Welcome to Deadlock

Deadlock is Valve's team-based third-person action game built around 6v6 battles, hero abilities, lane pressure, item choices and fast tactical decisions.

About the game

The project was once known as Neon Prime before shifting toward a supernatural, fantasy-noir direction. Its mix of shooter mechanics and MOBA structure gives every match room for both aim and strategy.

6v6 team combat

Players fight across multiple lanes, collect souls, pressure objectives and coordinate rotations. Winning usually comes from a blend of mechanics, map awareness and smart item timing.

Heroes and builds

Each hero has a distinct kit and can be shaped through items. The right build can turn a fragile laner into a late-game threat, a roaming initiator or a durable teamfight anchor.
