According to Insider Gaming - who were provided with details of the project - the 6v6 third-person-hero-based-shooter is currently in the alpha stage, and has been descried as an “early development build with lots of experimental gameplay features and art assets.” The outlet claimed the game would feature 19 heroes with separate combat mechanics, such as robots, magicians and other creatures - with each character fitting into a separate playstyle, like assassins, heavy fighters, ranged and healers. ‘Deadlock’ reportedly will be similar to Valve’s multiplayer battle arena franchise ‘Dota’, with Insider Gaming sharing gameplay would revolve around eliminating enemies and “creeps”, which would provide the player with the in-game currency of “souls”.
