It’s only a couple days more until Deathloop launches and we still getting a new trailer. The new trailer, “Down The Rabbit Hole” as it calls itself, debuted at the 2021 PlayStation Showcase. What you might not know from watching it live is that it’s a story trailer.
The trailer recaps what the premise of Deathloop is- Colt is stuck on a party island of murderers and must murder 8 targets to break the time loop. But it also might have shown too much of their own story hook that’s probably better left to fans experiencing in the game itself.
Unexpected potential spoilers aside, the trailer is also reminding folks that it’s an action-focus immersive sim with a lot of style.
Colt will get to play with supernatural powers that you may have seen in the Dishonored games (there’s an equivalent of Domino- where you can tag and link multiple enemies together and they will all suffer the same fate). What is interesting is that are also dual-wield guns this time. That’s new for Deathloop and not from Dishonored, or Prey (2017).
And for fans of the Dark Messiah of Might and Magic, you can now satisfying kick enemies to death. It took them this long, but Arkane’s famous kick is back with more combo potential than ever.
Also, one other small detail that will remind you it’s an immersive sim is that enemies in Deathloop can trip over spilled candy. Use the vending machines (and possibly other environmental objects) to your advantage.
Deathloop is coming out on September 14 for the PS5 and PC. You can find the pre-load and unlock times for the game here.
