This is where Deathloop's map knowledge becomes crucial, and a main reason for Arkane to introduce the invasion mechanics after players have had a chance to familiarize themselves with Deathloop. When players hop int0 a game as Julianna, the Colt player will already be in the district, needing to be tracked down. A load out can be built from available weapons and abilities before being set loose in the playable area. Getting into one of Blackreef's four unconventionally time-looped districts is rather similar whether players play as Colt or Julianna. Such tactics might be important to success as Julianna, since her singular life will frequently put her at a disadvantage when facing off against Colt. Conversely, if Julianna happens to find Colt herself, she can summon NPC Eternalites to the area, inundating the Colt player with more enemies.
If Colt is spotted by enemies, Julianna will get a ping indicating Colt's last known location. Like a red phantom in Dark Souls, Julianna is considered a friendly by the game's AI, who are on the lookout for Colt, but Deathloop takes that idea a bit further.
Those who enjoy spoiling the fun in Dark Souls' PvP will likely find the role of Julianna in Deathloop quite interesting. Playing as Colt and taking down Julianna will also bring a hefty reward: potentially great weapons and a lump sum of Residuum, a kind of currency in Deathloop used to permanently unlock items and upgrades between runs. Additionally, Colt has an ability known as Reprise, which hopes to make Deathloop's invasions less frustrating by giving him multiple lives in a single run, while Julianna only has one. According to a feature on Bethesda's website, the invasion mechanic is not available from the start of the game, giving new players plenty of opportunity to acclimate themselves to Deathloop. Players shouldn't worry too much about Julianna frequently spoiling an attempt at escaping Blackreef's loop.

Julianna is designed to be controlled by other players, though there is an option to opt out of multiplayer, which makes Julianna AI-controlled. In terms of gameplay, Deathloop is a bit more action-packed than Dishonored, but a lot of the same DNA is present. One of Colt's eight targets is Julianna, an assassin like himself. Deathloop review: Combat and multiplayer. What players can add to the mix, be it something very random, very chaotic – on the contrary, something that is a perfectly executed plan where you will think ‘Oh that other person is a mastermind.'”ĭeathloop will release on September 14th.In Deathloop, players take on the role of Colt, an experienced assassin trying to get off the island of Blackreef, where hordes of Eternalites are content to party for eternity in the loop. “Two elements of chaos in a simulated world definitely creates some interesting moments, those moments of ‘I really didn’t plan for it to go that way but that was so awesome,’ and you will hit record on your PS5 and save that clip and then send it to the other player in case they didn’t save it and maybe add them as a friend. “What drove us to add to the game was not the competitive aspect of it really, that’s why there’s no leaderboard, nothing like that, it was really the fact that it is an anecdote generator,” Babaka explained. According to game director Dinga Bakaba, it’s more of an “anecdote generator” where players find themselves in unique and interesting situations that they feel compelled to share with their friends. Both assassins have skills and abilities that make them a perfect match for each other, but Arkane has said that Deathloop‘s PvP isn’t designed for competitive play. In Deathloop, players can invade other players’ campaign as antagonist Julianna, whose sole purpose is to take down Colt.
