Speculation is mounting that Valve’s upcoming online shooter, Deadlock, is nearing a significant new phase. The gaming community has taken note of Valve’s recent acquisition of the “Deadlock” account on Elon Musk’s social network X (formerly Twitter).
Although the financial details of the acquisition remain undisclosed, players widely interpret this strategic move as a precursor to Deadlock’s full public launch or the initiation of an open beta testing period.
Currently, Deadlock is accessible through a “semi-closed” testing environment, where existing participants have the ability to invite additional players.
