Deadlock is a hero shooter that both does and does not exist, which is to say that we've all seen it and talked about it, and plenty of people have played it and are likely playing it at this moment, but Valve has steadfastly refused to acknowledge that anyone is even paying attention to it, much less that it's something currently in development, thus leaving it in a suspended state not unlike, say, a metaphorical cat in a box.
The only thing we can say for sure at this point is what associate editor Ted Litchfield said last week:. Deadlock is out there for anyone with an interest to see, and it's a rumor only in the most technical sense: As long as Valve refuses to acknowledge that anything is going on , we are obligated to treat it as a game that may, or may not, be happening.
It's possible we'll get a proper look at Deadlock in June. Half-Life: Alyx, Valve's last next big thing, was formally unveiled at The Game Awards in 2019; the summer version of that event, Summer Game Fest, takes place on June 7, a week from today. Of course it's also possible that Valve will maintain the wall of silence until The Game Awards—in 2025. Either way, we'll keep you posted.
