PlayStation 5 console exclusive Deathloop will most certainly hit its release date of 14th September 2021 because the game has now gone gold. Arkane Studios confirmed the welcome news on Twitter, meaning work on the 1.0 version of its latest new IP is now complete. Attention will now most likely turn to readying up a day one patch, preparing for the general launch, or working on any post-launch DLC the developer might have in store.
Originally slated to launch alongside the PS5 console last November, it's been a slightly rough ride for Deathloop as delays pushed it back. With today's news in the bag, next month's release is now looking mighty fine. The game recently took centre stage in a State of Play livestream and is confirmed to remain a PS5 console exclusive until at least 14th September 2022. Famed for its work on the Dishonored series, Arkane Studios may have another excellent experience on its hands.

Looking forward to this, and confirming which is the best loop- Death, Fruit or snooker
I’ve been hyped for this game since announcement so the previous two delays killed me but it looks like I don’t have to worry about that happening again
I'll definitely pick it up. Looks very promising.
Wasn’t initially pumped for this, but as release draws closer, I find myself, well.. pumped.
Really looking forward to this.
This one is a wait and hope for Game Pass release. It looks intriguing, but I’m not into enough to want to buy it.
I look forward to playing this on Game Pass next year. If it turns out to be a hit and produces a sequel it’ll be a shame for PS owners as it would most definitely end up being an Xbox console exclusive.
Arkane faced a bit of hate but chose to be polished and late than hasted but full of mistakes, sealing their fate. We’ve finally reached the gold state. Looks great, can’t wait.
And before another delay happens like when Cyberpunk went gold lol
The game looks fun. But its release sandwiched between Tsushima and Death Stranding director's cuts. So, I'll wait for review here.
@MaccaMUFC Exclusives end where money begins. If sales of Death Loop will be good on PlayStation, meaning if it would become the #1 money making platform for the game, then its supposed sequel will have high chance to not be exclusive.
I haven't been a fan of Bethesda games outside the recent Wolfenstein games, but Arkane is one of the best studios they own, if not the best. Microsoft buying Bethesda and its IPs in a bid to become the cool console is such a shame. It will only result in PC and Xbox getting the games they would get anyway and PlayStation losing some games.
@viktorcode Microsoft would most likely rather have a sequel exclusive to Game Pass to get more people to subscribe rather than how well it would sell on a competitor’s system. It’s not like they need the game to sell well with the money they’ve got.
Not sure how this will turn out. It's the first true next gen FPS, but not sure the art style is for everyone.
We've seen a lot of this game, and I STILL can't figure out what it actually is.... It still looks like a battle royale or something even though I know it's not.
I'm a GPU subscriber so I'll try it in a year or so but it just feels weird. Maybe in a way it's a spiritual successor to Wet?
@viktorcode Where do you think Hellblade/The Outer Worlds sold the most copies? PS4, and even so the sequels aare Xbox exclusives.
Exclusives are long-term investments and Microsoft is willing to do that, remember Game Pass and billion-dollar acquisitions are the pinnacle of long-term investment...
Not hyped for this, it just looks okay and I don't like the art style of the game. Tokyo ghostwire is more interesting and looks better.
I just want this game released already so people stop talking about it...but hopefully the actual game does turns out to be cool.
Seen so many adverts for this game (especially on Youtube), feel like I’ve played it to “death” already.
Hard pass for me
Arkane are in the top 5 developers out there. This isn't going to be anything less than stella. They're the best are developing levels - this looks like it's adopting a similar teleportation system as dishonoured...which can only be a good thing. I'm looking forward to this...but... Do I wait till it's out on gamepass and even better... That's gonna be a difficult one.
I was going to wait for this to come to Game Pass, however, HFW looking like it's going to be delayed until 2022, and not much else confirmed yet for a Q4 release this year, I might look at picking it up November/December time.
