With this huge database leak, it’s clear that many people have gotten their hands on this game. But this makes us wonder how they got in and, more importantly,if we can all join in, too.

Although we’ve gottenleaks about this title in the past, with player counts skyrocketing, it feels as though we’re in for a ton of upcoming leaks in the future, as tons of footage and screenshots are already being shareddespite the beta’s request to keep things a secret to the public.
People have hilariously pointed out that, although the game hasn’t been officially recognized, it already has apublic subredditwith many discussion threads about the quality of the game itself.
Yet, with Deadlock only in a closed beta,tons of work still likely needs to be donebefore it officially ships in any capacity.
Users online are already complimenting thewide range of playable charactersand third-person MOBA gameplay. Combined with Valve’s great reputation,Deadlock is looking promising so far.
Ironically, gamers have mentioned thatDeadlockalready has many more players than other recent multiplayer gamesdespite having no official promotion. People specifically point toConcord’s recent failurewith its meager comparison of a 2,388 all-time peak to show just how popularDeadlockalready is.
With hype building even before any official word from Valve,we’re hoping for an official announcement soon.
