If you want to keep Deadlock’s third-person action-MOBA feel, try SMITE 2. If you’re after team-based hero-shooter matches, look at Overwatch; for a third-person superhero shooter, try Marvel Rivals. Each shares a different part of Deadlock rather than serving as a direct copy.
That distinction matters because Deadlock is still in early development. Valve’s Steam listing describes it as both a MOBA and a third-person shooter, says access is limited to friend invites through playtesters, and gives its release date as “To be announced.” The listing also notes that the build includes temporary art and experimental gameplay.

Games like Deadlock at a glance
| Game | Best fit if you want… | How it compares with Deadlock | Access and status |

| SMITE 2 | Third-person combat built around MOBA play | The clearest match for Deadlock’s combination of third-person perspective and MOBA structure. | Free-to-play; listed as Early Access on Steam. Official Steam listing |
| Overwatch | Team-based hero combat and 5v5 matches | More shooter-first: its team battles suit players drawn to Deadlock’s heroes, but not necessarily its MOBA framing. | Free-to-play, team-based, and cross-platform, according to Blizzard. Official Overwatch page |
| Marvel Rivals | Third-person team PvP with superheroes | Shares a third-person hero-shooter feel, but its superhero setting is a different draw from Deadlock’s MOBA identity. | Free-to-play. Official Marvel Rivals page |
What should I play if I like Deadlock?
Choose SMITE 2 for the closest genre bridge
SMITE 2 is the most direct fit in this shortlist if the combination you want is third-person action and MOBA structure. Its official Steam listing describes it as a free-to-play third-person action MOBA and marks it Early Access. That makes it a more natural starting point for players interested in the way Deadlock joins shooter perspective with MOBA play than a conventional team shooter.
The listing’s description says, “No other game offers combat that feels like your favorite hero shooter, crossed with the deep strategy you can only find in a 5v5 MOBA.” Treat that as promotional copy from the game’s official listing, not an independently measured comparison. SMITE 2 on Steam

Choose Overwatch for team hero-shooter matches
If what you enjoy most is picking a hero and fighting as part of a team, Overwatch is the shooter-first option here. Blizzard describes it as a free-to-play, team-based game with 5v5 matches and cross-platform play. Its appeal is team combat rather than matching Deadlock’s MOBA-and-third-person-shooter combination. Blizzard’s Overwatch page
Choose Marvel Rivals for third-person superhero PvP
Marvel Rivals offers a third-person, free-to-play, team-based PvP shooter built around superheroes. It may suit players who want hero abilities and a comic-book setting in a third-person shooter. The official page establishes that broad fit, but does not provide enough detail here for a mode-by-mode comparison with Deadlock. Official Marvel Rivals page
