Not sure where the official announcement of this happened, but videos and discussions of the game are now finally allowed. The game is still invite-only, but expect to start seeing it all over the place now. Popular streamers are already jumping into it.
It is like Overwatch and Leaguen of Legends/Heroes of the Storm had a baby.
It is a FPS MOBA.
Not an FPS, but a 3rd person shooter.
Close enough :P
Everyone calling it a shooter MOBA is right, but more basically: It's Smite. It's just Smite, but good. I played the Smite 2 alpha and it was very lame, no verticality, gunplay felt bad. Deadlock has an original theme, gunplay feels tight, and there is clearly a huge skill ceiling. I don't know if it's 100% yet, which tracks cuz it's an alpha, but it's already better than Smite and I have faith they'll make it better.
