Deathloop: PS5 Store Reveals New May Release Date

Deathloop will now arrive on May 21, 2021, according to the PS5's Store. Arkane's time-looping FPS - which was delayed earlier this year - has now got a pre-order page on PS5 that lists its release as May 21. That's in-line with its previous window of Q2 2021. That release date is presumably for both its PS5 and PC versions, which were originally due to drop at the same time. The game is a timed console exclusive on PS5, which Xbox will honour even after agreeing to an acquisition of Arkane's parent company.
