DEADLOCK PROJECT 8

G.F is part of the moderation team for the official Discord server and has no information about the release: even if he did, he would hardly share it. Everything he says should be taken as his personal opinion. Check out his videos on CS2 and HL3, where he calmly discusses rumors and other topics. But when it comes to Deadlock, he’s quite reserved in what he says.

@deadlock_8 I’m not sure about OB, but if even Gabe Follower said in an interview that Valve hasn’t even thought about OB yet, then I think it’s best to stop speculating about it altogether

People still believe that the PVE mode isn't a fake. I think I have to disappoint you. To understand the situation, you’ll have to look into the timeline of events: The first mention of PVE information came from me, but it was an extremely raw rumor that I wasn't inclined to believe. However, MS believed it and published my message, which he shouldn't have. That is why I am publishing this. After that, a friend of his wrote to him (you can see me questioning Ray words in the screenshots in the comments) saying Rey sent screenshots of the PVE map you see now. Such a map is easy to create manually, and one person managed to replicate the layout in 1 hour based on Ray's screenshot. (So Ray, or someone else, could have created this map in a couple of days with good textures). At the same time, a fake rumor appeared about Vampire (Graf), and that is partly my fault. I received some screenshots that later ended up with MS, and everything got out of control. In the end, Ivanov and a couple of other people in a conspiracy published these and other screenshots (which I didn't have) in the media, so people believed it all. The author himself posted a hero concept on the Forum using ideas from the original author, 404. But okay, what about the insiders? I think without further ado, you can read the second part of the messages in the screenshot about the test server. Also, recently, without going into details, I learned from trusted people that the information about Skins, new heroes, or anything else is a fake. But PVE is not necessarily a fake. It's just that the screenshots being circulated are fake. Valve loves taking community ideas. Everyone likes the idea of adding PVE to the game, so Hopoo or someone else might decide to add such a mode. That's how it was with Rem. Initially, Rem was a joke by Minesweeper & Icuminsocks, but in the end, their idea became the basis for the character. It's the same here. Insiders can spread fakes that Valve will see and think is a really cool idea. The people making Deadlock are just geniuses. I didn't realize this before, but now I know it's true. Many are talking about a summer release. Companies are entering the game and trying to buy rights to various mods and modes. Esports players are spreading rumors. Everything has started to develop in terms of content. And we are, apparently, on the verge of release. And I'm not joking when I say this. I believe the information I'm told by those I've been friends with for a long time.

We're not going to bring up the topic of insides and all that crap anymore. let's just forget about it. Bye-bye, Minesweeper

Are you sure the deadlock developers are the ones working at Valve? I'm starting to doubt they'd respond that quickly...

Welcome back Old Toxic bullets & Healbane Why Yoshi?

Trophy collector fucking broken GG_Icarus: In general, I quickly put up a sign when Trophy Collector pays for itself. Spoiler: very quickly. We all often take Sprint Boots, so paying extra to Collector is now a penny. The main value is soul boosts. You make a couple of kills or assists at the start and the item is already in the black. Previously, it was a niche dump, but now, due to the low price, it is becoming a really working option. Try it before you get nerfed.

"Indomitable" new item in Deadlock. Etraaaa showed all the triggers of the new item. Let's watch the video and remember. Original post: x.com/Art_EtrA/statu…

Sanya_sniper & Dimov didn't appreciate the new item in Deadlock and the patch in general, calling the changes useless. Similar opinions are being voiced by other EU/CIS streamers and pro players.

Valve loves the Deadlock community One player shared a cosplay of Billy on Discord, created specifically for LVL UP EXPO. And Yoshi (who rarely responds) replied to his post

This is the news we deserve, guys. We don't have anything to post, so just bear with it 🤡🤡

Deadlock patch coming Also, what developers are reading on the forum: “There are pedophiles in my matches” (Literally) <> Now, manual bans for anyone who uses the bikini-Graves skin

Today, GabeFollower sat down for an interview with a CS2 news outlet, and the conversation naturally shifted toward Deadlock. Maxim believes that Valve is going all-in, betting big on the project as their next flagship title designed to drive long-term profit. Regarding potential new Deadlock content, GabeFollower shared his theories on upcoming modes. He argued that a PvE mode is the most logical step forward, noting that the game already has mob mechanics and Valve can draw from their previous experience with titles like Team Fortress 2. Direct quote: "They will add PvE to Deadlock; it’s only logical."

@Pauzelock I don't even know what to call you, man - your name is literally Deadlock News 1 out of 10 faceless news outlets. Go ahead and make more fake AI content so people in the community get fed up!

@deadlock_8 PROJECT TRASH 8

How about a little hopium? Following the release of the Deadlock OLD GODS NEW BLOOD update, the developer has also added icons for the ESCORT game mode. Escort: A mode (similar to CS2) where you need to escort a hostage to a specific extraction point. GabeFollower originally reported on this back in 2024, though at the time, he described it as a mode more similar to Team Fortress Payload. Whether it will actually be added remains a mystery, but everything is in Hopoo's hands now.

@Pauzelock Make more AI shit bastard

@deadlock_8 We talked about this back in August 2025: x.com/Pauzelock/stat…

In a 44.1 MB update for Deadlock, localization files for all languages were updated, along with Bebop's air melee animation. Tomorrow, Yoshi - we know, but we can't prove it.

@Winterhexed real

@deadlock_8 isnt that viscous icon real? (scrapped i believe, but still real)

The fake deadlock leaks from the test server are getting out of hand. We live in the age of AI, and this is just crazy

@pryzymz I've changed my views on Valve's work - that's all

@pryzymz I'll tell you more - we were among the first to get involved with Insiders back in October 2024

We have to admit, Valve has pulled off the impossible -there are no more insiders. They’ve kicked everyone out. Small parts of information about minor changes are still leaking out, but things won’t be the same as they used to be. They’ve won, and I congratulate them. Forget about Hesy, Mrak, Minesweeper, Sleeplive, and the rest.
