Deathloop, the brand-new IP from Arkane Studios, the developer behind the Dishonored series and the Pray reboot, is coming to PlayStation 5 and PC next year. That much we already knew, but we didn't know when exactly that will happen.

Luckily, Bethesda confirmed early this week that Deathloop will land on PC and PlayStation 5 on May 21, 2021. Arkane Studios fans can already pre-order Deathloop on PC and PlayStation 5, although PC pre-orders are only available via the Bethesda.net Launcher for the moment. But fret now, as Steam pre-orders should go live soon.

If you're still on the fence about pre-ordering Deathloop, here are some of the incentives offered by Bethesda to those who dare to pre-order Arkane Studios' upcoming game: Storm Rider character skin, One Trinket (equippable in-game buff), and The Dishonored inspired unique weapon Royal Protector Machete (PlayStation 5 exclusive).

In case you're wondering, the standard edition of Deathloop is available for pre-order for $50, while the Deluxe Edition costs $80. The same prices are available for both platforms – PC and PlayStation 5.

Those choosing Deathloop Deluxe Edition will receive the following content: all pre-order bonuses mentioned above, Eat the Rich Tribunal unique weapon, .44 Karat Fourpounder unique weapon, Party Crasher Colt character skin, Sharp Shooter Julianna character skin, original game soundtrack selections, Two Trinkets (equippable in-game buff), and the Prey inspired unique weapon Transtar Trencher (PlayStation 5 exclusive).

Deathloop is a first-person shooter where players take the role of Colt, an assassin trapped on Blackreef. Stuck in a time-loop and forced to relive the same deadly day over and over, Colt is armed with extraordinary abilities and devastating weapons that are meant to help him put an end to the cycle and find his way off the island.

However, to do so, he’ll have to take out eight key targets that are scattered across the island before the day ends and the loop resets. More importantly, he has to do all that while avoiding his rival Julianna, whose sole goal is to keep the loop going by any means necessary.
