Trivia

• The music for Deadlock was composed by a member of the development team who wishes to remain anonymous for the time being. In a private email, Valve composer Mike Morasky explained that the composer will likely take credit at a future date and confirmed it was not him or "anyone else you might normally guess." Morasky had also previously denied his involvement publicly on X (formerly Twitter).
