Out of nowhere Valve began playtesting Deadlock in 2023 and players with secret access had the ability to invite their friends to join. However, it was only recently officially announced earlier in August 2024 that Valve has been doing it's best to limit the leaks and even banned a journalist from The Verge from the matchmaking service after they wrote a preview of the game. Just to make it clear that Deadlock is still in Early Access, no information has been released yet about Deadlock's narrative story and it's unknown when it will be releasing.
