Deathloop by Arkane Studios and published by Bethesda was announced at the PlayStation 5 event in June. It's an action-adventure set on a sixties-era inspired island of Blackreef. You play as Colt an Assassin. Every day is one long party for the guests that resets at night with almost everybody not remembering a thing about what happened the day before. However Colt does remember and must use that knowledge to track down and take out eight targets - however his nemesis Julianna is trying to stop him. It's a console launch exclusive which likely means it will come to other formats but nothing has been announced yet.
Deathloop transports you to the mysterious island of Blackreef, where an eternal struggle between two extraordinary assassins will determine the island's future. As Colt, you must find a way to put an end to the timeloop trapping the island in an endless cycle, all while being hunted by the island's inhabitants. Using your powerful weapons and abilities, you'll need to take out 8 key targets across the stunning, yet chaotic, island before the day resets in order break the loop once and for all. But lurking in the shadows is rival assassin Julianna whose sole mission is to take Colt out and keep the loop going. Learn from each cycle, try new paths and approaches, and break the loop.
Each new loop in Deathloop is an opportunity to learn from the past and adapt. Finding clues and uncovering hints is key to taking out targets before the day resets. Discover relationships, learn schedules, and do whatever must be done to gain the necessary knowledge. Players will apply what they've learned in previous loops to try different paths, choose to sneak or attack, and devise other new strategies to eventually reach their targets. If at first you don't succeed… die, die again.
The time-loop death mechanic can work well and blended with the action and the island's unique setting and I will say my attention has definitely been piqued! The developer video mentions unique features for the DualSense and the fact that this is currently slated to be released before Christmas and it looks like Deathloop might be a launch title, certainly something unique to play at the start of the new generation.
