While more widely recognized throughout the industry as the creator of gaming’s most famous online marketplaces, Valve has a rich history as a developer behind several iconic franchises.Half-LifeandLeft 4 Deadhave stood as the studio’s biggest hits, whileTeam Fortress 2has persisted as a cult classic.
Valve’s latest title,Deadlock, is a shooter that blends multiplayer popular genres. So far, its reception has been quite good, and gamers can’t wait to see what the future holds for this title. However, some fans have taken things to the extreme and mashed it up in one of Valve’s most iconic games,Dota 2, giving us something truly unbelievable.
Dota 2xDeadlockCrossover Will Blow You Away
Besides constantly bringing official updates and tournaments to its games, a large part of Valve’s success can be attributed to its active and creative community. Gamers from all across the world have contributed to the development of the studio’s games by giving us unique maps, mods, and other projects.

However, a Russian YouTuber, Meepongeroi, has taken things to the extreme. As seen in the Twitter/X video, the YouTuber has managed to merge the worlds ofDota 2with Valve’s latest project,Deadlock, allowing teams to battle it out using characters with their respective perspectives.

This crossover is essentiallyDotavsDeadlockheroes, and depending on who you end up picking, you’ll play from that particular perspective. It’s certainly a bizarre blend but quite fun and absolutely chaotic! It might be time for Valve to take a look at this project and bring it into regular arcade mode over time.
So, how exactly does this work? Well, somehow, the creators of this crossover have managed to buildDeadlockinsideDotaitself. All of this is possible due to the fact that both gamesare running on the same Source engine. It’s just been two months since the release of Valve’s latest game, and we’re already seeing such innovations, proving that the future is bright for the shooter.
Valve’s Future Lies withDeadlock
Valve officially gave us a look atDeadlockon August 23rd, 2024. However,the game is still in active developmentwith lots of experimental gameplay and temporary additions. As of now, we still don’t have an official release date for the game, and it is currently locked to friend invites via our playtesters.
Deadlockis a 6v6 MOBA third-person shooter in which your team must gain control over a map by fighting off against the opposing team and punishing them back, but gamers are also leading an army of NPC grunts down four lanes to wreak the opposing team’s stationary defenses.

The game is undoubtedly Valve’s biggest project so far and is being projected as a de facto follow-up toDota 2. Despite being limited to certain players, it has managed to hit a concurrent playercountof above 100,00 players, which proves that the studio is on the right track with the project.
In the last couple of years, many gamers have accused the studio of abandoning its games and focussing on sales from Steam. However,Deadlock‘s success so far proves that Valve is still committed to the gaming community.
