The Geist family tombstone

The following is a list of known dated events in the Deadlock timeline.

Note: The main reference point for "current day" assumes that the musical South Pacific opened on Broadway in the same year as it did in our world, and that said opening was a recent event, as mentioned by various characters. As such, some of the dates may be changed as more of the worldbuilding is set in stone during the game's development.

Estimated dates that either haven't been confirmed by in-game content or are set after the main timeline divergence point (the first Maelstrom) are marked with an asterisk (*).
