The program of the State of Play of July 8, 2021 was particularly busy. Because among the games that caught our attention, we can count on Deathloop, the last excluded PlayStation from Bethesda, developed by the French of Arkane Lyon. This is an FPS in which we play as Colt, a guy stuck in a time loop who has to relive the same day over and over again each time he dies. These almost 10 min of gameplay, dubbed in French what is more, aims to better explain the concept of Die & Retry, with this narrative aspect in addition. The idea this time is to show us how to handle several situations, knowing that the present objective is to eliminate Aleksis Dorsey, also known as “The Wolf”; probably because of his mask. He is one of the 8 visionaries of the island of Blackreef that Colt must kill in less than 24 hours to hope to get out of this time loop. The small complication is that among the 8 visionaries, Julianna will chase our hero, in order to prevent him from achieving his goals. In addition to firearms, Colt also has powers reminiscent of the studio’s previous games, but also a certain BioShock which introduced this ambidextrous gameplay for the first time in 2007. The release of Deathloop is set for September 14 on PC. and PS5.
