Sepreth(@Sepreth):Valve says Deadlock is still too unfinished for a public release. The studio called multiplayer games “very hard and risky” and wants the game in players’ hands early. A new development update says progression and hero and hideout customizations are still being built so they can change with feedback. Valve also listed speculative work, including large item changes and alternate game modes. Access stays invite-only. There is still no release date.
