Mayhem, Rinse, Repeat
Colt and Julianna are the main characters featured in Deathloop
In a recent article published on the Bethesda website, Arkane Studios released game play footage and combination teaser trailer for their upcoming game ‘Deathloop,’ an eternal clash of super assassins – single player FPS. In the game you play Colt who is hunted endlessly on an island filled with partying masked murderers, and, his biggest threat, Julianna Blake, a rival assassin.
The trailer shows the action packed, minion filled streets and buildings you must travel through, as well as some flashes of Julianna coming to finish the job those minions start, and demonstrates that killing and dying are somethings you should become comfortable with. As the sole prey on an island of hunters, constantly dying, as you fight for your life, may be part of some players' strategies as they learn what’s coming and what surprises to expect.

The cycle begins in the all new look at Arkane Studios' Deathloop
Something Familiar on Something New
As the main antagonist, get ready to face (die to) Julianna Blake, again and again and again and again…
If, after watching the trailer, you get some feelings of nostalgia, you are not alone. Arkane Studios' team was behind much revered Bioshock 2 and the Dishonored series. Fans of those titles are sure to see some easily identifiable similarities, but those familiarities get an update with this fresh mechanic of ‘lives’ in the game.
Until the launch of the PS5 this holiday season, however, we will have to wait to see if we can break the loop. Breaking that loop should also look amazing with 4k/60FPS at launch, and the promises made by Sony’s tech. ‘Deathloop’ will also be available on PC same day, and has a delayed release for other consoles.
