However, whereas other games that boast similar concepts such as Hitman and even Arkane’s own Dishonored games merely prescribe a set of alternative routes, in Deathloop the manipulation of time is brought to bear here, adding layers of sophistication and genuinely ingenious design that none of those games could ever hope to match. Also like Dishonored and BioShock before it, Deathloop also provides players with the necessary tools and creative latitude to hack terminals, alarm systems and turn turrets against their masters with Colt’s super handy Hackamjig tool that does exactly what it says on the tin. However, if you die you’ll lose all the gear that you have on your person – until, well, you discover how not to.Ĭertainly fans of Dishonored will find much of Deathloop’s design to be functionally adjacent, in that Colt can traverse the Deathloop’s vertically expansive environments at great speed, leap off walls, sneak through tunnels, stealth-murder at leisure and generally turn the island of Blackreef into your own personal murder, death, kill playground as you see fit. Whether that’s going straight into an encounter all-guns blazing, creeping up on your target via a secret route or somehow convincing their own underlings to kill then, the pleasing array of methods at your disposal for offing each of the Visionaries is broad, creative and staunchly satisfying. Make no mistake, the developers of Deathloop are clever folks and they think you are too. This being an Arkane game of course, the manner in which you go about doing this is not prescribed in the least and it’s up to you to find your own way to kill each mark. The goal, chiefly, is to track down each of the eight ‘Visionaries’ that hold sway over the island, kill them, take their powers and then attempt to break the titular Deathloop.

The Developers Of Deathloop Are Smart And They Think You Are TooĪs Colt, players begin every day the same – washed up and cussing fire on the Blackreef coast, looking for a way to make sense of everything while also trying to ascertain just how to break the loop and escape. As such, while Blackreef might seem like freedom for everyone else, for Colt it’s his prison and Julianna is his jailer.
Julianna, the assassin whose sole purpose is to maintain the status quo of Blackreef, has taken it upon herself to kill Colt at every turn in order to prevent him from acquiring the knowledge needed to break the loop. While Blackreef may be a stylish wonderland, for Colt it is his prison, a world ruled by decadence where death has no meaning, and delinquents party forever while keeping him captive.As it turns out, this time-looping phenomenon seems to be the exclusive domain of the island of Blackreef, an ultra-hedonistic retreat where decadence is eternal and the inhabitants can literally do whatever they like safe in the knowledge that the day will just restart itself again and all their sins will be erased. DEATHLOOP will present a stunning, retro-future, 60s-inspired environment, that feels like a character within itself. THE ISLAND OF BLACKREEF - PARADISE OR PRISON: Arkane is renowned for magnificently artistic worlds with multiple pathways and emergent gameplay. The multiplayer experience is completely optional, and players can choose to have Julianna controlled by AI within their campaign. So if you're feeling devious, you, too, can step into Julianna's stylish sneakers and invade another player's campaign to kill Colt.
All the while, you'll be hunted by your rival Julianna, who can be controlled by another player. SINGLE PLAYER GAMEPLAY INJECTED WITH DEADLY MULTIPLAYER: Are you the hero or the villain?

In each loop you'll discover new secrets, gather intel on your targets as well as the island of Blackreef, and expand your arsenal. Use the knowledge you gain from each attempt to change up your playstyle, stealthily sneaking through levels or barreling into the fight, guns-blazing. DIE, DIE AGAIN: Every new loop is an opportunity to change things up. Learn from each cycle - try new paths, gather intel, and find new weapons and abilities. As Colt, the only chance for escape is to end the cycle by assassinating eight key targets before the day resets.
