Deathloop, the time-looped shooter, now has a release date

Deathloop, the retro-inspired time-loop shooter where two rival assassins stalk each other, now has a release date. The game’s planned release date is now May 21, 2021 for PC and PlayStation 5.

The game was originally revealed at E3 in 2019 and was slated for release next year. However, due to coronavirus concerns and work-from-home policies at Arkane Studios, the game has been delayed until spring 2021.

In Deathloop, the player assumes the role of Cole, an assassin with supernatural powers. Cole must find and kill eight people who maintain a time loop he is trapped in. However, a second assassin comes after Cole. The rival, Julianna, can be played by another person in the game’s online mode.

The Time Loop and Rival Assassin is a big twist to the game, which clearly shares a lot in common with Arkane’s other titles, like Dishonored. We will be able to see how ambitious the game is and solve its mysteries when it releases in May.
