Deadlock (Valve's Unannounced Title) Passes 12k Peak Players in Closed Alpha - eviltoast

Valve keeping up with the trend of “worst kept secrets”. You need an invite to join the alpha but since everyone who owns it can refer their friends, it spread very quickly.

I’ve been playing it the past few days and it’s honestly very fun. Still a bit rough around the edges (especially in terms of balance) since it’s in early access, but it has serious potential to be dota 2 levels of popular.

For the unaware, Deadlock is a 3rd person shooter MOBA. It feels like a mix of Dota and Overwatch/Team Fortress. Nobody is allowed to share footage or screenshots, but obviously with so many playing there’s a ton of leaks out there.

    All of their games have native Linux builds. So if this one doesn’t support Linux out of the box, his opinion is quite valid.

      It’s not out of the box though is it? Considering that this is a game that hasn’t even been revealed to the world in the first place.
