DEATHLOOP
DEATHLOOP is an innovative first person shooter from Arkane Lyon, the award-winning studio behind the critically acclaimed Dishonored franchise. The studio’s new IP continues Arkane’s signature gameplay design, challenging gamers to play their own way. As Colt, players are trapped in a timeloop on the enigmatic island of Blackreef, doomed to repeat the same day for eternity.
The only chance for escape is to break the timeloop by unearthing information and assassinating eight key targets before the day resets. However, lurking in the shadows is rival assassin Julianna, equipped with her own equally powerful abilities and weapons, on a mission to protect the timeloop by assassinating Colt, and restarting the cycle. Players can also choose to take control of Julianna, turning DEATHLOOP into a deadly game of hunter-vs-hunted.
Key Features
Signature Arkane Gameplay
Arkane’s reputation for unique immersive gameplay allows players to choose their preferred playstyle, stealthily sneaking through levels or barreling into the fight, guns-blazing. Armed with a powerful roster of otherworldly powers, as well as an arsenal of savage weaponry, players combine these deadly tools for takedowns that are as striking as they are devastating. By choosing their powers and weapons, players fight to survive this deadly game of hunter vs hunted.
Arkane’s Single Player Gameplay Injected with Deadly Multiplayer
DEATHLOOP is Arkane’s take on an assassination multiplayer experience, seamlessly blending single player gameplay with multiplayer drama. Players experience the main story as Colt, hunting down targets across the island of Blackreef to break the timeloop and earn his freedom. Players can also choose to take control of rival assassin Julianna, invading another player’s campaign to kill Colt and keep him imprisoned in the timeloop. The multiplayer experience is completely optional, and players can choose to have Julianna controlled by AI within their campaign.
Timeloops = Knowledge, Knowledge = Power
Each new cycle in DEATHLOOP is an opportunity to learn from the past and adapt. Finding clues and uncovering hints is key to taking out targets before the day resets. Discover relationships, learn schedules, and do whatever must be done to gain the necessary knowledge. Players apply what they’ve learned in previous cycles to try different paths, choose to sneak or attack, and devise other new strategies to eventually reach their targets. If at first you don’t succeed: die, die, again.
The Island of Blackreef – Paradise or Prison
Arkane is renowned for magnificently artistic worlds with multiple pathways and emergent gameplay. DEATHLOOP presents a stunning, retro-future, 60s-inspired environment, that feels like a character within itself. 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.
Accessibility updates, Photomode, GOLDENLOOP content and more
DEATHLOOP now comes fully updated with a raft of new content and updates since its initial launch, including a full suite of accessibility options, a powerful photomode editor and numerous quality of life improvements. In addition, the brand new GOLDENLOOP update brings even more excitement to the Island of Blackreef, with a new weapon, powers, enemies and secrets for Colt to discover in his quest to break the timeloop, as well as cross-play matchmaking.
