Dishonored developer Arkane Studios’ newest game Deathloop will be released on May 21, 2021, on PS5 and PC Bethesda announced yesterday, confirming release date leaks from a day prior. No information was provided for the Xbox release of the game.
Announced in June 2019, Deathloop is a first-person action game that sees the game’s hero Colt stuck on the island of Blackreef in a timeloop and forced to relive the same day over and over again. Using a myriad weapons and abilities, Colt must discover a way to end the timeloop and escape the island. You can watch the game’s release date trailer below:

With Bethesda now a part of the Microsoft family, it’s somewhat humorous to see a Microsoft-owned IP launch exclusively on a rival platform. However, ever the good guy, Phil Spencer said that Microsoft would honour pre-agreed timed-exclusivity deals for both Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo.
