We have learned today that the time bending shooter, Deathloop, will now be released on May 21, 2021. This new release date comes a short while after we had initially learned about the game's delay out of a 2020 window. Something that I apparently forgot to make a news post about here back when it happened.
Regardless, we will have quite the time to wait on this new title from Arkane Studios and Bethesda. When the game drops on May 21, it will be a console exclusive for the PlayStation 5. It will also arrive on PC on the same date as the PS5 release, so no worries there.
There are some bonus pre-order items for those looking to pick the game up on the PlayStation 5. There are also some special items included in the Deluxe Edition of the game. All of that is detailed below. But first, check out this new launch date reveal trailer for Deathloop.
Welcome to Blackreef, where the party never stops and neither does the killing. This is DEATHLOOP, a next-gen first-person shooter from Arkane Lyon, the team behind Dishonored. Our hero Colt is trapped on Blackreef, stuck in a timeloop and forced to relive the same deadly day over and over. Armed with extraordinary abilities and devastating weapons, Colt is going to have to use every tool at his disposal to put an end to the cycle and find his way off the island. To do so, he’ll have to take out eight key targets that are scattered across the island before the day ends and the loop resets. And he’ll have to do all this will avoiding his rival Julianna, whose sole goal is to keep the loop going by any means necessary. If you’re feeling villainous, you can even choose to play as Julianna and invade another player’s campaign. Learn from each cycle; try new paths, gather intel and find new weapons and abilities. Do whatever it takes to break the loop.
