    I don’t understand why they’re bothering with this. Isn’t the Moba shooter genre already played-out? It felt like it was losing steam over 10 years ago when they dropped a sequel to Monday Night Combat that nobody asked for.

      The player count is pretty high (95k as of this writing)

      Now is a good time to bring back a moba because the market isn’t as saturated when MNC was released.

      And for what it is worth, MNC was a great game.

        God I loved MNC, and SMNC is still my highest played game, a decade out.

        Deadlock doesn’t have the life and pizzaz that either game had.

        Ya, for an alpha game with unfinished assets and lacking polish - it’s stupid good. I’ve been out of the mobs scene for like a year or two and haven’t had a shooter register for a while, so maybe I’m starved, but this thing keeps me coming back every night.

          It’s certainly a refreshing change from the dearth of objective-based hero shooters trying to recapture the magic of 2016 OW

        95k while it’s still invite-only imagine when they open the flood gates for everyone
