Thanks to insider Tyler McVicker, it recently became known that Deadlock is in a very early stage of development. The YouTuber claims the game will release even later than Half-Life 3. Currently, the project is undergoing significant gameplay changes. Alongside public playtesting, there's also a closed test for a limited group, indicating the title is currently in pre-alpha stage. Then, just a day after this news, one of the testers leaked a screenshot from this version.

Deathy only managed to show the hero roster, which slightly differs from the "public" version. Alongside existing characters with redesigned and refined visuals, the list includes several new ones:

  • Boho
  • Bookworm
  • Doorman
  • Drifter
  • Frank
  • Priest
  • Punkgoat
  • Raven
  • Skyrunner
  • Swan
  • Trapper
  • Vampierbat

Given the nearly faded hype around the game, it's questionable whether interest in Deadlock will resurge when the project reaches at least beta stage, let alone a full release.
