Deathloop is a murder puzzle where you play an assassin trapped in a time loop. But donât worry, time is always on your side.
Yeah yeah, I think we know the concept pretty well here
StealthGamerBR is gonna have a field day with this gameâŚ
heâs gonna completely break it.
i could be wrong, but i think they got him to do some of the trailer footage at some point?
Game Informer has Deathloop on the cover. Theoretically, the digital version is available, but my subscription lapsed, what with me not setting foot in a GameStop for over a year.
But it looks like theyâre covering it for the month the way they did with Hitman 3, so there should be some new videos and articles in the next few weeks.
Did anyone see the movie Edge of tomorrow? It did the deathloop idea very well in my eyes. Donât be fooled by the fact that the main cast is Tom Cruise.
In the movie, he is an untrained war reporter that suddenly is thrown into combat. Of course, on the first attempt he instantly gets shot and dies as soon as he exposes himself.
With every new attempt, he learns enemy patterns to evade attacks but also learns how ro convince other people to trust his words and follow him, all by trial and error. Error means death means starting over. Incrementally, he advances and finally breaks the loop when he destroys the whatever main robot antagonist.
If this game has a simIlar approach, that would be so cool.

Feels like Dishonored mixed with Groundhog Day. Sadly itâs not my cup of tea
Still waiting for that Arx Fatalis / Dark Messiah follow-up, Arkane!
Yeah, pretty sure that´s what it´s gonna be Looking forward to it, but if Dishonored 2 is anything to go by, my PC probably won´t be able to run it in sufficient quality
Damn, still gotta play those two The kicking mechanic in DM looked especially enjoyable
Game Informer did the annoying Rapid Fire thing with game director Dinga Bakaba. Every once in a while, they even ask him something serious about the game.
And a screenshot gallery.
Some gameplay showing off some of the weapons in the game (including a Prey-style turret ).
And an article on how they approached designing Deathloop.
Some cool details on how the multiplayer works.
- Julianna will only be able to invade when there are other targets around, so thereâll be times youâre free to explore different areas without worrying about her.
- Youâre immediately notified of her presence and the area locks down.
- You donât have to fight her. You can hack an antenna and escape the area.
- In addition to being able to turn it off entirely, you can also limit invasions to people on your friends list.
- You wonât be able to communicate with the person invading directly, in part to preserve Julianna as her own character.
And apparently they havenât decided yet whether or not the game will tell you if Julianna is being controlled by the AI or a 12 year old loser in their parents basement with Hot Pocket grease all over their fingers a real person.
Game director DInga Bakaba answers some fan submitted questions.
A few things I found interesting:
- Based on playtesting, the game is comparable in length to the Dishonored games and Prey.
- Julianna has her own progression system, but itâs random to keep her invasions unpredictable.
- When they talk about there being one solution to ending the loop, theyâre referring to there being one way to manipulate all 8 characters into going to the right district at the right time so you have the opportunity to kill them all in one loop. How you go about killing them is still up to you.
Itâs growing on me, looks more and more interesting and fun, but sadly there is no way I can buy (I could, but no way to play it.) this game when released in May, PS5 is nowhere to be seen here in Norway, some say summer and some even says next year!
In retrospect, I think it is a mistake to release this game only on PS5, Iâm pretty sure they could sell more if released on PS4 as well, developed for PS4, and upgradeable to PS5 would in my mind be ideal.
with mass effect and resi 8 coming out only weeks before the original release date i was strongly considering skipping it until later anyway so this is pretty good news tbh
And I probably wonât have a PS5 before September anyway.
Good for us who donât have been able to buy a PS5 yet, scalpers can keep theirs.
Arkane gave a hands-off preview to a bunch of sites. Canât wait to telekinetically throw some fools around.
i wonât be able to play it for a long time, but iâm still hyped as all hell. very much my bag.
