Bethesda and Arkane have announced that a new game update for Deathloop is now available for both PlayStation 5 and PC, which tweaks a few things, but also adds in a photo mode to the game, combining death, time and photos.

While the photomode is clearly a big addition to the game, there are more additions being added in this update around accessibility. The game already had a few options, but this new update adds in even more, including:

• New gameplay settings that allow players to further customize combat in Single-Player Mode (most are not available for Online or Friends modes). This includes increasing or decreasing combat difficulty, adjusting number of Reprises and slowing game speed.

• New HUD and subtitle options, such as customizing the size, opacity and color of various text and graphical elements

• Easier menu navigation, allowing for the use of directional buttons on the controller to navigate up and down menu lists. The cursor speed can also now be adjusted in settings to help with navigating the settings with a controller.

“One of the things we didn’t expect when starting on accessibility features was how some of these options can be useful and fun for everyone,” says Studio Director Dinga Bakaba. “My favorites are slow-mo, which enables everyone to make otherwise nearly impossible chain of actions, and Reprise count, which allows you to experiment without consequence with the infinite setting. On the contrary, you can use the Reprise count to make the game more challenging by turning Reprises off entirely.”

It wasn’t just a matter of the developers putting things in that they thought would work, as Yoann Bazoge explains.

“We are truly grateful to the players and the ally community who gave us so much feedback when Deathloop was released,” says Lead UI/UX Designer Yoann Bazoge. “We took the time to read all of the accessibility reviews and watch the videos of players explaining why they couldn’t play Deathloop. We then worked on a document listing all of the feedback and drew up a roadmap of what the additions would be for Game Update 3.”

Those features will make the game more open to all, which means that players can now explore the island of Blackreef even deeper than ever and as such, there are new spots to snap that killer shot.

“This Photo Mode is such a great way to allow our players to get creative by using the unique art and levels of Deathloop,” says Producer Jeremy Leulier. “The only creative limitations are defined by our players’ imaginations. We’re very excited at Arkane to see how deep the players will dig into all of the different options and what they will come up with. One of our biggest challenges was to adapt Photo Mode for a first-person shooter where your character isn’t displayed apart from the hands and weapons,” explains Leulier. “We wanted to offer the best possible experience for this mode and took the time to playtest it thoroughly and even asked for insight from players who are experts in using different Photo Modes in games. We took so much pleasure testing Photo Mode that we added a lot of relevant options for the player to make it even more fun and funnier to use.”
