The store page for Valve's 'secret new game' 'Deadlock' that tens of thousands of people knew about is now open on Steam

Today (August 24, 2024), Valve opened the store page for the new title "Deadlock" on Steam. Although little information about the game has been released, it seems that development is progressing as a MOBA-type multiplayer action game. Release date and price have not yet been announced.

"Deadlock" is a new game that Valve has been developing in secret for a long time, but recently it hasn't been much of a secret. According to an article published by game media
The Verge on August 13th, over 2,000 invitations had been sent to players via Steam at that stage, an unofficial database that collects information on Steam. SteamDB displayed the number of concurrently connected players for this game, which is supposed to be a secret. The tens of thousands of players who received invitations are not asked to agree to or sign any kind of NDA, but they will receive a pop-up asking them not to share their game information with anyone. Perhaps for this reason, when searching the Internet, a lot of untrue information and videos come up, which could lead to a ban on online matchmaking.

Players who receive an invitation can also invite more friends, but this may result in them being banned from online matchmaking. GamesIndustry.biz imagines that the reason for this rather haphazard response is that Valve is working out the details of its release strategy on the fly.

However, this strategy is not a bad one, and there is no doubt that "Deadlock" attracted a lot of attention. GamesIndustry.biz says this may be a smart way to avoid the traditional style of holding an open beta just before the test, which often results in server crashes on the day of the test.
In any case, with the opening of the Steam store page, the "open secret" stage has ended. Please look forward to the next report on what kind of game it will be.
