Citadel early gameplay footage

Citadel, or project8, was an early development version of Deadlock. Many of Deadlock's game files are still named after Citadel.

References to Citadel in other Valve games were first discovered by dataminers in 2019.[1] It was speculated to be a multiplayer team-based shooter set in the Half-Life universe, named after the Combine Citadel from Half-Life 2. It was also speculated to feature asymmetrical VR-desktop gameplay.[2]

Yoshi shared gameplay footage of an early Citadel prototype build that used Half-Life: Alyx and Left 4 Dead 2 assets.[3]

Citadel changed its setting and was renamed to Neon Prime at some point between 2019 and 2021.
