Valve has revealed Deadlock, its latest game that combines elements of several popular multiplayer genres. Its announcement arrived without much fanfare, following a long string of comprehensive leaks about Valve's upcoming title.

Deadlock has been Valve's worst-kept secret since May 2024, when the company launched its invite-only alpha via Steam. Everyone who got into the test was first greeted with a screen asking them not to share "anything about the game with anyone." But seeing how all testers got an unlimited number of invites, it did not take long for Deadlock to start leaking all over.
