Deathloop
Arkane Studio's PlayStation swan song

Video game still from Deathloop of a man in a leather jacket shooting a gun.

Arkane Studios, creator of Prey and the Dishonored series, was part of Microsoft’s big shopping spree over the last few years. Its farewell game for PlayStation, Deathloop, should be a party no one will soon forget. Or escape.

Deathloop follows Colt, an assassin who finds himself trapped in a stretch of time that restarts upon sunrise. A decadent cult is taking advantage of the anomaly, spending this cycle to celebrate and sacrifice. Arkane’s specialty are a clockwork-like environment, rewarding players keen on detail and finding elaborate methods of getting the job done. A looping night seems like the perfect playground to shape your own destiny. Unfortunately for Colt, he’s not the only one making the most of the time.

Deathloop begins Sept. 14 on PlayStation 5.
