Valorant Developer Explains Deadlock’s Design Process
According to Valorant game designer Alexander Mistakidis, we wanted to create an agent that could actively maintain a position with utilities rather than having to set them up in advance.
“Our hope is that this will appeal to players who value being able to adjust their play and strategy based on information about their opponents,” Alexander said.
Deadlock was specifically designed for the tactical player who excels in responding to situations already underway.
“It all had that improvisational nature of someone honing their craft and knowing which tools to use depending on what was going to happen,” said Valorant agent lead John Gosicki. I was. “This resonated with the metaphor of a person surviving on their own, overcoming otherworldly challenges.”
“Deadlock brings her skills and tools to the game, and it’s up to you to use them correctly to stop any enemy attack,” he added.
Deadlock will be released on June 27, following the release of Act 1 of Episode 7.
