There is another leak for an upcoming, officially unconfirmed game from Valve. This time we are treated to a bit of gameplay that reveals not only what the production will look like, but also the characters we will be playing as. Rumors have been confirmed that the title will be a mix of team shooter with well-known mechanics from MOBA games. The material comes from an early version of the game (alpha), so the release won’t happen too soon.
Several new (unofficial) videos from Valve’s upcoming Deadlock game have appeared online. We already know what the gameplay will look like, and we’ve also met 19 playable characters.
Deadlock is a new game from Valve. Portal and Half-Life fans may be disappointed as the title will be an online shooter
For people who missed the previous information about the game: Deadlock will be a shooting game in which two teams of six people fight. The events of the game will take place on several lines that they will have to defend (just like in the MOBA genre). Some people have described the title as “third-person Dota” and it must be admitted that this is an accurate observation. Each of the 19 characters will feature their own original skills, and we will also be able to use items. Most of the video material showing Deadlock’s gameplay has already been removed as a result of the actions taken by Valve, but at least one of them is still available and can be seen below (if this is also removed over time, we will find a copy of it) from At this address).

Counter-Strike 2 – the first official trailer of the successor to the popular FPS game. Counter-Strike: Global Offensive is disappearing from Steam
The gameplay in question starts from the moment the player character is attached to a rail and moves along one of the lines (a separate rail is available for each). An animation of walking, shooting, and rolling (dash) is then shown, as well as possibly one of the turrets. The entire part is a tutorial phase that does not offer us a real battle. From the list that will appear later, you can know that three sections have been prepared to teach the player the rules and mechanics of the game. A simple look at the characters only confirms that the production will partly belong to the mentioned MOBA genre, as each of them will have its own role in the game (healing or defending others, attacking, etc.). So it’s setting up something like League of Legends, but the action will take place from a third-person perspective, and sometimes the mechanics themselves are a little different. An official announcement is scheduled to come soon, but a debut isn’t necessarily possible, as production is still in its early stages.
