Deathloop is the latest title from Arkane Studios, the developer behind the Dishonored series and 2017’s Prey. Similar to those games, Deathloop is played in first person, utilizing combat mechanics that incorporate a mixture of first-person shooting and supernatural powers. Additionally, Deathloop will feature world-building via environmental storytelling.
The game sees you play as Colt, a man stuck on an island caught in a time loop. You can only escape the loop by killing eight targets scattered throughout the island, using information you uncover to kill more efficiently with each subsequent loop. There’s another wrinkle to account for as well: Assassin Julianna is trying to kill you in order to prevent you from breaking the loop.

Multiplayer Details
Deathloop is a bit of a hybrid single-player and multiplayer experience. Julianna–the assassin trying to kill you–is normally another player-controlled character within your world. So it’s single-player most of the time, but can become a multiplayer game if Julianna invades. You can play offline too; in which case, Julianna will be a computer-controlled adversary and the entire game will be a single-player experience.
