about him in recent weeks.

After publishing the Deadlock page on Steam We can think that Valve decided to open their hand a littleand therefore we will soon be able to learn much more about this game, which has already generated enormous interest, despite being “secret”.
