'''''Neon Prime''''' was a sci-fi themed [[wikipedia:Third-person_shooter|third-person shooter]] [[wikipedia:Multiplayer_online_battle_arena|MOBA]] developed by [[Valve Corporation]] from 2020 to 2022 but ultimately unreleased. It was the second iteration of ''[[Citadel]]''.

The game was cancelled late in development and reworked into ''[[Shadowline]]'' and later ''[[Deadlock]]'', due to negative feedback from playtesters regarding its art style and setting. ''Neon Prime'' reportedly had issues of poor visibility due to the heavy use of neon lights in VFX and models.<ref>{{YouTubeCite|OJ-fXZtrS-4|Valve's Playtesters Hated This Game (and it got canceled...)}}</ref>

Many of ''Deadlock's'' current features and assets have been inherited from ''Neon Prime'', and are expected to be updated or replaced over the course of development.
