Insider Gaming has been given new details on Valve's new game named Deadlock, which is believed to be released sometime in 2025.
As already leaked, the game is a 6v6 third-person hero-based shooter. Heroes include magicians, robots, creatures, humans, and more. There are currently 19 different heroes, each with different abilities and playstyles that you’d come to expect from a MOBA including ranged, healers, tanks, assassins, etc.
Players have described the game to me as being very similar to DOTA in terms of its gameplay loop and mechanics. This includes killing enemies and creeps to get the in-game currency of “souls,” which allows you to buy items to make your hero stronger. According to sources, both creeps and enemies will spawn a soul upon death, which floats up and away when they die.
You should take anything from the screenshots, and that should be obvious. It’s in early alpha, nothing is finished. It’s weird how anyone could not understand any of this.

The screenshots on it look so bad, too. It’s very generic looking. Uncharacteristic for Valve.

I mean, I still remember when TF2 was going to be a generic war game and they were showing it off hella early in development.
