Deathloop, Arkane Lyon’s new first-person game, gets a new trailer debuted at the PS5 reveal stream.
As we expected from the E3 reveal, Deathloop will be mixing in the powers from the Dishonored series and marry it with a rougelike-esque timeloop system seen in Prey: Mooncrash. And a sort-of Nemesis system.
It Deathloop, you play as Colt, who’s stuck in the island of Blackreef and also stuck in a timeloop where everyday is repeating itself. What he needs to do is kill eight targets to escape the loop.
Problem is, one of those targets is a nemesis that will hunt you down, Julianna. So every loop is you figuring out the state of the world, understanding more and more until you get that perfect run. Kind of like the recent Hitman games, in a way.
The kicker is, Julianna can also be a playable character in multiplayer. Yes, Dark Souls-style invasions can happen, but in Deathloop, a formidable AI can sometimes be a proper player. Though PvP can be disabled should you want to opt out of this- Julianna will just be an AI character.
Take a look at the trailer below:
Deathloop is a PS5 console exclusive, and also coming to PC when it launches in holiday 2020, the end of the year.
