An unannounced new game from Valve already has more than 10,000 players before the game's launch has even been confirmed by the Steam developer. While more widely known throughout the industry as the creator of one of gaming's most prolific online marketplaces, Valve has a rich history as the studio behind several beloved franchises. Half-Life, Portal, and Left 4 Dead have stood as some of the developer's biggest hits, while others like Team Fortress 2 have persisted as cult classics. Now, the newest game from the studio is already building excitement.
While Valve has yet to officially announce the game's release, Deadlock is set to be a new shooter coming from the Half-Life developer. Early rumors and leaks from the game's playtesters have suggested that the game will debut as a mix between a hero shooter and the MOBA genre. Valve has yet to confirm the game's release, nor has the studio officially revealed the beginning of the game's public testing period. However, recent player charts from Steam suggest the game may have quietly begun its first phase of testing.
