デッドロックのプレイヤー数は激減し、オンラインのピーク時のプレイヤー数は現在 20,000 人を下回っています。 これに応じて、Valve は開発アプローチの改訂を発表しました。
今後、Deadlock のメジャー アップデートは固定リリース スケジュールに従わなくなります。開発者によると、この変更により、より徹底的な開発が可能になり、最終的にはより実質的なアップデートにつながるそうです。 チームは、ホットフィックスが必要に応じて展開され続けることを強調しています。

以前、Deadlock は隔週で更新を受けていました。このペースは有用であることが判明しましたが、開発者は、実装された変更が完全に安定して最適に機能するまでに十分な時間が与えられないと感じました。 これが戦略の変更を促しました。
Deadlock のピーク時の Steam プレイヤー数は一時 170,000 人を超えていましたが、2025 年初頭までに 18,000 ~ 20,000 人に減少しました。
この信号はゲームに問題をもたらしますか? 必ずしもそうとは限りません。 この MOBA シューターはまだ開発初期段階にあり、リリース日は未定です。 特に Valve が新しい Half-Life タイトルを社内で承認していることを考慮すると、2025 年以降にリリースされる可能性は十分にあります。
Valve は品質に重点を置き、洗練された製品を優先します。 同社は、優れたゲームは自然にプレイヤーを惹きつけ、収益をもたらすと信じています。調整された更新スケジュールは主に開発者に利益をもたらし、開発プロセスを合理化します。 この戦略は Dota 2 のアップデート サイクルの進化を反映しており、このアプローチの前例を示しています。 したがって、直ちに警戒する必要はありません。

A gentle yet powerful support unit with abilities that boost team synergy and restore energy through emotional resonance.
Her passive skill strengthens allies based on their current health and morale, making her ideal for long story campaigns and cooperative challenges.
🎮 New Gameplay Additions:
Echo Mechanic: Players can now replay past story sequences in "Echo Mode" to uncover alternate outcomes and hidden dialogue.

The highly anticipated crossover between Sword of Convallaria and Delicious in Dungeon has officially kicked off with a thrilling month-long event, bringing together fans of both beloved franchises in a unique fusion of fantasy adventure and dungeon delving cuisine.
🌟 Event Highlights:
Themed Dungeons: Players can now enter specially designed "Culinary Catacombs" inspired by the whimsical yet perilous depths of Delicious in Dungeon. These dungeons feature monster recipes, edible enemies, and hidden ingredients that unlock exclusive crafting recipes.
New Characters: Introducing Sylphine, a hero from Sword of Convallaria reimagined as a dungeon chef, wielding her enchanted blade not to slay, but to "season" foes with magical spices. Meanwhile, Ludwig, the beloved chef from Delicious in Dungeon, joins the Sword of Convallaria world as a temporary ally, offering potions and battle-guiding tips based on his culinary wisdom.
Recipe-Based Combat: A new gameplay mechanic allows players to combine ingredients found in dungeons to create powerful "flavor-enhanced" abilities—such as Searing Saffron Strike or Mushroom Cloud Barrage—adding a delicious twist to traditional combat.
Exclusive Rewards: Complete daily quests, defeat themed bosses like the Goblin Gourmet King, and collect rare "Spice of the Realm" items to unlock limited-time skins, mounts (including the Custard-Covered Wyvern), and a special Sword of Baking Light.
Collaborative Story Arc: A serialized story mode explores how the two worlds collide—when a magical rift accidentally opens between the mythical realm of Convallaria and the cursed dungeon of Delicious in Dungeon. The fate of both worlds rests on balancing flavor, fury, and friendship.
🍲 Why Fans Are Raving:
The crossover has been praised for its clever fusion of Sword of Convallaria's epic fantasy storytelling and Delicious in Dungeon's unique blend of dungeon crawling and gourmet fantasy. Fans are particularly excited about the "taste-based" battle system, which turns combat into a flavorful experience—both literally and figuratively.
