Dr DisRespect gives an update on Deadrop, reveals finishing internal playtest

YouTube streamer and self-proclaimed 'two-time champ' Guy "Dr DisRespect" took to his Twitter account to give a brief update on his gaming project Deadrop, created by his own gaming studio Midnight Society.

Initially titled Project Moon, the game was re-labeled as Deadrop, which is described as an extraction shooter game. Despite currently being in the middle of development, a beta version was released for public use during the Founder's event in LA on July 30.

Fans have been eagerly waiting for Dr DisRespect's game. Giving an update on the project, the YouTuber stated that his team has finished the "internal playtest." He tweeted:

When will Dr DisRespect's Deadrop be released? Streamer gives update on developments

It has been almost a year and a half since Dr DisRespect announced working on an AAA game with his studio Midnight Society. Deadrop, albeit in its Beta version, is available for people with the Game Pass. The full version is not expected to be out until at least later this year. However, a 2024 release could also be on the cards.

The initial reaction to the game was rather mixed. Due to it being in the developmental stage, players have encountered a host of bugs and glitches. Additionally, there were a lot of critical comments about the VFX and game mechanics.

Despite having quite a lot of bugs, the game was dubbed as an ambitious project that appears to be welcomed by the gaming community.

For those wondering, Deadrop will be an FPS extraction shooter game that will task the players to move vertically to accomplish their objectives. Regarding the game mechanics, Guy said:

Shreyan would love to drop into the virtual world of FIFA/EA FC and explore it further but, he would recommend playing Red Dead Redemption 2 to gaming skeptics for its top-tier gameplay, story and characters. During his downtime, he enjoys balancing his interests in reading, watching films and sports, and of course, playing video games.
